Thel' Vadamee (The Arbiter) in Halo 4

I have wanted so long to know if the Arbiter will be in Halo 4. I know he Most Likely will not be in The Campaign, but I have Heard that he would make in apperance in Spartan Ops.

In July 7-8 theres an Event called RTX in Austin. With hands on Gameplay of Halo 4. Can Someone ask if The Arbiter will be in Halo 4 for me?

The Arbiter has not been confirmed or denied for Halo 4. The Spartan Ops thing was fake. I do hope he’s in, though.

I highly doubt he’s either in spartan ops or campaign. But you never know.

Thel Vadam*, He dropped the ee’ suffix since his departure from the Covenant.

It’s acceptable for him to not be in this game due to the circumstances but there is no excuse for him to not be in Halo 5 or 6. The Arbiter is a major player in the Halo universe and deserves to be in this new trilogy.

I agree-he is a must needed character.But, I don’t think that he will make an appearance in H4, but if he does I think it will be fairly small.

I’m hoping he’ll make an appearance in at least one of the fifty spartan ops missions.

I hope that he returns at some point in the trilogy. In my opinion Thel is a much more interesting character than chief is. I enjoy playing as the chief more but i really felt there was more depth to Thel and more to explore in his character

I would rather have the arbiter as the main character than the chief, at least he’s interesting.

I think Frankie posted something on NeoGaf saying that he will be in Spartan Ops just not Campaign. Maybe a mission dealing a high ranking Elite with the Splitter Covenant group thats on Requiem.

Well all I want to know is if hes in Halo 4 or not, The Arbiter is a more interesting Character to me

@Sanguine Eyes oh yeah I know his name is Thel’ Vadam Now, Dropping the “ee” Sufix, but I prefer calling him Vadamee

Spartan Ops is definitely viable. The first season is already figured out (I’m guessing) but more seasons could have anything.

I’m more interested in what’s happening to the Sangheili than whatever is on Requiem.

In response to both of you quoted in this comment, have you never played Halo 3? The final cutscene shows The Chief going through slipspace into this new forerunner world in a different dimension, whereas The Arbiter was trapped on Earth with the Marines and UNSC, therefore it is literally IMPOSSIBLE for the Arbiter to be in Halo 4. End of discussion. There is no point hoping for something merely impossible to happen because it wont.

Halo 4 takes place something like 4 years and some odd months after the end of halo 3. And the USNC infinity has 17,000 people on board of it (if I’m remembering that right). I’m sure some of the 17,000 people on infinity were probably on earth at that same time and the campaign mission that was shown in e3 has chief going to the infinity. In 4 years it is very very plausible for the Arbitar to somehow be involved in the lore of halo 4. Whether they do it or not is what the question the OP is posing.

And in answer to the OP. I would like to see the arbitar in the game somehow. I love the chief but extra characters that you already like are never a bad thing.

Hi Metal karima! You would think that wouldn’t you but it seems 343guiltysoftwareengineering have quite craftily subverted the ending of Halo 3 for the benefit of Halo 4! As our fellow forum friend DiZ30 has pointed out, MChief’s UNSC buddies are on the way through a special portal with a sackful of fresh warthogs and Battle Rifles to join the tale, so even though the story precludes it at first Halo 4 will indeed be a thick soup of familiar ingredients such as Enemy Elites, Rampant Cortana and UNSC alleycats. Even the Ancient Evil Awakened has fired out little robotic Floods!

I do not know if Conner Franco will smile on the Arbiter’s fate but I do know that as long as it is a previously enjoyed factor of a Halo game there’s a chance it will be in our Halo 4ture (the future)!

The Arbiter is not stuck on Earth… He left with Half-Jaw to return to their home-world…

You can ask some of the people going here in this thread.

The shield world isn’t in another dimension, and the Arbiter was hardly “trapped” on Earth. The end of Halo 3 shows him leaving. It’s not at all impossible for him to be in Halo 4.

I don’t think so he is dealing with the other Elites so I really don’t think he’ll make a apperence maybe referenced but not in game. Besides the Covenant splinter cell faction the Abiding Truth wants to kill him so I doubt he would be prancing about. (Read Halo: Glasslands)
