Edit* well looks like there will be alternative announcer. This thread is old. The ideas in it are from January 2015. Scroll down to the more recent post.



**** original post ***

First of all the voice of the multiplayer announcer in all Halo games (Jeff Steitzer) is very unique and it is one of the most recognizable thing in the industry. I like his voice in Halo 5 also, and that Perrrrrfect medal never gets old.



It will be great though, if you find the time and resources to give us the option to choose different announcers in multiplayer. For example Master Chief, Sergeant Johnson and others. I would love to hear Cortana or the Arbiter saying double kill or Perfect :). Agent Locke and some of the enemies would also be a nice addition to that.



You can make those alternative multiplayer announcers unlockables trough certain means (achievements or rank) or add them via free updates over time. After all you want us to play that game a lot and I think this will be a nice fresh addition to the experience.



I'm even willing to pay for them $1 or $2 which leads me to an idea about monetizing the game after launch. Make all future map packs free, and charge only for cosmetic stuff like alternative announcers weapon skins etc. That way you will not split the community by "who has the maps and who doesn't", and you can add new and fresh stuff without affecting the core gameplay.



Right now I'm playing non stop the Halo 5 beta and I love every bit of it. The Sprint, the thruster pack, new ground pound ability, the movement and how the weapons feel... everything seems right to me. You did a great job!



Sprinting is very well balanced as your shields do not recharge while sprinting, and you can't start running while under fire.
