I think stuff like melee and combat dodging is still script based. I remember when modding Halo 2 I'd randomly trigger some of the AI behaviors like dodging when I switched to controlling enemy units, but it only happens when you get near a master chief model. It's completely scripted and you need a way to add button binds for those actions. Likewise with AI controlled spartans they need to have a script for melee attacking Banished units without a controller command
@@poly_g6068 AI enemies use different melee from how the player does it. The most notable difference is that AI Melee animations are slower and telegraphed so the player can react, while player melee is fast and lunges to the target.
Is it just me,or do the Marines have very weird engagement styles? Like the shotgun ones seem to take shots from longer ranges than they should, and snipers and rocket launchers seem to want to get in extremely close?
Well the forerunner shotgun has two firing modes and the vertical fire is useful in combat and realistically they should want to use it for and range combat while trying to slowly defeat 117 not charge at him like a dipshit with a shotgun like some brutes
Hopefully in DLC we can get some different terrain. I’d love to see a desert/snow environment be implemented. It would also be awesome if they managed to add in some dynamic weather.
It is good to remember that halo rings are massive and we have currently only seen a small part of it, I fully expect we will encounter more UNSC and banished, as well as weather and environments on different parts of the ring
Would be reallyyyyy cool if you made the spartan model look like the deceased ones you find in the campaign and re-enact/recreate firefights from the spartan audio logs about those spartans
I gotta say, that was a good weapon choice for the Spartan NPC. It's extremely difficult for it to miss, and has good range and DPS, and works even better the closer the enemy is.
I only hope in the next dlc we actually get not just the arbiter but also different biomes like deserts, swamps and snowy tundras, weathers especially for base campaign, more diverse wildlife and lastly shipmaster Rtas needs to return to flex on brute ships that outnumber him. Let’s also not forget that they better add in forge mode with really big maps like in the days of Reach but with more options
this was great, if you wanna turn the tables have the elite ultra lead an attack on the first UNSC fob, the big base near the wrecked frigate that you start at.
Never really thought about it this way... but imagine how scary a spartan would be to go up against, a highly trained killing machine. No wonder the banished and covenant can't shut up about them.
I hope we get some more AI spartan friends later on in the campaign, not so much constant squadmates like in reach or 5 but more like the AI spartans in halo 4 & spartan ops
I mean, as much as I love the open ended aspect of things and having a lot of the things done by you, the Chief, some 'scripted' sequences where these things happen would be great to see, but then again that might not make sense since the story would shift from what it is now to something leaning more on a group effort since why wouldn't you be discussing things with a higher than normal ranked person such as a Spartan?... Still, the video with the attack on the FOBs should've been a thing though... That one kind of makes sense. You cannot 'rebuild the UNSC, one by one' on the ring without having personnel in 'em. I mean, the Banished have HVTs as well, the UNSC could have important people be like the representative or the sentry of a FOB... I hope they add back the cinematic battles in beautiful set pieces again next time, especially with UNSC/Friendlies being able to drive on their own and not always following you..
I remember I assaulted one of the bigger banished bases and I brought a full razorback of marines with me and low and behold there were a bunch of captured marines in the base and so I was leading like a massive force to capture the base. granted they all got more or less decimated but it was epic while it lasted.
I am just floored by how much better Marine AI is in Infinite compared to any of the other Halo games. Anyone else get flashbacks to the monkey with guns that were the marines from the old days?
I thought 343 had spartan AI already defined for MP? I guess it cant be used here without heavy modding, would be useful to get the adaptive reactive parts (melee and general combat performance) and meld it with the campaign pathfinding.
The ultra cloaking then dispatching a whole squad of marines, and the Spartan powering through the entire Covvie line are the most lore-accurate parts imo :)
A squad of 3 or 4 Spartans doing work and moving thru to an objective while wrecking shop along the way needs to happen!! Can we get the boys to drive a Razorback? Each Spartan could use a different Forerunner weapon.
This just more and more makes me wish we had a firefight mode with Marine AI backing ups up. like either assaulting a base or defending one. I think that would be dope as hell. especially with friends
This is what we should have seen in-game. This and more ODSTs and Spartans too. Imagine getting a drop pod scene from the Infinity before the ring teleported
2:00 the Spartan used the Jackals own shield as cover so he can recharge his shield... he is a god lol.
But let's be honest, the spartan pretty much destroying everything on the way tho is awesome
Spartans don't go quietly
-Master Chief -
If they ever implement melee for Spartans in campaign, that would help with their up close aggression big time

@@poly_g6068 wish the human melee and dodge were faster paced. seems to slow for my taste.

