: It doesn't help that 343i and Microsoft are marketing this thing called

: In other words that trailer gave us the fans and everyone else a bad idea of

: speaking of which, who is voicing weird multi-elite Aribter?

I'm pretty sure when you look up "reading way too much into things" in the dictionary, it just links to this thread.

We should have much more about the project in CF this week, but suffice to say, i feel like we've reached a fun balance of letting players role play as an awesome Sangheili warrior in a super cool fighting game scenario/universe, including giving them the option to have that character appear as the Arbiter they know and love.

Complaining about and dissecting marketing intent, voice acting, and naming conventions are completely missing the proverbial point, and just comes off sounding like unsatisfyible bitching for bitchings sake.

Still love you guys though. Mostly.
