I hated the marine voice actors in halo 2. Everyone else was good except the marines. They're combat dialouge was at many times annoying and their voices were...errrrr. in the halo 2's E3 demo, the marines sounded AWESOME!!! I got really mad when in the real halo 2 the voice actor totally screwed up the line "When i asked for reinforcements i dint think they'd send a spartan." In the H2 E3 demo it sounded like "(ragged voicce) When i asked for reinforcemens *grunt of pain as he moves his injured shoulder* i didnt think they send a spartan *grunt of pain*." In the real halo 2 that idiot was like "WHEN...I...ASKED...FOR...REINFORCEMENTS...I DIDNT THINK...THEY WOULD SEND A *snoring in the backround* ...A...SPARTAN..." I was like "what the blam was the crap i just heard!" Thats only one example. The marine voice actors in halo 1 were AWESOME...get them back!

The ones that were there were fine, but I think they needed more voice actors. I'm sure you dont run into the same 5 marines throughout the whole game lol.

No matter what you do in life, you will disappoint someone.
No matter what you say, you will offend someone.
No matter what you think, someone will think you're an idiot.

Find and eliminate these people.

The only voice actors I hated in Halo 2 were the voices of real actors whose voices were easily recognizable. I don't want to recognize a marine's voice from a TV show, I just don't.

I liked the voice actors and the funny stuff they said but I didn't like the fact that it was very unrealistic. Soldiers just won't go into combat yelling out jokes and stuff. I do hope they have occassional humor in Halo 3, but I really hope that Halo 3 will be more militaristic and have the Marines act like most likely would in real life in an intense combat situation.

Hey....that one girl voice actor....is it the same girl from That 70's Show?

Yeah, that's the one I was thinking of specifically. Everytime I play Metropolis I have to hear her damn voice. It was okay at first, but it's just making me kill her on sight now.

Her: "It's tight quarters on the other side sir, take this"

*take shotgun*

Me: "Why thank you" *BANG*

Although I'd love more variety in the Marine's voices (how 'bought a soldier from Boston? I'd love to hear them complain about cah pahking when fighting in a big city ;) ), I just don't think it's practical. The bank of lines from H2 was HUGE, and Bungie will probably just up the ante wuth H3. How mcuh time and money do you think it costs to get all that, erm? HBo is STILL updating their dialogue databank, and the game's been out for a year and a half!

Well there dialouge isnt as good as halo 1. They should be more tactical in the there words and less cheery

Personally, I feel that the Marine's chatter adds personality to the game.

But, you have a point. The humor, despite often being dark, is almost too constant; and I doubt that everybody in the 26th century was an improv comedian before joining the Marines.

thank you. The occasional joke is fine. In halo 1 those jokes usually came when all the enemie were dead. For instance in the Silent Cartographer you killed all the covie on the beach and was greeted with "This Pelican Echo 419, did anybody order a warthog." (a joke, funny, but not misplaced)

The marine sargent would either reply "Hey, i didnt know you made house calls foehammer." or "Music to my ears foehammer." Again, some slight comic relief, when i want it. When im in combat i want to here " Tac HQ (Tactical Head Quarters) This is Sergeant Banks, I've got hostiles East North East of my position green smoke (refering to the plasma)." (I you havent noticed this is from the halo 2 E3 demo)

then over the COM a fighter pilot replies "Sergeant this is Major Easly, hang tight, were inbound."

See thats some good tactical COMBAT chatter. I want jokes afetr a clear and area out, not while i am.

Read about my gaming here.

I want Arnold, muhahahaaa

"get down"
"i'll be back" runs away from fight and comes back when it's over

anyway, I was also shocked with the reinforcment thing, I got the feeling he didn't care, to him a teletubie could have gotten through that door, it would have been the same.

eeeeeagle

I thought Michelle Rodriguez was an ace hardcore kickass female actor for Halo 2 and she should definitely come back, maybe even as a main charactor. She is the one in Delta Halo you can also see her in the collectors ed DVD or in Lost, she is the tough one with short sleeves.

bring back the marine voices from the halo 2 E3 mombassa demo, those marines were cool, they actually sounded like soldiers, instead of some idiot with a finger in their arse making jokes while his mates there with his head blow off, the marines in the demo were screaming,
"im runnin low man!"
"hostiles right"
"frag in clear"
they actually sounded and acted like they were fighting not on a bloody picnic like halo 2 turned out to be

There were less marines from different countries as well. In Halo 1 there was americans, brits and aussies. In Halo2 they kept like 1 aussie and all the rest were american. Bring back the brits and aussies
