Obviously it’s all about marketing, and putting Arbiter in is a great thing for KI. Even if some KI fans don’t like it, it will massively increase the game’s exposure. As you can see, it already is.

omg I feel so nerdy cause I knoe that sound from halo…hahahah…memories lol
i like this arby thing WAAAAAAYYYYY more than rash toad!
cant wait to see the next character reveal
there’s a price to pay for pushing KI’s name forward… Back to the fighting scene.
kinda wish they actually went with a sophisticated british accent on cinder instead of the …I guess u can say deadpoolesque voice
I’m a Halo fan, have beaten them all, and play Halo 5 MP a TON. So I’m obviously completely cool with Arbiter being in there. He’s probably even more BA than Chief. Just an all around good character.
deadpool cinder costume accessories confirmed lol jk
was arbiter black in halo? just curious
just give him a bunch of weapons and stop him from burning and ding! Deadpool is in KI.
Fruck deadfool, Spawn is so much better and badass!
Arbiter is the same in KI as he is in Halo…an Alien.
I’m kinda deadpooled out actually…idc for the character anymore now honestly…movie wa good tho
Just to quell a few of the theories floating around here: The Arbiter in the game is an amalgamation of Arbiters past. It is not Thel 'Vadam. It is the idea of the Arbiter, though Thel’s recognizable armor set is displayed in this trailer. And that’s all I will say on that!
Frankie had a few words to say about it on Gaf. If you do not know who Frankie is, imagine him as the Ken Lobb of the Halo universe.

Can we just say it’s Arbiter just that it isn’t cannon what so ever. I get it, you guys are trying to protect the Halo cannon like the female Spartan in Dead or Alive. No need to make it more complicated than it is. He won’t even be in any of the stories.
Just saying he isn’t cannon in KI is better than this “he is the spirit of every arbiter past present and future and that’s why his voice is different,.” Just say “The Arbiter is in KI, no he isn’t canon he is just in the game because I said so”

Ehhhhh knowing that he’s just generic Arbiter instead of Thel Vadam kind of ruins it for me. I want to play as him not someone else.
(The irony looking back at my initial playthrough of Halo 2 and “I want to play as him not someone else” was my exact reaction when I first started playing the Arbiter instead of the Chief.)
The Arbiter is in the game…it just happens to be all the Arbiters 
PS: I’m partial to the Arbiter from the “Halo Legends” anime.

Oh wow! I enjoy knowing stuff like this. It’s obvious there was a change of direction for the voice. I assume between teaser and trailer it was decided to make Cinder sound playful-cocky rather than sinister-cocky?
- never played a Halo game so have no idea who Arbitor is or what he’s about
- iffy on Killer Instinct becoming cross-over central
- but looks kinda cool for a Killer Instinct character I guess
He’s an alien monster…
Hm, Thel retro?