I was about to comment the same thing lol
Dont mind them they just have autism.
@@arthurcallahan4735 shouldn't they have already developed a cure or a vaccine for it?

Also for the rocket launchers I have not experienced this

well in previous halos you went over the entire ring not one second so how i see it is each dlc is a different part of the ring
It is good to remember that halo rings are massive and we have currently only seen a small part of it, I fully expect we will encounter more UNSC and banished, as well as weather and environments on different parts of the ring
Well theres a chance that could happen since theres a mongoose with tracks in the game files
What about the marines being able to drive.
I hope we'll see something sea related in Halo
Let's be modest here, this is your best one yet and that NPC spartan kicked butt!
You misspelled ass sir
As they should
@@iamarbiter6469 There's a lady in my head who calls me stud muffin.
@@danielawesome36 you mean your mother
@@iamarbiter6469 My mother is very proud of me, Arbiter. What say you?
*a thousand unggoy screaming "OOOH!" in the background*
That Ultra never got killed, perhaps they escaped the battle to encounter that Spartan again later? 👀
I was about to comment that the Ultra never died and just murdered a bunch of Marines while no one was looking.
A wise coward once said... "Sometimes, cowards do survive"
@@mr.incognito8088 starscream
Banished elites are more pragmatic warriors. So ir doesn’t surprise me
6:21 The Elite went dark and then ambushed those marines.
"Ultra-6 going dark"
That was wild
YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE THIS FIGHT!
Would be reallyyyyy cool if you made the spartan model look like the deceased ones you find in the campaign and re-enact/recreate firefights from the spartan audio logs about those spartans
I gotta say, that was a good weapon choice for the Spartan NPC. It's extremely difficult for it to miss, and has good range and DPS, and works even better the closer the enemy is.
The Spartan even took time to show some respect for that fallen marine 3:12 to 3:17
Seeing an AI Spartan run around shooting at them is weird to me.
3:21 Top 10 UNSC moments

This is the kind of stuff that I hope we can do on Forge without the need of mods.
343 recently said that they’re trying to get campaign AI working in forge. So, fingers crossed, we may be getting this sometime in the future.
@@deepfreeze1001maybe
We can now🎉🎉🎉
10:50 marnie of the right there.
this was great, if you wanna turn the tables have the elite ultra lead an attack on the first UNSC fob, the big base near the wrecked frigate that you start at.
Reenact a battle from a book we haven’t seen yet.
My god those snipers though…
Slow as heck reaction time.
2:03 nice kick marine
I thought the spartan would act a lot like the spartan ranked ai from training mode lol
Wish we have a mod or code for that
5:55 take the shot! Take the shot bro!
5:30 Now that's teamwork
TEAM WORK EVERYTHING IS BETTER WHEN WE HAVE TEAM WORK, DONT YOU THINK SO MY FRIEND??
It be cool if the Banished can attack the FOBS after we took them over again
2:48 the elite major was so scared he became a minor
😆
1:54 he launches the jackal with a grenade then disintegrates him midair. pog.

The Spartan was so busy kicking ass he forgot to take names
Subbed. I've been waiting for Halo Wars style NPC battles in this game, thanks for doing it
Really hope we’ll be able to do this on console soon. Don’t see myself being able to afford a pc that can run this game any time soon lol.
omg that halo wars 2 music at the beginning was perfect!!
This is some badass stuff man, I gotta keep coming back to see the new stuff you're up to and I love it
Female Marine: Im getting my ass kicked here!
*Spartan uses her as shield until she dies*
This is literally what happened 6 months ago with Griffin's team, glad to see models IV are not weak marines with shields like in halo 4
3:23 There's always that one idiot with the SPNKr....
At 2:01, I was itching for those Marines to shoot the rockets from up close lol
One day we’ll get the final battle between that deadly ultra and this badass Spartan
that sniper @3:50 jumped off the cliff in to battle like master chief from the halo 3 startup might trailer. Then immediately got wrecked lol
I mean, as much as I love the open ended aspect of things and having a lot of the things done by you, the Chief, some 'scripted' sequences where these things happen would be great to see, but then again that might not make sense since the story would shift from what it is now to something leaning more on a group effort since why wouldn't you be discussing things with a higher than normal ranked person such as a Spartan?...

