I know that English is the de facto official language of the UNSC, but that shouldn't mean that the UNSC forces should have a more varied Earth nationality. So far I've only heard American, British, Australian, and Latino and to be frank, they get a bit old after a while.

So my question is this: when will UNSC forces actually start to feel more like a Earth-based military force? Where are the Russian/Slavic, African, Asian, continental European voices? And no, I don't think it would "cost more" to get actors with those accents. I'm sure plenty of Americans will at least be GOOD at the accents.

And yes, I am also aware that while not EVERY UNSC Marine should have an accent (especially since not all of them are from Earth), that still doesn't mean that Inner and Outer Colonies have Earth accents and languages.

I don't expect this to happen on a big scale. But it be at least nice to have, for example, a Pelican accent with a familiar Russian accent, etc. etc.

"I'm afraid of the man I'll become if I lay my life down for the people I don't even care for"

I agree.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Not really.

If you want to see the MC die, play Legendary. If you want to see MC finish the fight, play Halo 3. If you want to see MC finish the fight by dieing, why did you waste six years when you could have done it yourself right now?

Good idea. No reason it shouldn't be done.

Sierra 320? That sounds more like a French accent to me, than anything else.

Um.

Do you mean the Interplanetary Wars?

All right, then say nothing else if you're not going to contribute.
