I was thumbing through my PCGAMER magazine when I found a listing of websites that appeal to all sorts of gamers. Some of them were Women gamers, -blam!- gamers, African American gamers, even christian and muslim gamers! I came across the deaf gamer site at www.deafgamers.com and I read their review of Halo. http://www.deafgamers.com/halo.htm they mentioned something that i never really noticed, Halo has no subtitles! Imagine playing through the entire game of Halo, no "wort wort wort" or "cant run with thing on back!" or "aaahhh it burns!" and no getting help from cortana! I myself am not deaf, but I feel sorry for all the deaf gamers out there that play games that are big on sound and dialogue (which Halo 2 definatley will be). I was wondering if there would be any subtitles in Halo 2 or if there were any chance that some may be put in? Thanks

PS: the subtitles would be able to be turned on and off of course, so everyone would be happy

"The way of the warrior is the path of shadow. The gift of the warrior is to percieve that which cannot be seen. The spirit of the warrior is to strike in a single moment. The destiny of the warrior is balance in all things. And when balance is lost... all that is left is the reckoning."

think they should only be for the cutscenes/cinemas because if they're there during gameplay they might become a nuisance. But then again, they could be useful when you have to be quiet, say nov. 10th at 2 am maybe?...

There would be an option to turn it on or off, and I think they should do it because I am deaf :( Its okay though, I might be able to hear once November comes (getting a hearing implant in my head, oww), but I would still like the subtitles. I actually posted about this a few months back and Stosh told me that Bungie was thinking about adding it, so I hope they do.
