Its funny how people who don’t like a particular character always fall back on the excuse of “he/she doesn’t fit”, and that too after just a tease. We don’t even know how he plays yet and people are already jumping to conclusions. That’s subjective for the most part. I’m part of the majority who’s really excited for Arbiter and to see what IG can have him do.
Just quoting this but I wanted to kinda add something to this debate. While not completely based around relevance and how many people it would bring in, I think the main two questions that would’ve been asked would be “Who can we get?” and “Which one could we make the most interesting?”. Based on questions, IG thought about it and we got Rash (who has popularity as well as similarity with KI by being off the shelves for about 20 years) and Arbiter (who is a decent secondary character in one of the biggest franchises in the world). People said KI isn’t being advertised as much as it should, this was shown at Halo World Championships to a significantly bigger crowd than KI has ever gotten. Now that is being turned around into a “cashout” or “cash-grab” tactic. How is it bad that IG and MS chose a character from a series that will bring in a lot more players than any character mentioned in the various wishlists? (though adding new players from a mostly vile community is not something I’m excited for)
My questions after all this,
When do we get to see Rash’s Stage?
When do we get an Arbiter Tender Moments/trailer?
Will his theme be made by Atlas Plug and Celldweller?
Like Rash, will his Ultra reference the Halo theme in some way? (I hope its in the rhythm of the main bit of the Mjolnir mix)
Will Keith David be reprising his role as the voice artist?
More of a request than a question, please have the Halo announcer as an announcer for KI. (I will start the game and then sign out and back in just to hear him say “Killer Instinct” every single time)
Lastly, I do not remember ever being excited about a taunt, but this is just Godlike!
I think that would just be silly. If Ultimates even happen in S3 I’d like for the Arbiter to just take out a fuel rod and blast the crap out of em and send em’ flying into the air.
I actually have mixed feelings about that. I would like additional taunts for other characters, but this feels like it should remain character-specific just because it amplifies the goofiness of the character.
I don’t think there is a single MS/Rare character that I would really want to see in KI as a guest. The only Rare characters I have affinity with is the KI cast, so yeah.
Im not a halo fan one bit at all. But I’m a huge comic book fan and I can say Spawn is not a huge character anymore. His comics don’t sell much and he’s just not that interesting of a character. Plus he was already in SC so who wants sloppy seconds anyway?
I for one was really hoping for Ash from Evil Dead. He’s the Killer of Killers he would have been perfect. Plus we’d get a chainsaw character. But I’m not bitter. I have nothing but faith that Arbiter will be a great character and super fun to use.
It looks a lot like Halo 5, so I think it was just a cinematic used for the trailer using Halo 5’s assets.
But my God if this is actually the stage I’m done. Imagine Arby fighting Fulgore while the Swords of Sanghelios are duking it out in the background. Gunfire going everywhere, things exploding, all the little grunts running around, it would be freaking amazing! And that is such a beautiful stage aswell.
In my opinion, Arby is probably the best choice for this game, he fits the universe. I wasn’t really looking forward to a potensial Joanna Dark like some other people but heck, I am definititelly welcoming Arby. I am SO eager to see gameplay
Who’s to say IG wouldn’t come up with some good stuff to flesh her out even more? Joanna Dark couldn’t possibly be less fleshed out than the likes of Tusk and Kim Wu right?
