This what I wanted to see in Infinite whenever you fast travel to a fob to have some banished encounters to spice up the open world immersion and there's a chance you can recapture those fobs adding some flavor to them instead of a safe zone/travel point on the tacmap

Man, the ODST soundtrack really kicked ass. Totally suits this game too. I hope we hear this particular tune in the future DLC’s

8:23 that dodge, though

I love these marines vs “x” videos. I feel like I’m getting to see parts of the 6 months chief slept through

3:22 Holy shit, that marine just gave that brute a taste of his own medicine!

At 3:22, it looks like he didn't have to worry about his armor for long.

1:00 that grenade, sniper combo

At 2:34 a random brute says he can't kill everyone then immediately dies

They had only two sticks and a rock.

8:23 that was a clean dodge

These battles are phenomenal! Everything that I'd love to see more of in Halo. These Marines are incredibly competent, you can't get enough of seeing them gun down droves of Banished

8:55 marine was like : uhhhhhhhhh

"THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!" Never thought I'd hear an elite say that about fighting UNSC troops.

I've never seen a brute throw a suicide grunt before 1:37

I would love to see more large scale battles in this game,whit scaracrabs and tanks. Nice video as aways .

7:38 he was runnin

One thing I’d love to see for Marine AI in the future is target prioritization, marines with precision weapons will target enemies with their shields down, power weapon marines targeting vehicles and high ranking banished, etc. it’d really make them a force to be reckoned with (but maybe too powerful)

These Marines AI are better from Halo Reach Trooper, they're smarter and funnier

I wish you could sometimes get a notification that a FOB is under attack and you will have to fast travel to it, drop out of the pelican, and into the fight to save it.

1:36 I’ve never seen a Brute throw a suicide Grunt at a target … that was hilarious

0:18 Perfect timing

8:04 I like how the marines jumped and landed on the same position and the same spot with that dead brute(He tried taking cover too didn't work out to well for him)

8:52 "You may have won but can you pull this trick?"

That marine at 5:36 could kill Atriox in a second!

If I learned anything from the Halo Infinite Campaign, it's that a Razorback full of Marines with Arcane Sentinel beams don't mess around! In fact, these Marines don't mess around period!

3:29 the timing of those soldiers is admirable

Anyone see that marine jump like 10 feet high 2:54

The thing I notice about these battles is just how much more aggressive, varied, and intense the combat is here compared to something like Halo 3 matchups. The Elites have agility, the brutes have.... Brutality and melee, and Jackals have shields to make slow or static advances (Grunts just book it). Marines all know the range they can engage and do so accordingly, actually knowing when to nade and dodge one too. The armor decay, sound/visual effects, and reactions to things like getting melee'd or killed makes the battle that much more alive and desperate! However, stuff like Halo 3 still hold the upper hand of the ability for both sides to operate vehicles and the blood splatter that occurs from taking so many hits. But the issue of "same moves different appearance" between Halo 3 Brutes and Elites, and Halo 3 Human AI, really detracts from the infantry experience compared to here where each class knows has their quirk and strategy~

2:53 Marine beside that ramp be like "I have to go now, my people need me" Well.. no wonder they're a marine because they need you right now.. right there >->

These marines just don't want to die.

Shotgun marines and sniper marines is still something very OP

The AIs in halo infinite are by far the smartest because they coordinated attacks, automatically pick up weapons that’s more effective, and if a grunt tries suicide mode a brute instantly pushes them for a slingshot tactic

3:22 very good kick soldier he deserves a medal marines are not weak

This should be in the real game.

Marines need to use cover, other than that they kicked ass and this was an amazing vid

The realism in this spot on 10\10

Damn imagine a battle simulator strategy type game with AI like this, would be so sick.

Love seeing Marines kick ass in Halo. Guys don't get enough love in-verse.

Next in halo should be some kind of hybrid between halo wars and infinite. For the objective to be to capture and hold territory making use of whatever reinforcements the spirit of fire can spare, kind of like Assassins creed odyssey and its war between sparta and athens. And yes the spirit of fire should reinforce the chief cause its the only ship in the fleet with enough balls to accompany him on this new lawless galaxy

This guy is making halo wars 3 for us 🙏🙏

I like npc wars when it comes to the unsc defending their bases

This makes me wish there was a tower defence kinda system where you'd need to defend your FOBs or lose it and have to capture it again. Maybe have banished captain's lead an assault on your FOB.

The two marines asskicking that one brute by the bridge with two elites jus staring bewaffled in the background🤣 also that dude ontop of base who picked up his lady comrades sniper and fricking no scoped the brute walking up the ramp 👌 all the while Craig sits upon the tower and vibing to his newly recorded music tracks in his newly found headset, watching the havoc in the distance 🤟😎

Seeing all of these makes me REALLY question how the UNSC lost the ground war on Zeta Halo. The Marines were kicking ass from start to finish.

3:22 impressive for normal unsc marines

So we’re all just gonna ignore the marine at 2:53? The one who doesn’t know what gravity is?

That headshot 3:14🔥🔥

I'm glad to see the Marines are finally getting some love! I think it's okay to make them more powerful because we have to remember they don't have as much health as a ODST or Spartan.

