I really miss the old voice acting from Joseph Staten (halo 3) anyone else feel the same? The new voice actor for the grunts just sounds like some cheap English dub other than that I’m actually enjoying the new campaign for the first time since halo 3! the same cant be said for the multiplayer.

Some people have stated that some of the voice acting in the campaign, besides Master Chief, is kind of cringe. I feel that way about the grunts. They don’t feel as humorous as they used to. Now they seem like Chihuahuas with a big ego and a child voice. It feels like when 5 year olds on Xbox Live try to swear at you.

I just liked the MGS Psycho Mantis reference, the rest of the lines are meh. Their voices are really weird.

the jackal’s voices are very annoying to me. I’m fine with them talking in the books, but the characteristic vocalizations from the previous games I’m used to it feels strange hearing them speak(almost out of place in sense).

It’s the same as the Halo 5 covenant, honestly the jackals, elites, and grunts sound more like parodies of the races instead of actual aliens.
The grunts voices remind me of Pinocchio from Shrek lol
Grunts are effing hilarious, not just in their lines but their crazy movement patterns make them super fun to fight.
Grunts acting menacing/scary would just be pointless as it wouldn’t achieve anything.

They sound fine to me.
Imo they sound too much like the covenant grunts. I would have liked it if they leaned more into the banished theme of being defiant but they’re still the same cowardly lil bastards that they always were
It’s the Halo 5 grunt voice
Huh. I felt the opposite way; sometimes I wondered if Staten himself did some work in the recording studio during his year on the project.

Me personally I don’t think I have a problem with it there’s actually been some hilarious dialogue. Especially with the Marines by giving them a prasma pistol they’ll say something like I don’t think that’s a fair trade. When I die by a grant or just here in the grunts run around saying stuff is actually hilarious. As far as the voice acting goes I really can’t tell a difference I’m just enjoying all the dialogue. The elites are also hilarious when you hijack their vehicle.
I think this issue would be resolved if they saved the silly lines for when IWHBYD skull is on because although I very much enjoy their commentary I can understand others wanting more serious game.
It honestly feels ñike iwhbyd skull is constantly on
