      You know I don't think a halo game centered on you carrying out the genocide of the human population would be all that appreciated by critics and the media.

      Swfty no it’s the complete opposite they don’t believe nor care about the journey they were forced to serve the covenant and are use as fodder on the battlefield. They are the most mistreated out of all in halo. Brutes even eat them on the battlefield

    The Arbiter's story technically begins in Halo Reach. He was the Supreme Commander who led the attack on the planet.
    And like he said in Halo 2's prologue, he followed the fleeing Pillar of Autumn to Halo.

      Joshua Folkestad the arbiter was one of the covenant commanders that killed the most humans, he glassed a LOT of planets (including reach) and killed humans by the millions. Hell he would even show up personally to battle to kill them himself, and yes in reach after u destroy the big covenant ship all the rest that arrive are commanded by arbiter.

    i remember being so attached to the halo trilogy and when arbiter says to lord hood, "were it so easy" i actually teared up. halo has a very strong bond with my childhood and its not explainable to people who didn't connect to it like the rest of us. And im sure i can speak for us all when i say this game is unbelievably intertwined to us all as a whole. i cannot hear the theme or see a cutscene without getting strong goosebumps and a smile created by pure excitement that i dont know how to place elsewhere. Happy to have served with you all.

The title of Arbiter was only a vehicle for redemption to him, with its destination being an honorable death. The lives of his comrades, on the other hand, are still worth something to him, hence why he values them more than himself.

      Katzenspiel Game yet I think the arbiter In halo 5 was just a market device, everyone knows and loves the arbiter and to see him reduced to a side character when he was just so badass and shouldn't he be a lot less trusting of ONI agents or ONI in general, especially with one that volunteered to assassinate him but when he hears that they are trying to hunt the chief he either due to his relationship with chief, maybe he'd want to protect him or when they destroy the covenant he comes along with them to find chief and when they Osiris and Blue team face off against one another again the chief and his squad are ready to open fire but when arbiter comes out of the shadows and chiefs squad lowers his weapon, he'll I can even think of the dialogue
      Master chief: piss off
      Locke: stand down or we will kill you
      Arbiter comes ot of the shadows and says
      Arbiter: were it so easy
      I would just like to see him play a bigger part

  • @keithkillner500
    @keithkillner500 6 ปีที่แล้ว +245

    I see a lot of people asking why the Arbiter and the other Elites (Sangheili) had to change appearance.
    The "new design" is actually (according to the lore) a different sub-species of Sangheili. The Sangheili from H4 and 5 are a different variation of the species, in the same way that the Kig-yar are also different.
    The original versions still exist in the universe. The reason they all appear the same is because it is MUCH easier and cheaper to render the same design in the gane making process. This is why that although in H5 the Arbiter is shown in the "new" design, he is actually still the same as he always was.
    Stupidly complicated I know but but this is what happens when a studio decides to make changes.
