Jerome? Isn’t he already a hero unit? I heard that too, but it sounds a little odd…
On another note, Arbiter’s gameplay looks AMAZING! It looked like he had a new exclusive air unit, and elites in grunt squads. I’m hyped!
Oh yes, who’s hyped!! I hope the arbiter is Thel, but I would be fine if it is Ripa. Maybe all those spartan images we thought belonged to master chief were really for Jerome? I’m just so hyped cause I got season pass!
So this is the HW1 Arbiter and not Thel Vadam, right?
Yes! Absolutely loved the arbiter in hw1 and he’s always been one of my favourites
That new air unit it looks like a banished version of the phantom. Maybe you can garrison units inside it and transport them? It was on the leader power wheel too.

That moment when you’re teamed up with a Cutter and he builds one of you and let’s you die
Yay! I am genuinely excited for this and cannot wait to see them in action later.
Team Jerome: #MakeUNSCGreatAgain
So… Banished will STILL be left behind in total leaders?
Why does 343 seem to ignore the existence of Sgt. Forge?
And why Jerome? He’s already in the game. Why not someone new? Or someone who isn’t in the game?

Will his hero unit superman all over like the first one? Anyone remembers that -Yoink- lol.
Really glad we’re getting elites in Grunt squads, hopefully Shipmaster will get the same treatment.
Maybe the new flying unit is a successor to the vampire?

It’s the HW1 arbiter.

Maybe the leader power is to unlock it.
Arbiter will have rage but not like halo wars 2. Just basically a boost to stats. Speed. Power ex ex while active:)
Jerome is a very uninspired choice. It also doesn’t even make sense since he’s a hero unit already. Disappointed.

huh?
…why would jerome become a leader?
if we were getting a spartan, make it a different one than someone who is already a hero unit. make it one of the few spartans that actually went MIA, make it one of the spartan 3’s, make it a new spartan in general. it’s not like multiplayer follows canon, as evidenced by Johnson being there, so make it be master chief.

Yes, so if someone’s playing as Jerome, and I call out Jerome as cutter, I gain control of all their -Yoink-
Regarding The Arbiter:
Rage Conduit (seems like it can be leveled up)
Whenever a leader power is used, units in an AoE gain speed damage and hp regen.
Stasis Mine
Drops mines similar to those from Atriox, but look like they take longer to explode and deal more damage, I’m thinking simlar to ODST’s C4.
Plasma Bombardment
Looks sort of like a plasma Mac Blast, think of the Mega Turret shot from HW1. Seems like it can be used multiple times, as it has a x1 sign next to it. It would synergize with Rage Conduit.
Elite Spirit Assault
Drops some elite squads to the battlefield, they appear to be wielding Plasma Torque Bows.
The 6 o’clock leader point shows the new air unit, and the gameplay showed Banshees and Blisterbacks, so maybe it’s a new unit instead of a replacement for one of the support air units.

Where is the proof that this is correct.
