You mean in the game everyone hated? You mean in the game where he shows up for one scene and it's still a cliffhanger? I hope every piece of electronics you own gets fried. SHILL
Yes, finally someone else has heard that dialogue! I heard it randomly and freaked out after. Before this, no one else had heard it and everyone thought i was crazy when i brought it up. Thank you 🙏
@@ARandomSpecOpthe ones who didn’t give a shit and have us empty promises. The new team seem to care a lot more and have given us great stuff so far. That said, I don’t think the monetizing will die down unfortunately
Arbiter seriously needs his own Halo game, like either during the war as a covenant commander (or how he became one) they could also do one about the whole post Halo 3 trying to unify his people.
Nope definitely not. 343 have shown they are completely incapable of making a halo game that the fans want. Let the arbiter live in peace, without them butchering his story.
The fact that we don't get to see the true reunion between arbiter and chief is an absolute tragedy. I ain't just talking about the halo 5 ending where nothing happened. I mean a scene where they have at least a brief dialog.
If Bungie still made Halo it would be just a Chief story, they didn't wanted to use the Arbiter anymore because of the hate the character received in Halo 2, that's why in Halo 3 he is just a secondary character.
I would have preferred Bungie being passionate + not wanting to do Halo 4-6, rather than 343i having no passion + but wanting to do Halo 4-6. 343 dropped the ball three times, halo infinite doesn't even have a proper campaign. I'd hate to imagine what halo 7 would look like. Praying they never release that atrocity.
@@Ken-zc5ow i can agree with that, it's a shame that 343 doesn't have the passion to make Halo games. But if you ask me, Halo 4 it's not that bad of a Halo game, you can say it's a downgrade to the saga, but it was still fun to play and it's campaign was interesting to say the least.
@@xxmr.shitxx412 yep it was super interesting, and to be honest I didn't mind it either due to following the footsteps of Halo CE's story. I beat every game on legendary so I spent some time on each game, and I can't really complain when it comes to Halo 4, I'll go back and play here and there cause like u said the art style switch up is refreshing.
@@arbiterproductions0516you could say the same for Noble Six, but Six died on reach, Reach In Peace B312, and let’s not forget about every soldier you had sent to Installation 04 that you’d assume would kill Chief.
I think he should be brought back as an ally in Halo 7. Since he leads most of the elites now and can be considered an ally of humanity I can see him helping out in the war on Zeta Halo.
I'm not opposed to the idea (it actually sounds like it could be really cool), but I'm not sure how the execution would work. It's stated multiple times in Infinite that nobody knows where Zeta Halo is, with Echo-216 lamenting that no reinforcements can come in, Tremonius blaming Atriox for their stranding, and the propaganda grunt complaining that he can't order premium gas because he doesn't know his own address.
Hey guys! Interesting short, didn’t know how well we bonded with one character across so many games with suck an amount of appearances. Saw Elijah playing Halo Infinite a while ago, tell Rocket Elijah Thj0205 says hello!
I wonder what version of halo 3 is cannon Chief and arbiter constantly together (coop) Chief and arbiter together for random parts (single player) Chief and arbiter escorted by arbiters body guards (4 player coop)
I really want an Arbiter solo game, or a game with him as the secondary playable character again. Would like to see him lead his people and maybe fight alongside humanity again to reclaim his home planet.
The Arbiter in Halo 5 achieves something big for himself and his people. Literally defeating the Covenant presence and influence on his Homeworld, and presumably the entire system.
There is concept art for Halo Infinite of Arbiter and Kelly 087 talking to what appears to be possibly Zeta Halo human natives. It’s a really cool piece.
Apparently, our Arbiter (Thel 'Vadam) is one of the main characters of the second-to-last novel that was released as of now, called The Rubicon Protocol. Looking forward to reading that.
@@Jormyyy Can't wait for his return in Halo: Outcasts. He also briefly appeared in the beginning of Bad Blood, right after Halo 5's ending. I'm still mad we didn't get to see that part in a game.
Absolutely agreed. I'd love to see a game that shows the events leading up to the formation of the Covenant, including an apperance of the Anodyne Spirit.
@@LU-C4 that would be good, but I also wants to fight in the Great Schism. And of course, a couple of missions against the Flood are mandatory. 😤 Wort! Wort! Wort!
