Well I guess I better put some pants on.

I feel like I'm gonna break this thing!

The technology used to translate the covenant was still very new, so perhaps whoever we play has doesn't have that installed, and we hear the covenant speak in their native dialect.

Do you Bungie will do this?

Is this something you want?

I don't know if they'll do it, but I think it could be quite cool.

I'm neutral about it. On one hand, some of the stuff they say is pretty funny, but on the other, some of those "WORT WORT! YAYA RULALA!"s were just priceless.

No.

Part of what made Elites, and the Covies as a whole feel more alien was that only Grunts spoke english.

I can haz ur mumz

In the halo timeline it does say that the covenant spent some time studying humanity so no I think it's ok the way it is.

There should be a transtale button, that translates it, that would be pretty cool.

I wish I was still legendary.

There was no translation software at this time readily available, I think. So only grunts, which is cool - elites are MUCH scarier when they're not speaking english. Brutes probably as well, if they're in the game.

Grunts and brutes should sometimes speak english, and the elites only in cutscenes (I miss Wort wort wort).

  • 10.07.2009 6:39 PM PDT

Play to win. and remember dude just chillax its a game

maybe a cutscene when your helmet gets messed up or knocked off. w/ subtitles
