I think they could have come up with a more believable situation to destroy the Infinity, but Halo's not always blessed with great writing. You and I know the Infinity being casually destroyed is a big stretch, but the story isn't interesting if humanity is never pressured due to their supership casually destroying everything in its path and having all sorts of support ready & waiting.
#HALO INFINITE LEGENDARY ENDING SERIES#
My long winding point here is that the series wrote itself into a corner and they're trying to 'fix' it. What is Cortana humming at the end of Halo 5 At the end when you see the new Halo ring you hear. It’s difficult to play on Legendary, especially throughout the game’s several boss encounters. Simply complete the game on the Legendary difficulty. However, this is much easier said than done. The Legendary ending in Halo Infinite will unlock the same way it is in any previous Halo game. except now they're called The Banished and have angrier colors. Halo Infinite does have a Legendary ending, and you unlock it as you would in any other Halo game: Simply complete the game on the Legendary difficulty. The UNSC superweapon (the Infinity) is gone, they're stuck on a Halo ring with a destroyed ship, lots of mysterious shenanigans, and we're still fighting The Covenant.
Halo infinite is basically rebooting the series back to what it was at the start of H:CE. so they literally pulled Atriox and The Banished from nowhere. The first game got away with the Covenant, the second took place after H3 and the dissolution of The Covenant. They were making an RTS game and needed a faction. The Banished were an asspull from day #1. Narratively they're firmly established to be too powerful. You might as well be comparing tribal cultures with stone tools to the modern USA military. In anything but infinitesimally small numbers they don't work as antagonists well, their civilization was one of the most powerful in the history of written fiction. The Forerunners are far too high level sci-fi to make a good/relatable enemy that appeals to a broad audience that Halo markets itself to. In the beginning of Marathon a cyborg boards the UESC Marathon (the hollowed out remains of Mar's moon Phobos) during an alien invasion.
The Covenant (and Flood) were dealt with by the end of the original trilogy, only remnants remain so there's no stakes in that threat ever resurfacing. My personal belief is that Bungie originally wanted Halo 3's ending to hook up with the beginning of their earlier first person shooter, Marathon. With the many lingering mysteries of the Forerunners always looming in the background. SPOILER ALERT: After beating the game on legendary difficulty, there will be a bonus cutscene after the credits Facebook. Outgunned and overmatched by superior numbers & firepower, only succeeding through wits, heroics, and the sacrifice of the few to save the many.
Halo was founded on the premise of humanity fighting to survive as the underdogs. What you have to understand is that the writers wrote themselves into a corner as the years went on.
