Call me crazy but I don't think america is the only Country in the world, so will there be marines with more accents like English, Scottish, Fren-... German and Austrailian. The marines were good but all we got were American accents and the Mexican guy (mendoza or whatever his name was).

The Marines are all international- only thing is, you didn't hear many accents because Bungie Studios can't afford to get voice actors with different accents...

There were many multinational marines, the UNSC language however is English, or a version of it.

You're probably thinking of the guy with Australian accent. There's a few different US ones, a Hispanic voice, and an Australian voice. A few new ones would be nice but I was surprised they bothered to do that much. Good on them.

Obviously this topic goes in NEW MOMBASA for halo2, even then, why do you really care where the marines from? "Oh no all the marines are American! Cry Havoc and run for the hills" Maybe every other country was destroyed? And they can't have Canadains without making fun of them, everyone always makes fun of us Canadians, they'd have somthing like:
Marine: Hey i killed that there covenant an aint get killed, eh?

I`ve been -blam!-ing about this subject since i joined Bungie.net!
It would be terrific to hear some other languages in Halo 2, other than english and spanish!

As long as the game plays fine, I don't care if the marines speak at all.

The entire world is now one united force, i don't think that there would be more than 2 or 3 languages floating around.

I agree with the accents issue though

But surely you would agree the whole world wouldnt be completely American...and plus some countries would want to keep their old languages too dont you think!

Plus....this was the 1st topic i posted on the old Bungie forums when i joined just after the E3 Demo came out!

OH...and i think there was on Scots Corporal in Halo...that guy you meet in 343GS but thats about it.

It comes down to money as well, they only have so much to spend on each part of the game, and can only do so much with voice actors because they only have so many talents. Lighten up, it's not the end of the world if you don't get your other languages... that or maybe it is...

its not hard to do more than one Accent, and you dont need proper well paid actors to do them, i can have an accent of a posh Londener, Scotsman, American, Texan, Italian, Jamacian, Irish and Australian!!

so surely these....paid actors can do more than one accent!

They don`t always have to have other languages, but it would be realistic to hear other languages when you are in the battlefield!
Talking english with a accent seems so low and badly done!
