It came to me last night that I really don't like the Crucible announcer. I played one particular game where I heard a new sound bite from him that left me with a sour taste in my mouth. I was dropped into a game where we were losing badly and the announcer [i]yells [/i] "FIGHT BACK!" as if I wasn't already playing my hardest.
When you're winning, he sounds kind of apathetic.
When you're losing, he just yells at you and makes you feel bad about it... rather than trying to uplift or encourage you.
I would like a new announcer. If you could get the guy from Soul Calibur, that would be swell. If not, a female voice would be a lot more soothing.
What do you think?
-
Yoda should voice the crucible ,
-
Since "The Factions" sponsor different gametypes, how about the "representative" of each "faction" being the announcer of the corresponding gametype?

-
Halo is better
-
I don't trust those English bastards!
-
Hes not as bad as the new one they've put in the halo MCC... why oh why did they change it...
-
The announcer is Ajax if had not noticed and he is more of a drill sergeant if anything he is supposed to give you a hard time to forge you into a steel cold killing machine

Edited by AxSxHx: 11/20/2014 5:57:37 PMI prefer the old man announcer from the Halo games. I believe Shaxx is the current crucible announcer and from what I've read he's some batshit warveteran who constantly pesters and intimidates the Vanguard for his silly bloodsport ideas. I can totally imagine the guardians 'finding' the map Bastion on Mars. Vanguard mentors: "This looks like an ancient battleground where the Vex and Cabal fought, much is to be learned here and valueable information is to be..." Shaxx: "LOL, LET'S TURN THE AREA INTO A SCRIMMAGE AREA!" -blam!-ing Shaxx, man.
-
You do realize that's shaxx right? Dusty old bastard..
-
We should be able to buy announcer voice packs. Same for Ghosts. I would be so happy to have GLaDOS as my announcer and Wheatley as my Ghost.
-
Ha haaar, send them home crying...

Edited by supermaxload26: 11/30/2014 12:14:46 AMWas very skeptical about him to begin with, but he has grown on me sooooo nuetral. [spoiler]He is in no way near as good to Halo 2s announcer.[/spoiler]
-
He's no Jeff Steitzer
-
I want the voice from halo. And to call out Ur kills. He always made me feel good about getting multiple kills

Edited by AttnDefDis: 11/20/2014 9:19:28 PMI think he's a dick and kind of annoying. Which is weird because I love his accent, but his dialogue sucks. The constant "you're in the lead", "you're falling behind" back and forth over and over again is super annoying. I just feel like he is constantly stating the obvious and other times he's just a condescending jerk. Like, when my team is at 10,000 and the enemy is at 19,000 and he's all "you're not finished yet" or whatever. Um, what planet are you on? Of course, we're finished. Oh, or "this isn't a fight, it's a massacre" when you're winning by a thousand points or something. I don't know. Like, with all the audio stuff in this game, I wish I could mute him or turn him way down. I can't remember the last time I couldn't adjust different volumes in my game, but I'm sure it was sometime in the early 90's.

The Crucible is basically a training exercise, so he's technically pushing you to be better. Stop being a baby and CONTROL THE ZONES!
-
It's the Speaker! like of course I like him.
-
Would it be wrong to want Bruce Campbell? He would offer no helpful advice or anything just like now. Though his deliveries would be much better suited with a touch of sarcasm thrown in.
-
I think Bear Grylls did a lot better voicing the crucible than Dinklage did for the story
-
Im neutral on this one. I actually like him sometimes but when losing I hate the dialogues that he has. The "FIGHT BACK!!!!" one annoys me so much.
-
He just sounds so disappointed in me when he says 'looks like you've underestimated your enemy.' Gets me all like 'I just want you to say you're proud of me, dad!'
-
He's too British sounding so I mostly drown him out with call outs and conversations with the other players.
-
He's an asshole. His information is totally irrelevant. He's constantly putting my team down. I wish he'd gear up so I could wipe the floor with him >:|
-
Lord Shaax is a good anouncer
-
I wish there was a choice that said "Love Him!", that guy is awesome. I do miss the "Double Kill!" guy from Halo though.
-
I like him until him or that stupid robot puts me into a match with only two other people on the team and we're down 10,000 points or more. Don't put me into an unwinnable match and then yell at me, you horned prick.