Well done man the battle is solid and the music 🔥🔥best npc battle in infinite

Man, we need some ODST'S in a future expansion please. Also that 9ft brute who got melee'd by that marine LOL And that last elite did like 5 back flips or something

This makes me want to see Spartans and odst fight along side you in infinite. It’s been to long since we’ve had odst and I really hope they’re added because they’ve been teased multiple times

3:21 not my armor!

Actually had some ideas to further expand on this type of gameplay. Like upgrading FOB's to have defenses to set up like manned turrets, barricades, auto turrets. Banished having their own styled FOB's, Marine and Banished constantly patrolling throughout the map. FOB's coming under random attacks from patrols and getting alerts of an incoming attack from enemy units (and vice versa for UNSC forces to either see a UNSC patrol stumble on a Banished FOB or sending units to a specific FOB). If you're out in the field, you can call in reinforcements, supply drops, air strikes, vehicle drop offs (warthog/tank, etc), air support. For a DLC, if another UNSC ship were to come into orbit, you can call in MAC strikes or ODST reinforcements. Enemy units depending on their regions/biomes could adapt to their surroundings. Say like both sides are in a snowy environment, UNSC would have white armor, Banished brutes would have something like white fur pelts and jackets, elites would have white armors. In a jungle or swamp biome, UNSC could have woodland Cammie's and Banished would wear like a netting of some sorts with mud, and tree bark, and grass formed into a hood/ghillie suit. In desert setting, UNSC would have desert Cammie's, and Banished have vehicles and equipment that looks like they came out of a mad max movie. Some ideas I just thought of to play around with.

4:10 it was a peaceful day until the banished nation attacked

What if the High Value Targets led attacks on your FOBs if you didn't kill them after a certain point in the game. Or even if the HVTs showed up as bosses in the campaign, like in the House of Reckoning, if you didn't kill them before that point.

these are awesome. Just imagine a large scale mode that acts like planet side 2 or something on the campaign map with bots and the like. that'd be dope.

There's no greater insult when an enemy team in a PVP game tells that your team fight like NPCs, lmao.

Another day appreciating how awesome Halo Infinite is. :3 The usual. we need NPCs on the next forge. Pitting them to fight on is so much fun.

"I call that a WIN!" I call that A SPIN! Did you see that Elite do 3 slow backflips? LOL

If you still are doing various vs. battles, you could always do Halo Wars themed battles of squads and units comps of that game. Ex. 2 Marine Squads vs. Banished snipers, Wraith, and an infantry squad.

I know it won't be easy and it will take a long time. But I'm hopeful they can improve the marines that they will also use the sandbags as cover while shooting

one of my favorites so far, nice job

Refuse to play halo infinite multiplayer but this looks a lot more fun :)

Oooh this song is banging love the ODST theme song over the footage another great video 👏

Imagine the flood in this setting. I hope the endless match

It's great that halo marines can now actually hold their own instead of just being set pieces to get steamrolled.

Do more marine vs banished please

who ever played that guitar in the beggining is the goat

1:38 makes me sad I’ve replayed the story 4 times now and not once has a brute thrown a grunt at me

3:20 and 8:20 were some big brain marines

-That sniper rifle does work. -yes because I may not be able to accurately throw this grenade, but I can definitely throw a grunt holding 2 grenades accurately. - are there odst in this npc sandbox?

Really hope we get ODST’s in infinite eventually

This i my fav halo infinite Npc wars

4:05 Me: "well done everyone, no doubt they'll be back in a couple of hours. Catch your breathe, tend to the wounded, and scavenge the area for weapons and ammo.

The marines in halo infinite are my favorite from any marines we’ve ever seen. They’re funny, have cool looking armour, and are way smarter. That line of jackals was pretty scary too. Great job man 👍

"Just another day in paradise."

I think this may be my all time favorite design for the Marines in Halo.

you know, I wonder why 343 seems to have something against making marine battle armor that doesn't look like pajamas from a distance.

Halo Wars 3 is looking amazing

I wasn’t lying when I said the marines a little overpower in groups with the right guns like the bulldog and the commando and the sniper

Ok imagine Republic Commando, but with UNSC marines

Now THIS is a battle

i really wish theyd give brutes more health it feels to weird dropping them in a few body shots of the AR.

1:37 he YEET that suicide Grunt

Music is very nostalgic

8:23 what a dodge

The grunt with the super jum0

After fighting for so long against the covenant, marines can now hurt brutes with their own brute strength lmao

The marines kicked ass.

0:09 love this music it's from halo 3 odst

*saw grunt fly with plasma grenades* Great they fly now lol 😂

Do the marines just respawn

The marines look so goofy when they run😂

Did that brute just YEET a suicidal grunt? LMAO

I had no idea brutes could throw suicide bomber grunts at the enemy

yep these marine is to OP. One kick to lose Banished Armor

8:53 you spin me right round!

8:56 rewatching this, I realize that elite's corpse was floating

The unsc in infinite are pretty damn tough compared to other halo games.

put the marines in a razor back, that'll be an easy win
