Still not over just how incredible Offensive Bias looks... The Halo 3 Guardian Sentinel design looks absolutely incredible, peak Forerunner aesthetic to me

[Installation]

Thanks for the shout out bud. Awesome video, the possibilities for future storylines is beyond immense! So excited for the future.

[LordtoRevenge]

Since they're going through the effort to create these new flood forms and canonize them, that surely means that they are planning to do something with them. Right?

[_Eric._]

If the endless are connected to the precursors, I'd like to think they may be some kind offspring of the precursors and the medlers are a group or maybe just an individual endless who managed to avoid forerunner prosecution.
Apparently I spoke too soon, this is in the video lol

[volrogue]

Clicked faster than one single flood spore could destroy an entire species

[orangesoda]

Guessing the Gaunt is the Flood form we saw in the awakening the nightmare cinematic, rolling and jumping around, lassoing the brutes

[sgtspoon]

The best thing about the endless atm is the mystery behind them. Being able to theory craft around something so illusive is my favourite part of that mystery and to be able to do it again and again while it still being interesting is so good. Man I can't wait to see what the campaign dlc will turn out to be and where it takes the master chief next

[GPsarakis]

You got love the feeling you get as a fan when something in the newest game links perfectly back to a game from 20 or so years ago. The offensive bias link between Infinite and Halo 3 makes me even more excited for future story DLC.

[neilshewmaker]

I think it’s possible that renaming the Precursors as the Endless or Xalanyn solves a problem introduced in Halo 4, that the Forerunners called themselves Forerunners. Which is just silly since they were not the Forerunners of themselves, so the Xalanyn or Endless might be the Precursors’ name for themselves.

[VNM-Venom]

I predict the endless are a lesser form of precursor since chief was able to defeat harbinger.

[brendang]

Who remembers the 3 red lights reflecting off of Chief's visor in the Halo Infinite trailers, that was never seen in the base game? With the new pictures of Offensive and Medicant Bias, this confirms that when we see this, it is NOT Offensive Bias.
This means it's either a new AI, or it is Medicant Bias.
... Or it's just cut content that will never see the light of day.

[darkslayer]

Cool to know the Flood has their own ODSTs or in the floods case


Orbital drop shock forms ODSF

[flamewarden]

I have an idea, we know what happens when Precursor dust malfunctions, you get the flood, but what happens when you it works correctly? Do you perhaps get an *endless* species?

[Lamp]

As a fellow elite lover, the new floodlight update has added friendly elites. So now you can fight endless waves of flood while fighting alongside elites. They will respawn every time you reach a new round.

[AzzyReal]

I think that my favorite thing about Offensive Bias' design is that you can clearly tell it was inspired by biblical angels. From the singular central eye, the myriad "wings" projecting from its back and the "vestments" hanging off it, it reminds me very much of interpretations of Thrones (those big eye angels with the wheels spinning around them) And considering the mythology of the Forerunners, both Bias role in it and the Judeau Christian analogs that was heavily present in Bungies interpretation of the Lore, I find it extremely appropriate.

[dumbbest]

This was a great way to make use of the old Guardian sentinel design

[vulcan]

Nice to see you excited about something halo related again :)

[onenationarmy]

I believe that we've actually already seen the gaunt in action during the first awakening the nightmare flood cut scene. We see it rolling around and strangling brutes . Glad we finally have a name to it.

[DiamondDuk]

The Halo Encyclopedia has confirmed our deepest hopes.

[TheManOnTheStreetOMG]

An epitaph is quite literally the wording on a tombstone as well, I'm with you, Offensive Bias' design being based on that hologram pretty much confirms that as Mendicant's burial site.
