Call outs in multiplayer were more or less introduced in Halo 5, and are probably going to appear once more in Halo Infinite. I’m curious how everyone feels about them and what could be improved when they return to Infinite. Does everyone like hearing their character shouting in game to help give tactical advice?
My personal requests are…
That if Elites are playable again, I really hope that the call outs are tailored to them. Such as instead of hearing “tossing a pineapple” I’d love to hear “HOLY LIGHT!” like the stoic Elite from Halo 2. In my opinion both lines for throwing a grenade are equally confusing for normal people, and both can easily be adjusted to.
Also I think having the option to customize your voice like in Halo Reach Firefight would be nice too.Edit: Changed the title slightly to reflect the topic better.
It would be infinitely entertaining if Elite playable character call outs were just “wort wort wort!”. Completely useless for their teammates but hilarious.
Call-Outs were OK. Didn’t think much of it but it brought a little more life to the multiplayer mode which was cool. I can imagine Sangheilis having more unique ones if they’re reintroduced in multiplayer.

I was gonna say something like this. Or even just once in awhile. I think if it happened all the time, you’d need to be able to toggle it off or people might start to complain. But I’m with you, absolutely hilarious.

I can imagine in warzone, an Elite jumps out of the pelican and shouts “Wort wort wort!”

We need someone to develop a Wort language.
If you gave each ‘wort’ 5 different tones or inflections… that’s 5 x 5 x 5 = 125 different combinations of wort wort wort - and each one could be a different call out.
Of course the vast majority of them would be call outs to die with honour.
I have always disliked call outs. I felt them to be unecessary and intrusive just like weapon spawn announcements and waypoints. I have had the callouts turned off.
If there’s one way I can forgive anything, it’s playable elites. This idea of elite callouts is spectacular and halarious. I love hearing the elite commander talk at the beginning of an invasion match. Elites having callouts would make me have callouts on all the time even though I dislike them in halo 5.

Now I’m just thinking about the ability to play as specific characters in invasion. Not that much would change besides their appearance and voice but it would just be so cool and funny. Or just have a lot of voices to choose from.
Imagine if we could choose from arbiter, shipmaster, Jul, the heretic and elites from each game for our voices. Combine that with having their armour in the game and you could basically play as them. My mind is racing with ideas right now.

Half-jaw for life, but I got a lot of love for my boy Arby’s! If they come, then I have to be Chief and finish the fight on these noobs!
