Steve Downes retiring/retired (Chief's Voice)

All right after watching the round table discussion and with Steve Downes announcing his retirement what will 343i do know? How can they replace such an iconic voice to such a iconic character WITHOUT the community having a complete and utter physcotic breakdown? Especially knowing that Chief and most likely Lockr will be back for Halo 6?

What are you thoughts

Im not exactly sure what the round table discussion is.

Source of his announcement?

Hes retiring from being a radio dj only.

^this. It was a big thing back in October that a lot of people picked up wrongly. Steve retired from his radio show last year, he didn’t retire from Halo or from voice acting. If he did, you can bet your Spartan armour that there would have been a huge announcement on Waypoint :wink:

Yah there would be an official thread called “we want Steve back”

Not to mention I don’t see him just up and leaving when MC’s story isn’t finished. Halo has brought him a lot of fame, and more importantly money. Coming to 343 for a few days once in a while isn’t exactly something you retire from unless you are 90. haha

No true, but if he was I’d be like “Troy Baker time!”

He’s probably on a contract for a very, very long time.

Get your facts right man

Well even if he did retired its not like chief talked a lot to begin with

Damn and I was hoping to listen to some of his stuff maybe they have it recorded somewhere partly because I want to test my own impersonation that sounds pretty dead on I think so if anybody knows a link to previous stuff that he’s done please send it I’m sure it’s all pretty good too anyway I’d like to hear it

Please don’t revive old topics thanks, especially ones that are over 2 years old
