      Might be cool. Unfortunately I highly doubt there will be any more spin-off Halo FPS games for a long while. Infinite is supposed to be THE Halo FPS game/platform for the next 8-10 years. No more numbered titles and no Halo Infinite sequel in 2 to 3 years like there used to be. They'll just keep adding onto & updating Halo Infinite via story DLC.
      It could potentially, and eventually happen via Infinite story DLC, which would be alright I guess. What has me worried right now is that this also means whatever Halo Infinite's multiplayer is, Halo multiplayer will be THAT for the next 10 years as well... or at least at it's core, anyway, with updates to game types, sandbox, and maps from time to time.
      That would be great and more than welcome if Halo Infinite's gameplay mechanics didn't look like very similar to Halo 5 (just neutered a bit in terms of toning down the ridiculous movement mechanics that made H5 so terrible). But who knows, perhaps multiplayer will actually be slightly different to the campaign that they showed off recently in terms of mechanics. They already said the grapple hook & drop wall items will be on-map pickup equipment like Halo 3 had, which is good news IMO. If the sprint, clamber, and "slide" mechanics are limited or even absent from certain playlists/playlist hoppers, Infinite's multiplayer may actually be really solid.

    Respect for Sergeant Marvin Mobuto. He made it so far when Spark recruited him to retrieve the Index, he was in sight of it, but then he was finally killed by the Flood. He wasn't a Spartan, or even an ODST, just a normal Marine who managed to make it to the top floor of the Library killing countless Flood before being killed himself. All that remained was a pile of flesh and his Dog Tags.
    To quote what Chief said upon finding this:

      If that is correct, then Chief shouldn't smell that much since he has the gel layer which regulates temperature which means sweat shouldn't form since there is no need to. But smell from external sources like say Flood, or blood guts and tears that got onto his body in some way...

      It's an example of a good novelization of a video game. It didn't just take the events and put them to the page, it focused on the events occurring DURING the game's events. I liked that it answered questions otherwise left unanswered by the game: where were the UNSC survivors based out of during the conflict on Installation 04? What were they doing while Chief was off on his missions? How did the Covenant view the humans and their efforts on the ring? What happened to the Autumn after it crashed and before the Maw? What happened during the Flood outbreak? What happened to the Truth and Reconciliation after we left it in Keyes?
      Halo: The Flood went above and beyond in answering those questions.

      It almost makes you wonder, if the humans ended up knowing about the flood, do you think they would have intentionally used it to exterminate the Covenant? The way I see it going down, they discover the flood and the rings abilities, and they decide to unleash the flood and order the ring to perform a slipspace jump into covenant territory (after studying it to acquire any and all knowledge it holds), they leave the defenses up and the Covenant take significant losses trying to board, then lose even more trying to capture it from the flood, then the humans, knowing about the arc and its ability to remotely detonate the rings, detonate 04 and wipe out the Covenant and the flood aboard it, in 1 fell swoop.

    Great great vid! I've honestly always had an issue with the story of fireteam Raven and how it fits in canon. If I had written it, I would have made the control room levels plot be that they are dispatched to help rescue fireteam Zulu hours after they split from the chief and then discover the flood in the control rooms region and have them support him from above so it doesn't break canon. The next change I would make is at the last level. I would have fireteam Raven escorting echo 419 and then fight from the air and after they survive the crash, hold off waves of flood until the ring explodes. Would have been a good opportunity for us to see foehammer.
