While fans of Halo Wars 2 or readers of the series' novels may recognize the mercenaries, many Halo fans who have only played the mainline games are curious as to who exactly the Banished are as well as how they fit into the larger Halo universe. The trailer also gave fans a look at the new enemy faction the Banished, who will be serving as the main antagonists of the game and the next big obstacle in Master Chief's path. The new campaign overview for Halo Infinite has instead been met with a lot of positivity from fans and new players alike, as many noticed the improvements to the game's visuals as well as its refreshing new take on Halo's combat due to a more open level structure. The developers at 343 Industries acknowledged this criticism, and have waited until now to show the changes that were made in response to the received feedback.
Halo Infinite first gave fans a look at its campaign more than a year ago, where it was met with some negativity in regards to its visuals.
Halo Infinite is finally nearing release, and players have been dissecting every peek and moment of multiplayer gameplay that has appeared online while waiting for another look at the game's new campaign.
