Despite headlines saying the original announcer from Halo Multiplayer is back for Infinite, I did not hear him a single time for the first four hours.
It’s not that I didn’t get any double or triple kills, I did. It was the female announcer from the Blur trailer (Commander Agryna) that was doing all the talking in my game. She was also announcing all the CTF events and introducing all the gamemodes. Somemtimes the personal AI would comment on funny kills I had gotten but the original announcer seems to be nowhere for me to hear him. Did they replace him with Commander Agryna? How do I change the setting to the original? Will there even be a setting for it when the game launches so I can hear one or the other, and not both?
I really want him to announce in BTB. As people have pointed out elsewhere, this game mode is where the biggest streaks can happen. He is the “voice of Halo multiplayer” – at the very least allow people to control how often he is heard.
He thankfully is in the game, but I’ve noticed I’ve been hearing a lot more Spartan chatter and A.I. dialogue. Hopefully they’ll be able to balance out several factors in that regard because he’s always a welcome voice to be heard.

He’s in arena gameplay, not btb currently. I hope they change it. My only theory as to why it’s like this is because there are so many players on the map the audio space is filled with too much Spartan chatter to add another voice to the mix, but if that’s the case I think almost everyone would agree we’d rather have Jeff in and cut some of the other noise.
Yeah the new chick sucks good ol Jeff made you feel damn good for getting those medals. Haven’t heard a single kill from the grave. I just hope they have not reduced his voicing to try and sell these ai models and voices…

Yeah I don’t like that he’s not in BTB. I just turned Spartan chatter off so I can just hear the environment, gunfire, vehicles and announcers. It doesn’t make sense why he would be in Arena but not BTB, even if the excuse is for story or lore building…
It’s well known that 343i are trying to get rid of all legacy voice actors/announcers in Halo and replace them. Unfortunately Jeff is just as iconic a voice in Halo as Steve Downes and Jen Taylor. They have tried to replace him with Commander Palmer and now they’re trying to replace him again.
Dear 343i please just stop destroying Halo online multiplayer legacy.
Really annoying how when the flag is picked up or dropped that instead of Jeff I get generic AI voice number 3… I don’t like any of the AI voices so why can’t I just have Jeff?
I just hope they have not reduced his voicing to try and sell these ai models and voices…
and now they’re trying to replace him again.