yeah love the unsc

3:50 brave but foolish my sniper friend
I had no idea marines suffered from plasma weapons overheating like with that Ravager
That isn't a Spartan, I mean look at it! That's more of a reason to go kick it's ass.
5:30 sniper friendly fire?
I miss the covenant
6:18
This AI elite shouldn't even be in that base
I feel like you might've cut every time the spartan died
HALO INFINITE NPC WARS LESS GOOOOO
It'd be cool to somehow use the AI difficulty used in multiplayer training to the AI in campaign. That'd be awesome!
Wow your work is awesome 👌
Please keep making videos like this
I love it
If only the heatwave was actually that good
The UNSC may be losing zeta halo but well make them bleed for every inch
I am just floored by how much better Marine AI is in Infinite compared to any of the other Halo games. Anyone else get flashbacks to the monkey with guns that were the marines from the old days?
They really should have had both odsts and Spartans also as npcs
That shootout between the Spartan and the enforcer(banished name for majors) was great.
10:52 I've figured out who this Spartan is. It's the one... The only... CHIPPS DUBBO
love the music choice it reminds me of intense games where im dealing with unit production, upgrades, and microing units all at once
I thought 343 had spartan AI already defined for MP? I guess it cant be used here without heavy modding, would be useful to get the adaptive reactive parts (melee and general combat performance) and meld it with the campaign pathfinding.
I would love to be able to play along side marines in multiplayer. Just like the warzone gamemode from halo 5.
Hear me out chief ai
3:39 That was the worst throw ever... Of all time.
the spartan understood the assignment.
missed the old days when the marines can sit on the side of the scorpion. rip battle transport pvq
The ultra cloaking then dispatching a whole squad of marines, and the Spartan powering through the entire Covvie line are the most lore-accurate parts imo :)
To be honest i want a scarab fight
Ya know… i never thought to crouch right next to a jackel to avoid its firing. Ill try that
This was awesome! Love your content. 👍
Thanks so much!
@@NPCUniverse No thank you!
Alternate Title: Marines getting grilled by Banished Forces
Wow amazing fight. Npc battles are great
Was the NPC on spartan or odst or marine difficulty?
I don't know who this Spartan is, but she kicked some serious Banished ass
IVE BEEN WAITING THIS SINCE THIS SERIES CAME OUT! 🤩
Now do a re-enactment of the battle at the revere 😁
"Nice work, Chief!"
She says, after doing all the work herself
I’ve been waiting for this let’s gooooo
It’s so weird to see a MP Spartan in campaign
Need to see a AI powered Lazerback vs a Banished Based
A squad of 3 or 4 Spartans doing work and moving thru to an objective while wrecking shop along the way needs to happen!! Can we get the boys to drive a Razorback? Each Spartan could use a different Forerunner weapon.
The sniper with the high ground jumping down and getting clubbed shows how well the AI is programmed smfh..
First person halo wars 2
This just more and more makes me wish we had a firefight mode with Marine AI backing ups up. like either assaulting a base or defending one. I think that would be dope as hell. especially with friends
That gun he used was like a newer version of the scattershot
Have one with cat ears lead the way
"Banished are temporary, UNSC is eternal."

me and the boys storming the banished
Finally I was waiting
Wish they'd bring back spartan ops
This is what we should have seen in-game. This and more ODSTs and Spartans too. Imagine getting a drop pod scene from the Infinity before the ring teleported
Spartans don't go out quietly.
I told you the white elite was a good add he made the best play for the banished!!
I expected the Ultra to do well but I wasn't expecting the tactics it used.
a fire team of spartans would be lit
6:44 S I M P wahhh
All of the UNSC marine right there just a distraction to achieve a real objective.
*Is a bonus is some of them survive*
They better have this in forge
3:50 marine tries to to pull a master cheif from the game trailers.
Finally! The Spartan AI!
Such a missed opportunity for a Spartan Ops 2.0
“The unsc isn’t going down that easy. That one marine after she said that dies* that’s just sad bro”
The Spartans armor low key pretty nice
