remember that ship was made for peace, and exploring not for war. I'm guessing its not equip with the typical UNSC battery used in war, but regardless up to date in tec! |

On that matter it goes against Glasslands plot as the galaxy is hardly a safer place with the defeat of the covenant and the flood. |

It says so in the trailer.... Anyway I imagine given the nature of space exploration having a contingent of marines is standard procedure since it would be a reasonable assumption that not every race you encounter in the galaxy is going to like you.

Hell, perhaps it's a contingency incase they run into any surviving prophets trying to rally brute holdouts. Just bring enough firepower to wipe em out. Cause as potentially interesting as the new enemies might be, campaign gameplay in Halo has always revolved around the dynamic of fighting Elites, Grunts and Jackals.

Well of course the Infinity would have some sort of fire-power, its a re-commission starship from the previous war, and was the biggest UNSC capital ship out there. Once it was recommissioned most of the technology on the ship went into slipspace navigation, instead of filling the ship with nukes, and other heavy war fire-power, its more into excavation and research, (those heavy things that kind a look like a replacement to the elephants from halo 3), not intended to pick a fight with anything and like said before if your on exploration mission best bring something to defend yourself with. Its way different then taking the UNSC Halcyon-class Cruiser (SCS Pillar of Autumn) the strongest UNSC ship into space excavation, that thing was build from the ground up to be a military vessel, unlike the Infinty which was a research based vassel. If anything we should expect some cool toys from that ship

The infinity is 3+ kilometers long. the ship is positively gigantic. It's less a ship and more of a floating city. You could put an army of scientists, colonists and excavation guys on it and still load it up with enough armaments to level modern day earth.

I believe the alien forces aren't covenant but pirates. The grunt said demon so I don't know why they would openly engage in combat with him if they know who he is and what he does...and if they don't have to.

Or they are the Covenant that rebelled on the novel Glasslands. About the ship, i think they just put the military + Spartan IV just for defense (also covert operations perhaps). You never know who you're dealing with. Its also very stupid if you go traveling unarmed.

I just noticed that the magnetic mine CAN latch onto anything, and basically be used as a remote detonation bomb.
This officially makes the thing ludicrously useful and I want it NOW.
