Following the evacuation order, ''Infinity'' was rammed amidships by a [[Banished dreadnought]] and sustained severe damage. Shortly afterward, John-117, who had stayed aboard and continued fighting in the hangar, was confronted by Atriox and flung out into space; both he and the Banished leader were presumed killed in action since contact with them was lost. Meanwhile, a [[Battle for Zeta Halo|conflict]] between UNSC survivors and the Banished for control of Zeta Halo unfolded on the ring's surface.{{Ref/Game|HI|trailer|Detail=[[Halo Infinite Campaign Gameplay Premiere|Campaign Gameplay Premiere]]|Id=Premiere}} | Following the evacuation order, ''Infinity'' was rammed amidships by a [[Banished dreadnought]] and sustained severe damage.
