343 Confirms Halo's Legendary Multiplayer Announcer Won't Be In Halo Infinite's BTB Mode

It's not a huge deal but I'm sure someone will turn it into one 😒🙄

Who cares to be honest, we can't be spoiled about everything. I love the voice but not gonna throw a tantrum, I mean people decide to work on other stuff, die, and sometimes other people are given opportunities. Shame we aren't that accepting of change as a community

It’s a hard pass from me then.

Not really. I’m in it for solo player only.

Ah, the Halo traditionalist community is at it again.

Played the beta last night and which I had a blast with but there was a guy on there saying the game was dead already due to cross play with PC players.
Crazy

@Hurblyburbly He's dead already....inside

@BrilliantBill hahah thats a nice way to put it 😂 there are the Traditionalists, Neo-Haloists, Radicals, Soloists, elitist Pros, peasant N00Bs, BTB-socials, stylists and Anti-stylists. Kind of it's own religion now ironically. Would love to see a flow chart of the different factions & communities 😂

Counting the minutes for some campaign hype and gameplay please.

@Ile drama!? DRAMA!? WHAT DOTH THEE MEAN BY DRAMA? As a Halo fan since the day I was conceived I can tell you for a fact, a FACT, that this Halo will destroy, DESTROY, the whole series. Not having co-op at launch is like not having legs at birth, oh yeah sure the doctor can give you some legs a few months later but I want legs right NOW. How dare you say we are being dramatic over the road and just critcism of the game, I almost fainted at such tenacity oh GOSH 🤦🤷🤰 you're upsetting the baby!

Goodbye forever

@Dezzy70 I will raise an extra glass should that day ever come 🙏

@FriendlyOctopus
There was nothing fps wise for me like the original Halo, day one for me it was.
Apart from goldeneye 64 it was a fps revolution for me.
Halo Infinite should be exploding all over the internet now with amazing campaign footage etc and some tv advertising, hyping the gamers and hopefully the gamer general public.
There is thousands of series s sitting on shelf’s in the UK to be sold.
And fans we don’t need any of this it’s all about game pass and cloud, Microsoft didn’t go to the cost of making them for them to gather dust.
At the moment it’s more like a limp lettuce at the super market 😂

@Dezzy70 No disrespect intended but you sure do go in circles about this topic. Are you that annoyed about the situation? Or worried?

Xbox is doing fine and it'll do even better in the coming years.

Series S is a bit of a flop, but I don't think they're meant to be sellers.

Either way it doesn't matter. Game pass is doing great, Xbox series X is selling out, Sony is doing great, PS5'S ARE selling out. PC is doing great, games a plenty on their store, much to the benefit of MS too.

Don't know what to tell you, other than try Not to stress over it. Halo campaign will be out and whether you like it or not, will be s down to your personal taste.

I don't think Halo is going to change or shift many players to one console or the other. It'll be most likely Bethesda and Machinegames etc. Not that MS are that bothered. They're all about the Game pass mostly, and the Japanese market.

But yeah, I've been over this with you, I've agreed and sympathise with your point, but other than that, you're kind of like a broken record now mate.

Be happy. Smile. Play a game or go for a walk or read a book or something 😊 it's not that bad

@FriendlyOctopus
Very true,
Looking forward to far cry 6 next week
Gonna pre order tomorrow
FH5 GPU November
Lots to look forward to.

Halo solo player here can we get more campaign news or all that 343 cares about is the boringplayer. I'm currently replaying Halo 5 in prep for infinite.

I don't care, I never pay attention to him and if I do, the announcer gets annoying.

A complete non-issue. Barely an inconvience.
But I'm sure some basement dweller will get his panties in a knot over this.

Doesn't matter to me as I likely will never play BTB mode, or at least very rarely. I don't play multiplayer games much anymore anyways (I have played Halo Infinite some though), but when I did, I always preferred the "traditional" modes.

Really who gives a *****. This game is looking perfect!

@Dezzy70 you are an interesting character

@BundyDanger
I probably just care to much and to much of a perfectionist to be honest.
I’m an aerospace operations project manager fighter jets and in my world everything has to be perfect as you are dealing with a pilots life.

@Dezzy70 I like you passion for games 😊 and the Xbox brand.

@FriendlyOctopus
Just want them Microsoft to do and be the best they can and I see areas for improvement.
My brains so programmed that way as it’s been a big part of my career for 35 years.

@FriendlyOctopus Bet you never thought you were going to be the one that made it a big deal.

@Richnj It was all part of my plan twirls moustache

I wish they'd leave multi-player where it needs to be, completely unrelated to story and just some people blasting each other.

Honestly doesn’t bother me at all. Jeff is in Arena mode. The feel of BTB is slightly different with teams being split in 4.

@Dezzy70 If I had a dollar for every time you mentioned "thousands of Series S consoles gathering dust on the shelves" 😂😂

@Kilamanjaro Wow I didn't know there is this many factions. For me it is basically the Bungie fans (itself broken down to CE/2/3 fans and fans of Reach/ODST) and then the minority of 343 fans. The bungie fans basically just want the exact same games again but it also has to be different. Like exactly the same but also different (Most of Halo youtubers are like that, Hiddenxpeia and Act Man for example) and they never stop talking about how they loved it back when 2 launched and they played it till morning with friends and so on (totally missing the fact that regardless of how good Infinite becomes they are not 12 anymore and they won't get that childhood back with the game😂). Then there is people who liked 343 games but also see their flaws.

@BrilliantBill
You would be a very rich man
I would have to pay in pounds Sterling though. 😂

@Dezzy70 Haha. Fair enough. I’m dealing with the pilot’s life as well. ATC 😂

Tag line "and some fans aren't happy" should be added as a tag line to every single story. That's just the internet these days!
As for the voice-over, I think the first suggestion was a good one - that if he only announces the medals it would be good for the fans, I mean why not?
I'm saying that I don't actually play halo multiplayer

@Hurblyburbly pc players suck....the cheaters there are ridiculous, but dead because of it i dont think so...but i wish they would keep those two ecosystems apart for crossplatform....pc has hacks and cheats for games like the unreleased BF2042 already.

keep console away from pc and vice versa..for me its about the immense amount of cheaters on pc

Wondering if they'll do DLC for extra voice actors like in Halo 5? Nathan Fillion was an excellent choice & made a nice alternative from Jeff Steitzer.

@sikthvash Good point.

Seri... The things people wine about lol.
