    With the recent reveal that Halo Infinite IS INDEED SET ON ZETA HALO, I figured there was no time better than the present to dive into the FULL history of Zeta Halo, the ring ONI refer to as 'The most mysterious Halo of all', Pre-Halo Infinite. Zeta Halo/Installation 07 is easily my favourite location in the entire Halo universe and I still can't quite believe we're getting a game set on it - AN OPEN WORLD GAME of all games. I can't put into words how excited that simple fact makes me lol.

    IT'S FINALLY HERE! Apologies for the one day delay, but given that it's 35 minutes of almost pure Flood/Precursor/Anicent Forerunner/Ancient Human/Mendicant Bias/Didact/Faber lore, it should be worth it ;)))) Next video coming either Sunday or Monday discussing the pros and cons of Halo Infinite being the last Halo game for at least 10 years, but for now, enjoy the lore!

      The flood history on this ring is deep. Imagine roaming around and then finding a portal. You go through and come out inside the library. Before it sinks in where you are, you hear gurgling, popping and oozing. Then you realize what's about to jump you. You go to pull a shoty but instead it's the BuLl dOg. Also wouldn't surprise if there's no flood.

      Yeahhhhhh. The story we got was mediocre at best. It's surprising how nothingburger it really was at the end of the day. Plus, it was the dullest open world design I've ever seen. Even Ubisoft open world games have lots of little things to do, and world details to immerse yourself in. Zeta Halo lacks so much of that life, let alone the kind of mystery that Elden Ring's world design has.

      I can't help feel that 343 is going to take it in a completely different direction and gloss over this incredible history. HiddenXperia and others like him should for sure be in the writers team because from looking at all the product results from 343 it doesn't seem they have much of the same enthusiasm for the depth and richness of the history and also the skills to craft a good story from it. Like how do you have this freaking universe in all its epicness and come up with something like halo 4 and 5's story? I don't know but I just hope this game proves me wrong.

    26:28; "In a hundred and one thousand..." Since the Primordial said that at around 97,700 BC that would mean his prediction/threat would occur at around 3300 AD or about 739 years after Halo Infinite. So even if we fight and 'defeat' the Flood on Zeta Halo in Halo Infinite; the clock is ticking down for final battle of this more than 100,000 year long war that determines the fate of whether the Milky Way Galaxy, if not the Universe, will belong either to the Flood or Humanity.

    None of this was in the game, although there are some parallels that are probably not accidents, and a hint that some of it could be touched upon in the future in the final cutscene.. Still, even though the game absolutely doesn’t line up with the expectations this video might give, I thought it was a really really solid story in its own merit.

      Garrett Tekampe I mean, this franchise was created as a gaming franchise. During the Bungie years, you didn’t need the extra lore (books, comics, waypoints) to understand where you were, why you were there, and what you were doing. The extra lore definitely expanded the story told in the games, and there were references to it, especially in the later games, but if you create a game based solely in a location mentioned only in expanded lore with such detailed history, you have to realize that you’re alienating a MASSIVE part of your target audience.
      I loved Halo. Couldn’t get enough of it. Even enough to read the books. But when I get played Halo 4, to me it was hollow. So much of the plot and story just seemed to be glossed over. Remember playing 3 games fighting as an underdog against the Covenant, to finally see their capital world and center of government, their ruling class and majority of their might and power destroyed because they decided to cast out the elites and attempted to completely wipe them out? Well now the elites are back with the covenant now. The covenant that wasn’t defeated and scattered. And they’re attacking humans again. BTW, where is the arbiter? What happened to those elites? Who tf is this space wizard that can seemingly melt walls and use the force to throw chief around like a rag doll? Yes, all of these questions are answered, but definitely not in game. IMO, that is a horrible way to tell a story. Halo 5 is just as bad, and I can’t say that I’m excited to have to do all this research just to understand what’s going on in this new game.

      Looks like your prediction came true. Infinite was nowhere near the incredible story told in this video alone. After playing I don't think literally anything mentioned the history of humans on the ring or mendicant bias, and don't even get me started on the endless. It was a shotty story at best.

      @@LyonHeartMusic yeah it is very sad. I wanted this mendicant bias story since halo 3. And they even mentioned offensive bias in the legendary ending for infinite, not it's like they just can't get anything done and they only commit to dissipating narratives that no one really wants. Something akin to star wars not telling the post return of the Jedi story we wanted to see, but trying to come up with their own new product that is as empty as it could possibly be.

      I mean, it's entirely possible they won't be in the game. But with all the lore surrounding them on Zeta Halo it would be weird if they weren't. I mean this is going to be the first game in a while set on an actual Halo (I know 5 had one, I think...). But since the parasite can't actually die it seems highly likely that they'd still be there somewhere.

      And then you guys started searching around and then started talking about memes and stuff but then one of your friends, the quiet one said "Dude you hear that!" *flood sounds* just picture halo combat evolve first flood mission in the cutscene with captain Keyes and Johnson and some other soldiers.

    So if "human and ALLIED forces are continuing remediation efforts," does that mean we might see the Swords of Sanghellios in Infinife on Zeta? A plot line based around Arbiter convincing the Banished Elites to cast the Banished aside and rejoin their home clans would be amazing and would actually be a decent blow to the Banished.

    I'm waiting for a game or campaign where humans and allies work together en-masse as part of actual gameplay. Imagine Chief running around with a squad of Marines, Grunts, and Elites all working together, or grunts and elites working as UNSC officers.

Wasn't given enough time on that majestic creation, just like when you do the warthog run on the installation 04b, but don't get enough time to look up in awe at The Ark because time is a wasting 😢
