The Arbiter has been a key factor in the Halo Universe… from when he was involved with the Fall Of Reach… to the Destruction of Installation 04B. He has always been a respected character both as a villain, anti-hero and protagonist.
If the Arbiter does make a re-appearance in Halo 5. I want him to be a cut above the rest, of the Sangheili you encounter… whether he is friend or foe… he needs to be so badass, even awesome sauce cannot describe his level.
I want him to be dual wielding… energy swords, or plasma rifles… or even a point defense gauntlet and sword/stave? I know dual-wielding is unbalanced… or so we think… but Sarah Palmer has proved that we can still it depicted on an AI. And when he dual wields he needs to show some unique move sets… like a mid-air sword spin or a sword over sword cross blocking technique… something that really gives him that unique fighting edge and memorable style… as well as his appearance and quotes.
We have noticed that the Arbiter is trying to make peace with the Jiralhanae… and the Sangheili. Arbiter is seen in 2558 during a diplomatic meeting on Ealen IV… as well as the apparant speculated direction Halo 5 may be going to Sanghelios. This concept art shows alot of sign of Vadam Keep and even the small figure appears to be a Sangheili… with his longer than average head, and saurian type legs.
So would it be so bad to speculate that perhaps we will see the Arbiter return… perhaps he battles the Ur-Didact… that would so freakin’ sweet!
I sincerely hope that the poll is a trick, and anybody who picks the second option is auto-banned.
The arbiter has always been around but hasn’t made a big appearance since 7 years now but the arbiter is now a massive part in the council “Kaidon” so my thoughts is he won’t be on the ground unless he seriously had to.
The Sangheili are by nature warriors above all else. Even if the Arbiter is a politician, he’ll still find time to be out in the field. His return will be incredible, as long as they have good, loud, appropriate music and a cool entrance.
I don’t want his return “forced” into the story just because fans like him.
I do like him too, but that doesn’t mean that he needs to return. Only if he is needed in the games.
I don’t see any logical reason for the Arbiter to go out of his way to help Chief ESPECIALLY with the way the current events are shaping up.
Imminent full-scale war with the Brutes?
Massive civil war between species?
Giant famine and technological degration on Sangheilios?
It would be pretty stupid for the Arbiter to help Chief during such troubling times and when he has SO MUCH to deal with.

Unless the Flood and/or Didact come strong on the offense, which may happen.

Flood indeed… not if my friend but now when… it has begun… the end of days.

I can understand the Flood attacking the Sangheili, but it’d be pretty out of place for the Ur-Didact to do so.
Either way, having the Ur-Didact end up on Sangheilios would be cataclysmic… But not for the Sangheili. It’d be pretty bad for us given that the Didact would have no trouble convincing the Sangheili, a race that’s worshiped the Forerunners as gods for millenniums, to attack the humans.
