ARBITER OMFGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Spoiler

Not liking the new armor, looks like an overgrown beetle on his head

I think he looks pretty badass in the armor.

Locke sounds fucking awful

Sounds fine to me.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

He sounds alright, but keep in mind that he is novice at voice acting.

Yeah, I'll cut him some slack for the H2A cutscenes. I'm hoping he picks it up for H5 though, considering how huge of a role he will have.

 

[Twin Tails]

You only get one chance to make a first impression.

Then Halo Nightfall better be good.

 

[shinobi602]

He sounds alright, but keep in mind that he is novice at voice acting.

I have nothing against the guy, but "novice" ain't going to cut it for one the biggest game releases in recent years.

 

[BeforeU]

I will have to agree with people complaining about Locks voice acting. Didnt sound good to me. Hope he gets better. His voice itself is really good but the acting kinda sucks.

 

[VinFTW]

I have nothing against the guy, but "novice" ain't going to cut it for one the biggest game releases in recent years.

He'll get feedback from MCC and deliver for H5. Voice acting has NEVER been an issue in Halo. Doubt it'll start now

 

[Pop]

Locke sounded fine just out of sync and laggy.

 

[aly]

Locke is going to have to grow on me. Not feeling him right now though. K. David is amazing though. He should voice everyone in the game..

 

[hastethedav]

Voice acting doesn't match a game of halos caliber.

Also-Locke looks too much like the dead space guy to me. It looks badass, just doesn't look too original to me

 

[-tetsuo-]

He sounds alright, but keep in mind that he is novice at voice acting.

All the more reason he shouldn't be so bad

 

[Listonosh]

Yeah intro scene not to MCC as a whole but to Halo 2 Anniversary.

 

[JLeack]

Man. I want this game so badly. This will be the first Halo I play within 5 years of release.

 

[Monocle]

Keith David's voice though.

 

[Plywood]

The VA for Locke definitely does sounds like he's trying to rush through his lines.

 

[SargerusBR]

ARBITER! \o/

He and MC need to team up again and blow shit up

 

[HGStormy]

I miss Master Chief's voice :c Hope Locke gets a hang of it by the time Halo 5 hits.

Cutscenes are gorgeous though. Can't wait for MCC :3

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

Yeah also not liking Locke, honestly it sounds like a YouTuber who redubbed the actual lines.

 

[Son of Sam]

locke lines should be completely replaced, actor included.

lets not go through another dinklebot

 

[rokkerkory]

tempted to check it out but nopeeeeeeeeeeee will wait

 

[wwm0nkey]

Version without the pause and cut dialogue but also very choppy

 

[king grimlock]

that seems better will have to wait until next week to give it fair judgement though

 

[Poodlestrike]

Oh please, he's nowhere near Dinklebot tier. He could stand to inflect a little more, but Dinkleage practically seethed with contempt for his material. This is unemphatic at worst.

 

[The Inventor]

I won't see it. I'm a spoiler free dude till tuesday.

Must. Resist.

 

[luknotluck]

Locke's voice doesn't match his character's body type. I feel like his body armor is just too slim compared to the other Spartans.

 

[VindicatorZ]

Is that an in engine cutscene? Looks great if so.


Have we still yet to see any in game footage of Halo 5?

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

Eh idk, I could buy dinklebot as a unemotional robot, but locke just sounds totally out of the scene, voice didn't really sound like it matched the character, his inflection was like something out of a narrated audiobook.

 

[Kajiba]

It's not that bad. It's good.

People are reaching to much about this.

 

[shinobi602]

It's not that bad. It's good.

Or people just feel differently than you do. You think it's good, others think it's bad. Who's right?

Yeah, he sounds fine.

nov 10 halo 5 beta

 

[Pathos]

Arbiter with the fucking crown

 

[Super Stardust]

What's wrong with lockes voice? Sounds good to me

 

[LordOfChaos]

For the Halo MCC bridge cutscenes, I'm ok with this voice acting, but I hope for Halo 5 everything is really A grade. Arbiter is awesome as always, Locke could use work.

 

[NullPointer]

Not watching this but we've already been told there would be new stuff in the MCC - serving to both fill in some missing stuff with Halo 2 and set up Halo 5.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

It's from the MCC, so it's definitely pre-rendered. It could have been originally rendered in-engine and then just added into the MCC as a pre-rendered video file, but I kind of doubt it. It's probably more or less representative though and could be seen as a target render, as it seems to be an in-house job rather than Blur, which is who 343 typically uses for pre-rendered cutscenes. It looks a lot like the pre-rendered trailer for the H5 beta too, which I think backs up my assumptions.

And as far as I know all we've seen of H5 is this, the beta trailer, and the models of the unlockable armors from the beta. So no, nothing in-game yet.

 

[rrc1594]

It does kinda sound like he is reading off a book

 

[Kajiba]

I'm going from where the guy comes from. The guy can act from the tv shows I watch him from and his voice acting is pretty good for someone who really never did it before.

It fits is what I'm trying to say. It not jarring to point where he doesn't fit the character he's portraying.

 

[jg4xchamp]

Yay Arbiter is as lame as he has always been.

That's exactly it though to me. His voice seems so off to what's happening in the scene. Like he's reading his lines and *trying* to strike some inflection and emotion in them and just falling completely flat, to a point where it's a little corny almost.

Each his own of course.

a few shots in this trailer

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Run. Run away, and never return.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Keith motha fuckin David

 

[spannicus]

Looks hot and voice acting sounds good to me.

 

[NullPointer]

Yay Arbiter is as lame as he has always been.

He has more character than the Chief.

Not digging the Elites. Ever since Reach or so, I've felt like they were getting overdesigned.

 

[EroticSushi]

Arby's armor was seen in the Escalation comics.

are they trying to enforce the dino image?

MUCH better in CGI.

Ohhhhh fuck. Hyyype hahaha. Arbiterrrrrrr!!!
