    I really feel Halo Infinite would’ve been perfect for a Scarab fight. Wide open areas perfect for them. Sure the grapple might make it easy for bordering, but I feel if they went for the Banished version, it could make it harder to actually board. What if instead it involved fusion cores and grappling to slam the fusion cores into the middle piece centered in their back.

      Yeah, they would have made for some awesome roaming world-boss type enemies. And since Halo 2, every game except maybe Halo Reach has had some kinda boarding section. Halo 2 and 3 had Scarabs, 4 had the Lich, 5 had the Kraken. It was always cool and definitely one of the missed oppurtunities that irk me the most in Infinite.

    • @thecourier7964

    Hunters being worm-like aliens that make colonies that have their own personality might be my favorite thing about them. It doesn’t affect how much fun I have while fighting them, but it’s something that’s probably be fun for other people.

    • @calsalitra4689
      @calsalitra4689 ปีที่แล้ว +30

      It also gives them so much potential to be fleshed out that we haven't really been seeing.
      For example, how does their memory work? Their gestalts function as a giant brain, so what happens when that brain splits? Do their memories split evenly between them, or are they basically clones of each other? If they're clones of each other, how long does that memory last Could there be gestalts out there with memories of events centuries ago? What happens if a worm leaves a colony and is able to join a new one? Does that new gestalt gain a tiny bit of insight into the gestalt that worm originally came from? What if a larger Gestalt splits into several smaller colonies that don't have enough brain power to retain the memory of the original? Is that memory split between the Gestalts, is it lost forever, or can those memories be restored when the smaller Gestalts reform together? How smart can Gestalts even get? Mgalegkolo are smart already, but they're one of the smaller forms. How smart can larger Gestalts get?
      What happens when a Gestalt "dies" anyway? The Gestalt collapses when too many worms die, but does that shock kill the rest of the colony as well, or do the remaining worms survive and form a newer, smaller gestalt? Does that newer Gestalt lose all of the memories of the gestalt that came before it, or does it retain some of the memories of it's predecessor? How do the Lekgolo look at this? Do they treat it as a kind of "reincarnation" of the previous individual, or do they treat it as an entirely new individual? If the worms survive the death of their Gestalt, then what happens to every planet that the Lekgolo fought on? Since each Gestalt is a thriving community, even half of a Gestalt surviving can allow for quick reproduction, especially if every Mgalekgolo that died has its own "reincarnation". Does every planet the Lekgolo fought on have Lekgolo colonies now? What about the Glassed planets? Lekgolo should be able to survive underground, and they should be able to burrow down deep enough to avoid the heat, so do settlers on glassed colonies randomly deal with Lekgolo infestations when they start terraforming?
      How much potential do the Lekgolo have to morph into Gestalts? We know they can become bipeds and quadrupeds, but what else can they do? Could they operate an Arthropod form? What about a bird? In Halo Wars 2, Colony can drop caltrops filled with Lekgolo to use as barricades. If those caltrops were built with legs and guns, could the Lekgolo filling them become walking, shooting cover? What about a tank piloted by a Lekgolo gestalt? Could that Gestalt operate the secondary guns? Could that Gestalt counter the weakness of Wraith tanks by operating a gun on the back of the vehicle? What vehicles could they operate in space? Could they use a modified Scarab design to latch onto ships and burrow into them? If they carried a bomb, could such a vehicle singlehandedly destroy anything they burrow into?
      The list of things just keeps going. The Lekgolo are fascinating, but the traits that make them unique don't seem to have been explored in any significant depth. As far as I know, they're still just the big stompy things that shoot good.

    This tier list reminded me that I really miss the drones and the engineers. The drones were fun gameplay wise to me and I always liked how killing the engineers assists you gameplay-wise but morally you know it’s wrong because they’re slaves of the Covenant. If I’m getting really immersed, I kill them in Reach because Noble Team doesn’t know they’re slaves at that point in the timeline, but in ODST I avoid killing them as Rookie because he learns what they are through the audio logs. As for the other members of Alpha-Nine, I end up killing them because Buck references having killed at least a few. But if I’m just playing for the sake of playing the game rather than for the story, I never kill the Engineers
    Fuck it, I miss the Flood and Prometheans too. I really want a Halo game that has all of the enemies we’ve fought over the years. I was really happy to see the Sentinels again in Halo Infinite and I hope we get to see my buddy the Enforcer again.

    I feel like the AI on the Banished Hunters, and partially the Halo 5 Hunters, is fine because they're presented as greater mini-bosses rather than just regular enemies on the Sandbox. Because they're presented as tougher, you don't expect the classic dance to work so you're not frustrated when they don't cooperate with you, unlike the Infinite hunters which are just regular enemies used to punctuate an area like in Halo CE or 2.

