I realized it is possible we may fight an Arbiter some time in the game. If you look at Halopedia and somewhere in the books (can't remember where or which book), it gives a list of Arbiters in the Line of Immaculate Succession (or whatever that crap is). It specifically recalls an Arbiter taking control of the situation at REACH.

Arbiter FTW???

It could be possible. That would be pretty cool actually.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag

yea, this would work.

Too bad a single Arbiter would destroy 5 spartans.

I've read all halo books and never read something about an Arbitrer at the battle of reach.

This is true.

There might be, and the halo story can be modified.

Too bad a Single Spartan took down more than 3 Covenant armadas :p

Agreed, maybe a sword battle or something, but he has extended shields and health?

It's DEEP inside the Halo universe. Look at Halopedia.

I don't know, i don't like the idea of a boss fight where you can't kill the enemy. he just gets weaken then says we'll met again as he flys away on an evil balloon and that entire gimmick

Don't think so, in Halo 2 R'tas says to the Arbitrer that his armor is old and not updated as an Elite Ultra (i think). I don't think it would be much more improvement in the timeline between the Battle of Reach and the time of Halo 2.

Oki doki!

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed, knowing better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives: not men, for flags.
"The Next War"

This would be pretty crazy. The battle would have to be perfect, though. It would be hard to make it just right. I have faith though. =]

  • 10.13.2009 7:15 PM PDT

I don't think that there would be an Arbiter on Reach, judging by Thel's reaction when he was given the armor.

I was in 5th grade. I popped in the Halo CE disc into the massive, clunky first generation Microsoft Xbox, and wrapped my small hands around the controller that was almost too big for me. Little did I know what I was getting into.

10+ years later, I still look up to my childhood hero, Master Chief, while everyone talks about He Man and Spongebob haha

The arbiter should be way faster than the other elites, jumping around, doing backflips and stuff. XD

I don't know if there was an Arbiter on Reach... if another replaced Ripa'Moramee after he got killed after Harvest. It would be REALLY cool to get a nice boss battle against an Elite after so long without fighting them though. Please, no holodecoys this time around, though.

oh yea that right, the arbiter in Halo 2 and 3 was not the arbiter on reach; OK yea that would be a cool fight.
