Ok, not a big thing, but it is something that bothers me in Halo: Reach, which I hope that will be resolved in Halo 4. Back at Reach whenever you replayed gameplay footage, the announcer can still be heard and respawn timers continue to play in the background. This happens even if you go into third person mode or go into free cam. It really bothers me because, let say you’re making a machinima and your character shoots another player. When said player is shot. In the background “First Strike” would suddenly play in the background then the respawn timer would follow. It really bothering especially for machinima makers out there because there is no way to remove the announcers or the respawn timers audio in theater mode.
Here is an example seen in 343’s Defiant Map Pack Trailer. Skip to 1:41
Here you can see that the audio will play no matter what.
