Ok hear me out. Wouldn’t it be kinda funny is 343 added in Caboose from Red vs Blue as an AI in Halo Infinite’s multiplayer? Or added in a skull in the campaign that changed Chief’s voice to Caboose?

Sadly, this might not happen with all the shady stuff that has happened over at RoosterTeeth, the least of which being that Caboose’s voice actor (and founding member of RT) was fired for going on unhinged right wing rants
I’m sorry but this is the first time that I have heard of this as I’ve been out of the community for awhile. What exactly happened?
Calling workers the N word, F word, and other slurs. Sleeping with underage fans. Sexual harassment in the work place. A debacle over their anime’s direction after the death of the show’s creator. Cabooses voice actors unhinged rants (more cussing people out than rants) towards his co-workers in the work place and twitter. There’s more but i just do not remember them off the top of my head.

Yeah, I had the same idea but sadly it’ll never happen, at least not with the complete original cast.
Burnie (church) sold the company, and left the country last I heard. Has little to nothing to do with the company now.
Joel (caboose) was “laid off”, undisclosed reasons but the above does line up. Although I think the underage fan thing was Ryan, not Joel.
Matt (Doc/sarge) was the company’s CEO. Not sure what his title is now after the acquisition.
Forgot the actress’ name, but the voice of Tex, I think she was a freelance voice actor and not an employee of the company per se.
The rest are still there I believe, but yeah, RT is a REAL mess and has been for a while.
I don’t know if 343 does much if anything with RT anymore bth.

I’d rather get Mahkee 'Chava, a female Elite Shipmaster you only hear through the helmet conversation during one of the missions in Halo 5 as a AI for my spartan. I think that’s the only time you hear from her too.

Well thanks for telling me. Dang that’s a bummer
OH MY GODS NO NOT MY FAVORITE CHARACTER’S VA ; _ ; man that SUCKS! Sheesh I didn’t know that.
YIIIIIKES
YIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKES
Sheeeeeeeeesh… That’s just brutal.
And, like, ask any woman VA of rooster teeth, they will tell you how hostile the workplace was to them. (It was bad.)
Something like that would be such an awesome throwback for the community, but clearly there’s some toxicity around what sadly happened to RvB
Is this rooster teeth in general or just Joel/Caboose?
Only time I heard about the whole underage creepy stuff, was the accusation against Vic Mignogna from RWBY
I was going to second this, and being in the other other red vs blue characters… It was awesome in H4 with the red vs blue Easter eggs… But after reading this I did a Google search for rooster teeth controversy and yeah sadly it would be best not to include them in Infinite. It’s sad to read about how down the toilet that company went. Infinite desperately needs some better AI voices as well. But I am not afraid to admit if they added some red vs blue characters as voice AI I would use them… There are quite a few in the entertainment industry who has done bad things but most still enjoy the entertainment they provided.

RT in general. Joel’s part was the rants in office and twitter.

What also sucks is that they didn’t even tell him he was laid off or why he was until he was trying to enter the office instead of calling him or sending him a text
Don’t forget about them abusing one of their trans employees
While preaching about how inclusive their company is

I’ve been saying they should lean into cross-promotional Fractures for this very reason.
Imagine
any Fallout robot, or Fallouts own armor AIs like the stealth suit Mk2 or the medical power armor.
Pull from DOOM’s AI’s or use something From GoW.
Could even make a joke one thats literally just Banjo Kazooie speak or Conkers bad fur day. Maybe give Blinx a reference, i dunno just something.
Liberty Prime would be awesome
Oh Gods that’s one I DISTINCTLY remember, that was REALLY bad.
Like that one was REAAAALLLLLLYYYY BAAAAAD…

I am not really into the cross promotional stuff but at this point anything would be good. There are plenty of characters from the Halo universe that should be there. The AI voices we have are just terrible. Butlr is the only tolerable one IMO.
Unfortunately, that won’t happen because of Rooster Teeth basically going down the drain like shower water, as many others have already explained
This seems to have devolved from ‘add this thing to the game’ to discussion of a company which is far outside the bounds of this forum.
