I love seeing the AI respond to eachother in both voice lines and their actions. Combined with the new animation work, the Covenant characters are easily the best they've ever been in Infinite.
So true
I missed when they were called the covenant, "the Banished" doesn't have the same feeling
@@EshockerD The Covenant has been gone since Halo 3.
@@Vex-VII Oh I know they ended it and try to keep it alive throughout 4 and 5, doesn't mean I have to like it Obama.
@@EshockerD I like the banished better tbh
I wanna see the skirmishers versus the jackals, feel like that would be more interesting
Is it true that skirmishers are female?
@@LusoiHardware i think so
Yes
@@LusoiHardware all skirmishers are female
@@thatscrazy3554 Only in Infinite.
I love how the Skirmishers operate. They almost act like more defensive and agile Elites in a way, dodging, running for cover, and forcing the enemy into an awkward position where she can take on one at a time. At least, in this case. Skirmishers she as hell aren’t very powerful, but they’re definitely good at their Hit and Run style of combat, which genuinely does make them feel fresh and not redundant to add to the sandbox.
Also, Grunt Ultra’s with energy shields are so cool. I know I’m probably digging too much into it, but that’s one of those things that feels like it distinguishes the Banished from the Covenant. The Covenant would never have spared the resources to give shields to lowly Unggoy, no matter how genuinely capable they may have been. But the Banished would. Not only because of their stance of species equality, but also because any time a human spends focused on a shielded grunt, or surprised by the fact they didn’t one shot the lil guys, is another moment lended to the Banished and taken from their prey.
@@sylvasilva2851 Grunts are still not treated very well by the Banished, at least according to some of the lore. But yes, in Halo Infinite the grunts seem to be treated better than they were by the Covenant.
Ironically I find skirmishers to be easy target for my br as they maneuver as much they can out of my sightline as back to my sight line.
When you realise the skirmishers are just female jackals.
@@tammiestait5465 Only in this game, not Reach.
Its so cool to see shielded grunts with a powerful sidearm like the disruptor.
It'd be cool if they used the sidekick
I just wish the disruptor had more of a visual indication. Half the time I can't even tell what's shooting at me and then I'm slowly being electrified to death once I finally find cover.
With the Thunderstorm skull on almost all grunts are the shielded ones, makes them harder to take on than some brutes
Be a cool way to reintroduce the magnum into Infinite. Banished Grunts headshotting you from 100 yards away
This vid makes you realize how the different grunt rankings actually have their own different weapons and stats. :D
It’s be cool to see one of each enemy and their variants - broken up into teams in accordance to their species.
The Skimmers have three variants. The Sentinels have three variants. The Grunts have roughly six variants. The Jackals have five variants. The Elites have five variants. The Hunters have two variants. And I believe the Brutes have well over nine variants if you count shielded variants.
All of these - in teams - against one another.
Yes, all of this.
Actually skimmers have 3 variants. A bright crimson one with a rocket launcher, an ultra and the standard ones.
@@skullerton9858 The Crimson one was a HVT, I believe.
@@AlbertusSalvatierra oh no, I've definitely encountered them as standard enemies. I think the HVT was the same purpleish-red color as most of the banished HVTs.
@@skullerton9858 That’s honestly really cool! Now I’ve gotta see this 😂
I feel this would've gone in the poor Unggoy's favor more often if heavy weapon grunts were still a thing in Infinite
Mule grunts can wield a skewer
@Texel76 yes, i have seen them more times in the open world than on missions or sidemissions, idk why but they miss 2/3 shots
Glory and Riches to T'vao!
I’ve never seen a grunt mule use the skewer, only Cary them on their backs, the only weapons I’ve seen them use are the plasma pistols and disrupters.
At 0:46 you can see the grunt's footprints .... I'm loving the attention to detail in this game!
I'm starting to notice that grunts ignore cover when advancing. I think they're programmed to use themselves as bait to get the player out into the open if the player wants the melee kill, which is all the more punishing in SLASO with the Black Eye Skull on. Even though there's no dogma in The Banished that forces them to be cannon fodder like in The Covenant, they're still prone to silly mistakes like that for the most part. I love how a lone Skirmisher will get hungry for the lion's share of the Chief's bounty and thus throw herself forward to try and make a quick kill by herself sometimes. I wonder how the AI behaviors would change if the developers designed them to fight targets other than humans.
Why are you referring to a Skirmisher as 'her'?
Because I like that you do that. Skirmisher Kig'yar are most definitely female and live in a matriarchal society. Would be nice if a few more people knew this!
