Bring Back Jeff Steitzer's Old Voice 343!

Games Halo Infinite

I really miss Jeff Steitzer’s voiceovers from Halo: Reach. They were bad***, they were mean, and they had a snarl to them. They were awesome. They motivated me to earn medals in the game. Jeff Steitzer is a unique and integral part of the Halo experience.

For some reason however, unbeknownst to me, 343 has taken a different direction with Jeff’s voiceovers. They sound way more generic and autotuned than previous games. Why??? He sounded absolutely fine before, why change them? And now he is not in Warzone? I do not understand this, and I know many people express a similar sentiment. My Halo experience is better with Jeff’s old voice back. And he agrees! (Go to around 19:40 in this video)

Here is a Halo Reach and Halo 5 comparison. I think only a handful of medals in Halo 5 sound as good as Reach (maybe Perfect and Retribution). 343 please address this in Infinite along with the return to classic art style!

I agree, he sounds way too much like a sports announcer in 343s halo. The grittier, more serious tone in halo 3 and reach sounded badass as hell, I would love them to go back to it.

I I prefer the old style of the medals too, they stood out more and were much more unique and recognisable, and you actually felt a sense of accomplishment when you were awarded them.

Speaking of medals, tone it down a bit would you 343? We don’t need 7 medals for killing one person.

Jeff’s Halo 5 voiceover is definitely a step up from Halo 4/2 Anniversary, but they just need to tone down that robotic echoey filter they lay over it. The Perfect medal in Halo 5 is one of the best lines they’ve given him.
