Subject: Elites apparently got straight A's in English Class

I know you're all going to hate me, but for the love of god, WHY do the Elites speak perfect, unaccented ENGLISH?
They're aliens.
They don't have lips.
They SPEAK SANGHEILLI!

Please please please PLEASE don't make me play through another game of aliens telling me they're going to eat me in English. They can still say it, but I shouldn't be able to understand them.

Eat raw meat.
Punch a bear in the face.


If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

Appearantly, UNSC soldiers have translators.

Besides, it's a game. How can Russian soldiers speak English too when they would clearly speak in Russian.

Death to rank junkies.

It's a game. Deal with it.

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.”

I wouldn't mind more alien language present.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

From Halo Wars
Edict of the Office of the High Prophet of Tolerance

Hear now that five hundred teams are to be formed
to study the language of the Unclean. Each team to
consist of the most clever and most educated
Unggoy and Sangheili. These teams to speak only
the Unclean language among themselves. The
Unclean language to be taught to all military strike
team, that the foe shall be vulnerable.

I find it ironic that an alien life form from millions of light years away speaks better english than most of the people on these forums.

Group invites will be treated very poorly because the Care Package is empty.

It's a -blam!- video game. Get over it.

Most kills in the world with the Storm rifle in halo 4, the Plasma Repeater in halo reach, and the Plasma rifle in halo 3.

well.

Alright then.
I stand corrected by the BS police.

And i'm not saying that's all that I want. Just that it's sort of odd, ya know?

And going with police's post, so some speak it. Why ALL?

Sad, but true...

On topic, it would be nice to have more Sangheili language in the game during encounters with the Elites. I would love to hear Elites Wort Wort Worting again, I feel Elites should only speak English during cutscenes and other important moments.

Super amazing ancient forerunner translators.

  • 11.15.2009 9:30 PM PDT

I wish I was still legendary.

Mk. VI suits (h2, h3) have translators. Mk. V, from h1 (this time period), don't canonically have them unless they have an AI in them, so prepare to hear some pretty epic blargs.

I want to get around the Xbox Live profanity filter using sanghelli words, and Bungie is the only one who can help me.

  • 11.15.2009 9:37 PM PDT

First off it's a game. Second they are supposed to sound honorable and proud. Third You'd think that UNSC translators would translate it perfectly, like if you were using a dictionary. So it wouldn't bring up any slang.

The halo wars thing does explain it. However, I do want some wort wort worting in reach.
