How To Incorporate Firefight Voices

For those who are unaware, Halo 3 ODST and Halo Reach allowed you to select different voices for your character in Firefight (Sergeant Johnson, Buck, etc.). Basically, it was a lot like Spartan Chatter today, and that’s exactly my point. I propose a similar system, where you can select different voices for your Spartan’s chatter. This would make it a bit easier to tell who’s shouting about headshots, and would add another layer of customization. The voices would probably be from Req Packs (let’s face it, 343 wouldn’t do it any other way), and there wouldn’t be anything too absurd (Grunts, Monitors, etc.).

You know they let you by the Voices of war pack that lets you change the announcer now? It’s almost the same thing.The pack comes with Buck, Exuberant witness, and A grunt.

It’s close but the voices mentioned are more for when you hear a players character say “shields recharged” and all the voices your character itself will say when engaging enemies to help alert others.
I would like this feature to be added as getting the master chief or Johnson made for great dialog.

I’m more referring to what your Spartan will say in the middle of battle. For example, they may call out “Picked up a sniper rifle!” or “Watch it, your shield are down!”. You don’t hear your own Spartan say it, but you can hear others’.

It would definitely add some more variety to multiplayer, yeah. Right now the only difference between voices is whether it’s male or female. If your team is all guys, you can’t really tell whose Spartan is yelling at you. It would be much easier to tell between Johnson and Chief. Chief would definitely have to be a Mythic, else everyone would be running around as Chief, and the problem comes full circle. Maybe you’d have to unlock them like in Reach, but it would be handled like Commendation Req Packs?

Kay, just wanted to confirm. It’s mostly flavoring to me.

I certainly appreciate that it’s there. In my experience, not very many people have or use mics, so having the Spartans call out tactical information even when players don’t can be very useful.
