Simply amazing.

From what I know, all of the voice actors come from a SciFi background (Battlestar Galactica/Firefly [and Serenity]), and they really seem like they are giving it their all, and getting into the roles. I couldn't find a weak link in the bunch.

The way Nathan Fillion shouts "TROOPERS! We are green, and very, VERY mean!" is outstanding and just gets me so excited (not to mention that this precedes one of the most cinematic moments in Halo history.

Somebody who I was absolutlely astounded with was Tricia Helfer's performance. I was completely blown away with her attitude translated towards the character.

Example:

Buck: "Come on Veronica, what can be more important than that carrier?-"
Dare: "-MY orders. And Buck- call me captain... I'll pass on that dance- but you can show me where to sit."


-Now, I was just amazed by the mixture of facial animation with the voice acting there, because you can see and hear the intimidation, and 'take no sh** attitude' in her voice. Another reason I am so impressed with her is because (not to stereotype) women are generally less interested in their voice acting, because they don't actually play the video game (well, Jen Taylor, and a lot of others were simply fantastic also, so I don't want to make it seem like I mean MANY women)- It is unknown If she has played it, or will play, but we do know that she definately nailed the perfect attitude for the character.

Enough on my little Tricia Helfer crush, thingy... DISCUSS!


Use this (Quite) Good Quality Recording of the Opening Cutscene for Reference

Ive always liked Halo's voice acting, but I really hope the faces look better than they did in Halo 3. I thought they looked horrible.

They'll show faces, thats a definate. Maybe not the squads, but they'll definately show faces.

Dude, havn't you seen the opening cinematic? They do show their faces! I linked it in my Original Post- and yes, the faces look a hell of a lot better.

I know that, but I dont want to base my opinions on 2 faces that we barely saw. I'll wait till I see them without Helmets.

Im kind of hoping we see Lord Hood aswell.

As you probably already know (if you read the thread), I'm a HUGE Tricia Helfer fan- hearing that she was going to be in ODST was a dream come true- bigger than when I heard David Cross was going to be in HALO 2!

<3 Battlestar Galactica!

We need a madness to the method!

THEY GOT NATHAN FILLION TO DO VOICE ACTING!?!?!

Now I'm going to pre-order it. That's freaking awesome.
