Now this is hard for even me to ask, but should the Arbiter return or should he be left as an old warm memory? I mean, I love him as much as the next Halo fan, but it seems as though 343 might comtemplate on just leaving him as the old fuzzy dinosaur we all know and love.
What are your guys’ thoughts? Should he return as bad@%$ as he always was? Or should he be forgotten?
And if brought back how should he return?
Undoubtedly he should return.
I’m sorry if I sound like a downer, but I can’t help but think that 343 won’t bring back the old Arby, but their own version instead. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing I just don’t want to see him completely changed or unimportant compared to his previous self in Halo 2 and 3.

He seemed fine in Halo: Escalation.

Well, I’m afraid you must excuse me then as I have not yet had the pleasure of reading Halo: Escalation.

“That makes two of us.”
But, in answer to your question…
Is there sand in the ocean? 
Honestly as long as Keith David still voices him, he should definitely return.
Only if Keith David voises him and if he’s wearing his new cool armor.
He’ll definitely return, but probably not as a companion or playable character as he’s a bit more of a Politician now. A badass Politician at that, but we’d probably only see or hear from him from time to time.
YUP!
Arbiter was a big part of what made H2 the best story in the entire series. He added a different perspective and that was really neccecary to elevate the Covenant from being just a faceless horde of aliens.
He moved the story forward more than Chief did at that moment.
Making him an NPC in H3 was a mistake. The whole falling apart of the Covenant was just missing from that game, and should have been included.
H4 felt empty and too one dimensional again. Arbiter should return as a playable character to recreate that scenario of multiple storylines of H2.
Yes, definitely. Either bring him (and the Brutes) back in Halo 5 or, at a minimum, give the Arbiter his own Halo 3: ODST sized spinoff.
Who is Ariter just kidding , ofcourse i loved his missions in Halo2.
Definitely! The Arbiter is… the Arbiter. No other alien in the franchise can measure up to his awesomeness! 
How is this even a question? Hell yes bring him back!
Hale yea. Keith David needs to do his voice though! I don’t think to many fans would appreciate a do Over. Same with Lord Hood it needs to Be Ron Perlman acting his voice!
Yes. Dramatically.
100% YES!!!
can’t wait to get two comics at the same day good i got it on the calender 23rd!!!

Arbiter’s skin was probably a mistake.