      Right, but something I think is essential for a Halo enemy is whether or not theyre actually FAIR to fight. Its not a real war, its a game, and games MUST be fair. Halo Reach have too many attacks that are INSTAKILLS and dont even have an exagerated easy to read telegraphed attack animation. They can throw perfectly placed grenades faster than you, instantly kill you with one INSTANT hit or kick, radnomly detect you when youre sneaking, their health and shields both fully recharge faster than you and they can run wayy faster than you, which is a bitch because theyll often just randomly charge straight at you and instakill you with some bullshit. Theres also way too many elites of high ranks (On heroic and legendary). Previous halo games would have mostly minors, slightly less majors, a few ultras and zealots sprinkled here and there. Halo reach from heroic and higher is fcking STUFFED with ultras. sometimes youll just randomly have to fight like 5 ultras at once and its bullshit because not only does a full clip for most weapons not drain their shields, but they also instantly recharge. And i mean instantly. You can empty an ENTIRE clip of a dmr into an ultras head and still not pop their shields, then their shileds FULLY recharge before youve even finished reloading.
      Unlike Halo 1, 2, and infinite. Halo Reach Elites are completely unfair to fight and completely unfun to fight on heroic and legendary. Theres only one way to fight them really (Plasma pistol then headshot) and its totally unfair and unfun. Visually though, I COMPLETELY agree that Elites in halo Reach have the best animations in ANY Halo game and are SO cool looking. Im a playable elites guy, and holy shit they were and are to this day my favorite playable elites in any halo game. If they add playable elites to halo infinite later then im going to be so fcking pleased because Halo infinites elite designs are based on the early concept art for halo reach's elites.

The Halopedia and the new Halo Encyclopedia calls them an entirely separate species called "Gasgira" Harbinger is a Xalanyn. This is why I think the Endless is a multi-species faction. The only way the Banished would know that the Skimmers were a separate species (as they refer to Skimmers as their species name, Gasgira, in audio logs) must have been from the Harbinger telling them. Plus, there's also things like the Harbinger saying during her boss fight, *"Kill the Spartan! Earn a place among the Endless!"* to the Banished, and she can say to Chief *"I might have let you join us....but no more!"*

      Shield grunts aren’t nearly different enough in gameplay to warrant a different tiering. The shields are too weak to have a significant change in the way you fight them. Maybe extra melee, or a couple extra shots. But not much more. Stealth elites maybe, although they are also quite similar to normal elites, just harder to see and lacking shields. For the ranger elites, if you’re talking about the jet pack ranger elites then yeah I’d say those are different enough to give a different placement. Jackal marksmen no, they are essentially the same as a jackal sniper, just doing less damage and firing faster, making them more balanced. But overall filling the same role as a non shielded, long ranged jackal

He hearted my comments lamenting this way back in the day.
    I actually have a proposed visual design change for the Knights now that the Created AI's inhabit them, combine their current composed forms with their original Forerunner armor forms, like long, floating dress-armor type, make the secondary arms larger and more useful, and make their back more like a set of wings you can shoot off to ground them, and give them personalities in the form of whatever Created AI is piloting them!

    I think the grapple needs to be removed or nerfed for the next campaign. It makes boarding vehicles and potentially scarabs much too easy, and really traversing and killing enemies too. It destroys ambiance and atmosphere. I doubt 343 will do this, but it just feel so much more like a halo campaign. Boots on the ground, riding in on warthogs with marines.

      Last I checked the grapple doesn't work on either Phantoms or Pelicans so idk what made you think it would be enabled to use on Scarabs. You can't even grapple to a Hunters shield, it just won't stick
      You're acting like the grapple can just be used on everything when they literally have the ability to disable it from sticking to certain objects

    Amazing video man. It really brought me a new perspective on enemy design in halo. Although I do have a problem with the super obvious weak spot on the sentinals in halo infinite. I think it takes away from their aesthetic and I honestly prefer them having a damage type as their weakness.

    I personally really liked the Halo 5 style knights
    I feel like a mix of both would've worked better though
    Like if most of them were Halo 4 style, then Knight Commanders were the fortified version. Maybe have all of them glowing red like the warzone variant to distinguish them
    Other than that, largely agree with everything. I was really glad when you said you thought that Halo 2 brutes looked amazing but were awful to fight, because Halo 2 brutes are one of my least favorite aspects of Halo 2
    Solid list

    Feel like we need more Scarab/ enforcer sentinel Mini bosses. They add so much more flavor to the combat loop and just make for really great set pieces. I also want Halo 2 Scarab like encounters, where they aren't the level itself, but they serve as something REALLY challenging and can be approached in more ways than one (brute force, tactfully, leveling weak spots, etc) and yeah!

  • @loverofjesusMKII

    I think the Watchers would be much more fun if they just had the hitbox of a Sentinel and did'nt need headshots to kill in a reasonablr length of time. I love the idea of a support unit like them..
    Crawlers need to use walls anc ceilings more and the level design aught to lean into that.

    • @somehaloguy9372
      @somehaloguy9372 ปีที่แล้ว

      Halo 4 watchers had shields so headshots didn't do anything. Aside from that they actually have very low base health

    I believe the following games had the best version of each type of enemy.
    Reach - Elites
    Infinite - Brutes
    4 - Grunts/Hunters
    5 - Warden XD
    3 - Buggers/SCARAB (Really thought we were going to get a Banished SCARAB fight disappointed as it would have been perfect for the open world aspect)
    ODST - Brutes
    2 - Marines
    1 - Flood
    Jackles ALL Round but the snipes in 4 are the best love that version of the beam rifle too

      Why it's the same reason he put jackal snipers in the lowest tier, they were too hard on legendary and made the game less fun. He explains that quite clearly, not to mention he ranks 3 different styles of hunter, he ranks the ones from 2 to 4 in S tier literally because they were harder than the first game. So I really have no fucking idea what you're talking about, pay more attention maybe.