@@rhysthomas2876 They clearly have female voices in Halo Infinite making them objectively girls. I wish more people paid enough attention to notice like us.
@@Fourger14 yeah and normal jackals (the ones with shield gauntlets) are male.
I appreciate how agile the skirmishers are. When I saw they were being brought back I thought they'd be basically unshielded jackals, but that's not the case. In the grunts vs jackals video, grunts won rounds they normally wouldn't because they had grenades. But in this fight, the grenades did barely any good for them.
This is the best rendition of halo enemies the franchise has ever seen, as it should be.
Bro, Skirmishers on Heroic were actually pretty deadly, they’d side step my shots and then Mag dump me with their needlers it was nuts
The grunts always sound of of breathe when they walk towards you 😂😂
I'd be too if i had to haul a propane tank bolted to my back
@@armintor2826 word lol
God I love the Grunts in this game
The Jackal Skirmisher
continue to remain pretty cool.
I love how the Skirmishers are females. (First found that out in conversations) Especially the boss, since it says she is a naval officer and in halo lore only females can become naval officers.
It’s really neat that they paid good attention to their own lore, which I know sounds dumb, but sometimes games tend to sort of toss that stuff to the side. It’s especially interesting that the Skirmishers speak much more fluidly than their male counterparts, showing that they are just that much smarter.
Not! The skirmishers weren't supposed to be female jackals! This contradicts the lore in which they are a separate race from the satellite of Ein. Their entire lore before that was built on the fact that it is a separate race. A race that considers itself the highest among the Kig Yar and organizes raids on the Ruutians and Ibishans. The skirmishers' characters have already been tweaked to fit this lore, like Chol Von and her squad of 13 T'vaoans.Female jackals and skirmishers should also look different. Jackals have no needles on their necks, instead of them there are calloused plates due to the peculiarities of the courtship of jackals. In female skirmishers, it is not a mane that covers the entire neck, but a ridge extending from the forehead to the back. This is described in the halo encyclopedia. And now the skirmishers have been broken, even their faces have been made non-canonical.
@@Malachite_Hare Skirmisher has been turned into a rank/title for the two Kig-Yar subspecies, Ruuhtians and T'vaoans. The Covenant used almost only the T'vaoans in the Skirmisher role. But the Banished use both Ruuhtians and T'vaoans, though in Infinite, only female Ruuhtians are seen.
@@a_sos_type-46_isv Also, those feathers are definitely fake as actual female Ruuhtians don't have feathers, only thicker scales in the places where feathers are on the males.
It's because Kig-Yar and Unggoy are largely matriarchal societies.
Jackals fight like a classical army. The frontliners have shields and box the enemy in. The skirmishers flank the sides. And the snipers are just really advanced archers.
Grunt ultra with shields seems like the only way the grunts can compete
I remember when their helmets used to actually do something in Reach. I guess the Banished got the downgraded plastic helmet version or something
That should have been a thing for ultras and mules, not being able to be headshot from any weapon.
Yo Cheat, I was wondering if we could see myriad vs chieftain ultras?
My childhood is uploading regularly
I absolutely love the grunts' voice lines.
Theory: since all the skirmishers have more female voices and only one rank that seems to use high ranking armor, they could be the matriarchs of the Banished's jackals.
Jackals are ruled by matriarchy so it makes sense that their best warriors are female.
does the skirmishers shields seem to block a lot less than in reach to anyone else? It feels like they need to be like 20% bigger.
The problem is in Reach the ones with shields couldn't flinch from attacks and any time they were damaged they'd raise their arm over their head to block headshots. Plus the fact that they used weapons 1 handed in Reach and could use Needle Rifles and stuff
@@somehaloguy9372 Ah. That explains it. In reach it felt like I had to be deliberate to kill them, in Infinite I keep killing them on "accident". I keep getting "Oh, she's dead...=/" moments.
@@somehaloguy9372 What? Skirmishers use Needle Rifles and focus Rifles in Reach. There’s even Needle Rifle Murmillos.
It’s infinite where they use 2 hands to only use Needlers and Manglers whole not using their shields to block their head.
They still work pretty well. It’s quite annoying when I’m trying to grapple one.
It’s possible that this is also to balance the fact that ALL skirmishers in this game has shields
@@tylerellis9097 yeah thats what I meant
Grunts are just to cute when they run with their exhausted breathing noises lol
By the 12 minute mark everything becomes so chaotic that it's hard to track them all and that's truly impressive. These battles are so fun to watch I could do it all day long. By the way is anyone keeping track of the score? I was cheering for the grunts but I'm pretty sure the jackals pulled out a victory. The last battle was a total route.
