Arbiter?

[Fed452]

Alright, so I heard on another site that Arbiter would be in Halo 4, and that 343 confirmed it. But I've searched through threads on here and no one else seems to think so. I was very curious as to if he'd be in it or not, he pretty much replaced Sergeant Johnson as my second favorite character (since johnson died ;-.

Does anyone know if he will be in it or not?

[SatanicBagels]

well they most certainly did not confirm it. And from what we know about Halo 4 through video, pictures, and deductive reasoning it doesn't seem like a likely thing for Halo 4. Bringing the arbiter back is something for far later Halo games or a Covenant Background video game.

 

Welcome to the website!

Our wonderful little corner of the internet!

343 confirmed that the Arbiter will NOT be in Halo 4's campaign but that you do run into him in Spartan Ops

Wow that is awesome. Would you by chance have a link to this? I don't see why the Arbiter couldn't be involved in the campaign. He doesn't really have a reason not to be there. Now I am not saying that he would be an AI or a playable character again. But I just want him to be involved or be in a couple cut scenes.

Arbiter for Halo 5!! (hopefully)

[Drizzy_Dan]

I shall edit this post with the link as soon as I gain access to my laptop again. It got a damn virus and I need to buy a new antivirus software and install it

Adding onto what Drizzy_Dan said earlier, they also said that he will play a mostly diplomatic role.

I do clearly recall Frankie himself saying (it was either on NeoGaf or Waypoint) that the Arbiter would return in Spartan Ops in a diplomatic role. Hopefully he'll return to his full badassery in future games.

Hopefully he'll still be alive by Halo 5 as a whole load of crazy ass Monks with some heavy fire power are after him.

I could see myself talking with the arbiter... Like:

Me: Wazzap?

Arby: Yo wazzap?

Me: Nothing, Wazzap?

Arby: Yo, help me kill these elites, wazzap?

Me: Hell yeah, dude, wazzap?

Arby: yeah, wazzap?

Me: Yeah wazzap?

Arby: Careful, wazzap?

Me: Awe, I've been shot, wazzap?

Arby: Man down, wazzap?

Me: Damn, I'm dead, man, respawnin in 3 secs, wazzap?

Arby: lol yeah, wazzap?

That just rips my heart strings that he won't be in it /: I hope he's in the later games. He's pretty much my favorite character </3

arby is one of my favorites. however at the end of halo3 he and halfjaw split to sanghelios because they wanted to find out what was going on, on the homeworld. it would had been cool if they did like a halo2 thing where half of the missions are arby missions. it would be cool to fight on sanghelios. killing all the brutes and elite loyalists. and then becoming a diplomat by the end.

well the games have to follow the story, the books... so thats maybe one of the main reasons arby wont be in halo 4.

halo reach btw didnt follow the story of the books, and so, it wasnt such a success as the other halos.

Well, as much as I would like the arbiter to return in Halo 5, the canon says his age is around 67. Hes getting a bit old for this don't you think?

Sangheili don't age like humans do, they have longer life spans

[D-Wade]

I hope Arby will be playable :/

[TristanX11]

The Arbiter is my favorite character in all of Halo; and as much as I'd love to see him again, 343 will not be featuring him in Campaign, however, he will be making an appearance in Spartan Ops.

 

This specific Halo focuses more on John and Cortana's bond and more of their history. So I'm sure as the next installment roles by he will be in either 5 or 6. I hope.

[Archon]

I honestly wish I did not hear favorite secondary character since Johnson died.

 

Because now I was reminded... and now I'm crying about it again. That's so depressing.

[Des Feux]

The Arbiter was a really honorable character. Unfortounatly this is about John and Cortana. I just imagine him giving you the briefing for the net spartan ops mission, that would be nice.

[Sierra 119]

Hope we can at least fight alongside him at some point.

He`s my second favorite character in the series and was really hopeing he`d show up in Campaign as an Ally.Oh well.....

[Sierra1117]

Sometimes I wish he the front of the Forward Unto Dawn didnt split, and Halo 4 would be about the relationship between Arby 'n Chief. But then we wouldn't be able to explore Cortana and Johns relationship which is more interesting IMO

[Barack Obama]

So... When do we see him?

[TheGodfatherS117]

Maybe in Halo 5...

[Yoshi1176]

I wonder what he looks like and if he would still have his old armor or unsc special made armor any way back on subject i hope he comes back in either 5 or 6

[GruntNoober]

I hope he is in Halo 5, I loved him as much as Masterchief in Halo 3 :L
