Subject: Nathan Fillion's Likeness (And Halo Voice Acting Chronicles)

Did anybody else notice in the opening cinematic (which I assume you've seen by now) Nathan Fillion's character (Buck) uses his exact likeness? I think thats pretty damn cool! Also, I like how Bungie hire really good voice actors, that are quite big stars, that actually do stellar jobs. Other quite big names that have done excellent and memorable jobs are, Orlando Jones (Halo 2), Michelle Rodriguez (Halo 2)- she was amazing! Also, Keith David (Halo 2, Halo 3- C'mon, he's the friggin' Arbiter!) -he sold me, such a fantastic job!

And my personal favourite, who after Halo 2, went on to become one of my favourite characters of all time [Tobias Funke], David Cross. He was my favourite Marine, EVER, he was simply fantastic and hilarious in it.

ODST is shaping up to be such an amazing addition to the franchise, (I'm calling it it's own game, not an expansion) and it has already spawned three of four more of my favourite Halo Series characters (Veronica "Dare", Buck, the Rookie, and Superintendent).

P.S.- Tricia Helfer's [Veronica "Dare"] voice is sooo sexy!

I cant wait to see you play the game for the first time if this is how excited you get from just hearing the voice actors :D

Oh, yeah man- this game is going to be amazing! Just seeing and hearing the drop scene in a camera recording quality gets my blood pumping- the musical score is perfect for the scene too! Its an adreneline rush!

I aim to misbehave!

Nathan Fillion is awesome. I mean, more awesome than most human beings walking the planet today. As I already said in another thread
Nathan Fillion is voicing Buck, therefore
Buck > Master Chief

"Nah. As long as the prince of darkness is okay with it. I am too. But thanks anyway, Mr. Velvet Spider."

xD


Buck > Master Chief


Master Chief would destroy Buck.

Also you forgot Ron Perlman voices Lord Hood.

I seriously hoped that Lord Hood would have used one of his Fallout 3 quotes when he's the narrator for it..

Hearing him say "War....war never changes." at the end of Halo 3 would have been freaking awesome.

It was stated somewhere that the characters were based losely on their voice actors so theres bound to be some visual similarities.

And I have to say, even though we've only seen a video off a screen of the opening cutscene, the characters seem to be animated better, I guess in Halo 3 we never saw any cutscenes with just a bunch of everyday people other than Sgt Johnson, Hood and Miranda.

Well, my friends love Halo, but they only play campaign for acheivements, and then play the game for its multiplayer- they don't pay any attention to the story, which is kinda annoying..

Dare looks just like Tricia Helfer when she isn't all dolled up like Number Six.
