America -blam!- yeah!

LMAO

But seriously. They have Ghetto accents, English Accents, Mexican Accents and Johnson Accents. Just listen to the marines before you kill them more.

It's not like majority of the UNSC would be American anyways.

Well, the game is made in America, so that's how that tends to work out.

The Halo Universe does not just exist in America. Think of it this way, what if there is Army of Earth, would it be majorly USA?


Well if it was anything like NATO, it'd be mostly americans, a small contigent of Brits and then a few others for PR purposes.

That's only because it's a US started thing. All other countries think of it just as a program to have allies. It's our American belief that's pushing everything.

Terrence Stamp (the Prophet of Truth in Halo 3) is British. As well, Robin Atkin Downes (the Prophet of Regret) is British and Hamilton Camp (the Prophet of Mercy) was a British-born American who still had a British accent.


Even though I love Regret (He's my favourite Prophet) we're talking about the Marines here. The Cobra drivers in Halo Wars are voiced by British guys, so we should have a fare share of marine voices too, so should every other country (A marine with a Welsh accent would be awesome =D). You don't see any Fench or African accented marines do you?

Wait... all the evil characters are English? I suppose the next Halo game will be made by Mel Gibson now, will it?!?

Joking, don't stress.

Australian actors would be cool, their accent is funny.

Throw another grunt on the barbie mate. :)



I'm australian and find that offensive! *cooks grunt on barbeque*

There were Australian Marines in Halo 2 (not sure about 3), so it's not all Americans. I'd like if they had a main character in the game not an American.
The main character could be, Dominican, Puertorican, Donald Faison... just throwing it out there...

I got it!!! A french speaking chieftan with a hammer in one hand and a cigarette in the other... he yells out the f 'ing spartins they are cockroaches running everywhere... rotflol

They should have a mini-game where you as Cortana must navigate through the flood ships´main computer...just a thought.

Thats because in the future, all the people who aren't american will be stuck on plain old earth because of their lack of intestinal fortitude. Of course socialist obama wants to change that by making us weak pansy european-style govt.


BTW- Bungie=from america. They know what the deal is

It's a'holes like you that make other nations hate our nation. I mean I have nothing wrong with nationalism, but people like you go too far (though I do admit I am very leary of Obama). Also, George Lucas is American yet Star Wars has too many British actors to count.

Or was this sarcasm?

Why can i remember only 5 british actors from Star Wars? Count Dooku, Qui Gon Jin, Obi Wan Kenobi....


both obiwans- the emperior,Qui Gon Jin, dooku, the emperiorwell he's socotish, C-3PO, Chewbacca, voice of yoda, R2D2, anakin skywalker from episode 6, darth vader-person not voice,the commander in the 1st movie, and the reason why there's so much cause it was filmed in england

1. Mexican guy saying "It's a beast with two backs."
2. Australian accent on a marine sneaking up on a Flood like an Alligator going "crikey."
3. Fez from "That 70's show" is part Venezuelan and Colombian.
4. African accent on the background announcer in New Mombasa, Terminal, the Pitt, and who knows what else.

lol.
to op, of course most of the voices are in english. just like if you bought a japanese version of the game most of the voices would be in japanese.

accentwise, i think america is well enough represented in the english version of halo. besides, if there were frenchies on my side i would probably die laughing. the idea of a hardcore french marine is hilariously ridiculous.

Don't know who you've been talking to but Scots are Brits.

I also notice a distinct lack of Martian and Reach accents and those from other human colonies. Since most people that we'll be playing as and fighting alongside are not from Earth anyway, why should we bother looking for accents from Earth?

  • 07.19.2009 1:24 PM PDT

A well-built sniper rifle is a beautiful thing. Mine has two separate levels of zoom: 'Up-close-and-personal' and 'Hello-you're-dead'.

They should add a french and a spanish guy!
They sound funny!

win, there are some british/ausie voice acctors.

Ego Reparare; Ob Me Non Deficiebit.

Well, there are the possibilities that:
a) Bungie is lazy and can only find actors able to do Anglo-American accents
b) Most of the world was wiped out, esp. Africa and everything-but-NATO nations
c) Asians are smart, so wouldn't really be in the Marines... who are technically grunts
d) French people didn't volunteer for military service
or
e) All of the above.

I thought the chick in the Reach trailer was French, but I may be wrong.

Oh, and Bungie is American, so would most likely use America (who buys the most Halo-related items) as its base for taking over the world. So, yeah. That might explain some things.