Halo has one of the best AI in gaming. They not only try to chase you, they make strategies to take you down. The Division 2 also has a well made AI.
I not only like that the Skirmishers get to speak after coming back from Reach, but also like how they talk and what they say ☺
That grunt at 11:17 managed to kill himself, another grunt, and almost a third one
It’s official…. Grunts are storm troopers with voices .
I’ve missed this it’s been so long I remember seeing the halo 3 battles way back… nostalgia
Not an all too unlikely battle considering the beef between grunts and jackals.
You have no Idea How greatful I am to have the skirmishers back
We want to see a halo 2 schism
We do ^
Separatists would stomp no competition
No one really talks about where the hell has the skirmishers been
These aren’t T’vaoans so they’re still missing lol
I will love to see a few marines with good weapons against crazy matches
3:25 I love grunt shit talk
MURDERED! ehahahaHAH!
Watching the larger battles as the skirmishes pill back and fire from cover on the exposed grunts, only to then sweep in for the surround on those left tickles my brain
Would like to see skirmishers vs normal jackals
2:49 that scream 💀💀
Finalmente vou poder maratonar os videos de halo infinite.
🇧🇷
Love the map you chose fits perfectly for small to medium scaled and maybe larger scaled battles
This is the format I want to see. Everytime one side is defeated another teammate is added. Would also be cool to see the different ranks of troops vs each other. Like orange grunts vs red grunts, black vs white, etc, etc.
this turned out to be the most fun one so far. More Grunt on Jackal action please!
i'm just here for the voice lines
Bosses vs HVT's
Skirmishers are the more effective killer but watching this in groups they don't seem that effective. Like there was a part where they should've won against the pack of grunts but the grunts are better as a team, granted they will still panic but if they can get a kill there usually more confident. They actually hunted down the skirmishers a couple of times.
There was skirmisher that dived right into the pack of grunts while the others skirmishers did their own thing, and the grunts lit up that skirmisher. With that said the skirmishers still won that round because their the more effective warrior but too me it looks like there the assassin type. Run in get the kill , get in cover, then bounce their not really canon fodder like the grunts are.
The Grunt Rebellion 2: *The Wrath and Return of Yap Yap the Destroyer*
Kig-Yar supreme! ❤
Do skirmishers vs elites
Skimmers vs Sentinels. If the weird noises don’t drive you crazy.
The grunt scream @2:50 Lmfaooo 😂😂😂
" stupid jackle say thank you" really started a war
Skirmishers are lightly-built Jackal, but they’re very agile.
Actually these are normal jackals their just females with special training. Actual skirmishers as in the species are a flat out physically superior to other jackal species.
@@djcuevas1057 It’s great that they paid attention to their own lore
Nah just female Jackals. Actual T’vaoans are stronger than Kig Yar
@@djcuevas1057 so the ones from reach are skirmishers?
@@abnormallylargemonkey9334 skirmishers are both a species and a combat role. The skirmishers in infinite are normal jackals trained as skirmishers which is a highly honored position that would explain why the females took it for themselves given kig yar society is matriarchal. In Reach, they are the skirmisher's subspecies which is what inspired the combat role.
ultra grunts are miniature elites, having elits or grunts in the campaign as allies would be great
Mangler Skirmishers going in!
i wish someone would make a video going over Halo's ai and the small stories they tell in gameplay
We need to get a DLC where YAP YAP THE DESTROYER becomes more canon and starts a grunt rebellion against atriox
I'm very glad they brought back the Skirmishers for Halo Infinite. 😁🥰
dude no lie it feels like a war hammer 40k but more like a 5k battle going on, pretty cool lol
ATM these vids are the only thing I find enjoyable about infinite
Skirmishes are a pain in the ass normally
One thing I wanted in infinite was the skirmishers and I got that but the flood would also be awesome
The ai in halo infinite is so dynamic!
the skrimisher AI i just... goreous!
Never realized that's the Eld on the floor
Ngl if this campaign area was made into a mp map it would be pretty good for king of the hill.
Full on battle by the ages. During the covenant days. Grunts tries to gobble up jackal eggs and jackals retaliated by trying to steriluze them by poisoning their water/ breeding grounds on Hugh charity. Also those are female ruuthian skirmishers not tovoan skirmishers from Halo Reach. The ruuthian females are honoring them while the tovoans are breeding up thrir numbers
Imagine my surprise when I saw Skirmishers return.
6:51 that was cute
"Ow, my skin!"
