No he shouldnt. What fun would it be being invisible for the whole game? The invisibility is just long enough if used stratigically, which most of you obviously dont. Also, I think he has the coolest armor of any of the Halo characters.

You are absolutely correct. The Arbiters armour is cool, and The Arbiter is cool himself

I thought the Arbiter's armour looked pretty good. Just one thing however, why do the shields recharge a million times faster than the other shields if its so ancient?

Yeah, the Arbiter kicks ass, if he returns in Halo3 he should reclaim some Gold armour though, because its way cooler.

Lets face it the Arbter in Halo 2 had junk armour:
It only went 'invisible' for about 8 seconds
and it looked bad

I personlly hope he gets a proper one in Halo 3

Any comments? please... somebody?


8 seconds what the hell do you play on easy mode?


rofl
Legendary makes the Camo practically useless. Thank God for no more health bars!

like hat... 2 seconds?

I dont even want to play as him.



I second that. I HATED playing as the Arbiter in Halo 2. I hope they decide to kill him off and just have us playing as the chief. Chief in my opinion is so much better.

I agree i dont even want to be the arbiter. But it would be completely idiotic to take him out of the story. So just follow up what happens to him during video clips and such. I want the chief to kick his butt!

Do you really think that 8 seconds camo is short...man you are not a REAL Halo fan if you think so, my thoughts is that you have just played on EASY difficulty...and you think that is hard? Man you can't be serious...first time I played the game I chosed HEROIC and thought it was okay with 5 seconds camo! (when playing Arbiter)
And I have played the game on LEGENDARY many times...and I don't think the game is so difficult anymore, of cource the snipers and the brutes can be annoying, but the CAMO?!And playing on EASY...I didn't knew that was possible, I got bored almost to death just because it was too easy, man what a laugh!!!!

I did't like the capabilities, and, compared with the rest of the Covie Armor, it did look like crap. It would be nice if you could play BESIDE the Arbiter, not as him. I personally prefer to play only as the Chief.

God this forum has been done so many times...

Look, I'll say it again, just like I've said it at every other forum with this topic: People who appreciate the game for its symbolism and storyline and have more creativity enjoy playing as the Arbiter. The Arbiter's character provided another viewpoint in the game, as well as a more strategic way to play the game (stealthy assassin vs frontal assault super soldier). To those of you who can appreciate the Arbiter and what his armor means to the Covenant, my hat's off to you. To the rest of you, who think the Arbiter sucks ass and that Master Chief should just kill him in the next game, grow up and get an imagination. "But BrotherofNOD, Master Chief is the original character and he should be the only character because he kicks Covie butt!" So? Killzone had a main character too, but it also had other characters you could play as too with different fighting styles, and that was a kick-ass game because of it. At least Bungie is only letting us play as ONE other character, you whiny babies. They could have 5 or 6 other characters to play as and then the game wouldn't be a FPS, it would be an RPG.

To sum it up, the Master Chief is great, but so is the Arbiter. If you didn't like his armor, fine, but realize that the armor is more ceremonial and it symbolizes the strength of the Elites. Imagine if he wore that in Halo 3 as he lead the other Elites, grunts, and hunters against the rest of the Covenant. The sight of him in that armor would have the same effect to his allies as Master Chief's armor effects the other marines. It's called boosting the morale of your troops. Wish we had something like that in Iraq...

Brotherofnod has this spot on, I was not the biggest fan of the Arbiter, to begin with, but after playing the game through a few times it all just flowed so well.

The only thing I don`t agree with is mentiong Halo and Killzone in the same sentance like its ok lol

  • 05.16.2006 8:46 AM PDT

I think the Arbiter is cool.. well would be if he didn't wear recycled tin for armour

He's helmet looks good, but apart from that it's crap
I reckon a Grunts armour is more stylish then that outdated junk

I have to agree about the armor's looks. It made you look way less muscular than the rest of the elites.

Who cares how muscular he looks. Are you guys even reading the other posts? His armor isnt meant to be the coolest. Its ceremonial. Other Elites look up to the Arbitor so obviously the Armor holds some authority. Plus, for the record, I think his armor is cool.

  • 05.17.2006 3:56 AM PDT

I don't want to play as someone who looks so bad
Who cares if it's ceremonial I want to look cool when I'm kicking some Brute Cheiftain's Arse

Yes I think it's crap. I mean, the Chief has a 'patch' to cover his nuts, but for the arbiter, it's just a flap of skin. Now what's gonna protect his family's jewels?

He has no family jewels, he is flat as a Panasonic Plasma HDTV.

I hope you noticed you just compared an HDTV to alien genitalia...

another agreement with BrotherofNod..
The arbiter adds something to the storyline which intrigues the player moer than thinking "covenant are evil" the use of the arbiter shows the covenant's flaws. But also shows their strengths, and shows them as real living creatures rather than target practice. None-the-less it is fun to pwn the covenant, because you know, inadvertantly they are trying to destroy mankind. And as for the armor, it looks very artistic, like many covenant things and while not colourful, it does serve its purpose...and it still looks cool.

I agree, but i still think his armour sucks.

It would look a lot better if he had something metal beneath

Unfortunately for people who didn't like to play as Arbitor in Halo 2, you'll most likely have to play as him in Halo 3, the story wouldn't make sense without him, and i think it was fun playing as him.

And yes, his armor is crap.

The Arbiter should get a new armor in halo 3, white with gold tri.mming would be nice.

edit: Why the F**** do they "blam" the word tri****g??

I've seen you people say things like "t3h 4rb1t3r sux i h4t3 h1s l3v3ls".

So, you don't really hate the Arbiter, you hate the levels he plays on, correct?

So, what if the Chief had sucky levels, would you hate him?