Anybody else find the shields on their arms to be completely useless? I feel like anytime when something aims for their head in their FOV they cover it with the shield (I think they did this in Reach but idk) But when you shoot them in the leg or some other vulnerable spot it then stuns & stops them from covering a 1 shot kill. Like the jackals with their hands
The shields still kind of work. I have had my shots annoyingly blocked a lot. Plus, the shields make the Skirmishers look badass
Their shields may be small but can still block grapple hook
I know that is a completely irrelevant sidenote to the whole video, but can we just appreciate that every entity leaves their own little footprints on the ground?
Space goblins vs Space Kobolds
I'm glad they brought back the Skirmishers after Reach, they are a interesting type of enemies and before Infinite they were the only enemies that are new in the Covenant in Reach.
Reach is to this day still the only Halo game to feature every Covenant enemy species in 1 game. Grunts, jackals, skirmishers, brutes, hunters, elites, Engineers, and Drones.
Honestly kinda sad its still the only game to have all of them in it
@@somehaloguy9372 it’s also the last game to feature two of those species, engineers and drones( and also skirmishers to an extent)
@@yapyapthedestroyer2562 I'm pretty sure the reason they gave all ghe Skirmishers in Infinite the fancy shields and helmet was just as an attempt to hide the fact that it was just using the regular jackal model
@@somehaloguy9372 we’ll probably
@@somehaloguy9372 yeah but that was also in reach but for thr higher classes, infinites skirmishers aren't true skirmishers but rather female jackals
In my opinion, one of the best things that 343 re-included in Halo Infinite are the skirmishers. Best species ever (besides us). Too bad that they aren't T'voan.
Settling some beef
Birds vs toads noice
grunts vs banished hunters
The skirm mangers are just wrecking them
He’s back again
These videos are great
Just wait until Grunt Goblins make their triumphant return, perhaps whenever we get to explore the Guardian wreck that’s always in the distance.
I don't even think Banished Grunt will have their mech suit, if I recall, only the Grunt that affiliated with Created can become Grunt Goblin

In halo wars grunts had them as their own heroes… Three of them at a time in fact
@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire Did they appear in Halo War 2?

Here’s a quick refresh on the matter: ua-cam.com/video/pT_jl_hXg7w/v-deo.html
Always gotta be two 15 second ads before every damn video I click on, no fail.
Grunts verses Skimmers could be good
Maybe do a skirmishers vs elite?
Dear Gamecheat13, with your capability of modding, do you think it is possible to change or increase the amount/coloration of the blood effects/decals?
BEEN A LONG TIME TO UPLOAD
Do their shields even actually do anything?
Yes, but not much, they rely on their agility more
good looking around the arena, if you go higher itd be easier and better camera angles
this is just warzone movement king vs new players
Like to see a unsc marines and a jackals vs everything..(yes I'm a jackal enthusiast)
Brute chieftens vs brute beserkers
Brutes vs grunts 🤭
Can you do marines already?
Please do Marines vs various covenant troops next!
The lack of blood still pisses me off
Great video! Can you please do next grunts or jackals vs hunter please?
I wonder if that would count as a retcon. In Reach, the Jackals and Skirmishers were seperate species, but in this, Skirmishers are just female jackals. But Bungie made Reach, 343 Infinite. Does that count as a retcon?
Reach's Skirmisher is subspecies of Jackal, Infinite's Skirmisher is indeed female Jackal
You should do the bipbap vs the skirmisher boss
I want to suggest putting marines against Banished, but we all know how things would go. The marines with assault rifles, commandos, and battle rifles would do weak damage and die fast. Marines with other weapons would be overpowered and win all the time.
I think we can all agree that the jackal skirmishers' speed and frequent use of needlers gave them a big advantage.
With Commandos and Battle rifles they would actually do pretty well
@@enigma3383 Even if that's the case, they still need a damage buff when using ARs. The damage they do with it is insanely low.
@@andyfriederichsen true but honestly give em any weapon that does insta kill when there’s no shields and the do pretty well, it also depends one what they are fighting, if it’s like a brute chieftain then it’ll take a good number of marines, but if it’s Brute Minors or Elite minors, as long as they have something like a BR or Commando they should be relatively fine. I was surprised how well they did
@@enigma3383 Marines STILL need their assault rifle damage buffed. I agree with what you said, but my original point still stands. Watching a marine with an assault rifle trying to kill a grunt is like Halo: Reach all over again, which should NOT be the case.
@@enigma3383 I just want them to be able to hold their own against grunts and jackals when using the assault rifle.
I wanna know how he does these, they're really cool