When I first played halo 2 I hated the arbiter, but it was only because I was mad the e3 demo wasnt in the game, every level I was hoping it would be the next level, the the game ended and i was really dissappointed. Eventually i got over it, and the arbiter and all the covenant cutscenes became my favourite thing about halo 2 campaign. Man I hope the next halo goes more into the covenant side, the voice acting and everything was a masterpiece.
When I played through halo 3 solo then coop I was kinda disappointed that chief and arbiter were always together, thought it would’ve been awesome if they split up in coop like they did in campaign and did their own little objectives and then met up later in the mission
I remember the Arbiter not being liked in my school when Halo 2 came out because they blamed his levels on why the game had a cliffhanger ending instead of us finishing the fight.
You know what would be cool? If we got an arbiter spin off game that takes place between the 4 years of 3 and 4. Having him fight wars against the newly formed covenant
Tbh makes sense why he wasn't there in infinite, the story is about cheif and some unsc squads stuck on a banished controlled ring, imagine if halfway way for no reason the arbiter shows up and just say "i landed here just now" or "oh yeah ive been stuck here too i just didn't want tell you" more of a master cheif solo mission
I mean Arbiter was at this point the leader of the entire fleet, he would almost certainly have other duties, especially since he gives chase to the Pillar of Autumn.
To this day I stand by the opinion that the biggest flaw of Halo 3 was reducing the Arbiter’s screen time. It may have made sense back then (even though I still agreed he should’ve appeared more then too) but now Halo 3 would’ve been even better if Arbiter had more time to him. I don’t even mean split story like in Halo 2. They could’ve just had missions where Arbiter is player 1. Like Covenant, that’s a very Arbiter heavy mission. Or if Halo 3 was made today they could’ve had alternate stories. So all the time Chief is alone in a mission, is played by player one. And what Arbiter is doing at that time is played by player 2. That would’ve been cool.
Stuff like this shows 343 have no idea what they are doing. There is SO much that could be done with the aftermath of the Human-Covenant war, from so many angles and getting to see Arbiter handle the "what now?" after the war is over is one of them. But all we get is "somehow... the Covenant returned", then the Banished, the redder, meaner and edgier Covenant, and a bunch of plots that go nowhere around those two.
A big problem is that Halo 3 ends on a perfect note. The war is over, there's still a lot of healing to be done, but the various races can start on the long path to reconciliation. Lord Hood can't forgive the Sangheili, but there will come a time when forgiveness proves unnecessary because everyone will have forgotten, thid whole ordeal will have faded to history as all wars do. John's fate is uncertain but both him and Cortana know their chances of being rescued are near zero. And it's just as well, since he isn't needed anymore. The world doesn't need spartans anymore.
@@karhu7581 Yeah, but Microsoft are a bunch of greedy fucks who would never let Halo die on a high note, so I'm being realistic with what could have been done. The Halo story should have ended at 3
There is speculation that the Elite that hugs Johnson in the Legendary cutscene at the end of the Maw was the Arbiter before being given the mark of shame, but i dont think thats confirmed. I like to believe it tho
They need to make halo game that let us play arbiter only story could have it as you needing to fight against rebels or something even a possibility of commanding troops would be fun make it like halo wars with the halo first person ability where your a commander and be able to call in for troops armor ir anything hell this even be a fun online halo shooter tournament type deal.

Meeting the Arbiter again in Halo 5 was arguably the best thing to come from that campaign.
And Buck being there too
@@OscarMelon1 buck is great in Halo 5, I agree
And seeing master chief kick the shit out of a spartan 4.

Yes, finally someone else has heard that dialogue! I heard it randomly and freaked out after. Before this, no one else had heard it and everyone thought i was crazy when i brought it up. Thank you 🙏
@@braydenpage1808sadly this is probably all we’ll be getting of him since 343s entire story team was gutted😔
We do know what he was up to shortly before the opening of infinite because of the new novel, but what he’s been doing since no cour

@@ARandomSpecOpthe ones who didn’t give a shit and have us empty promises. The new team seem to care a lot more and have given us great stuff so far. That said, I don’t think the monetizing will die down unfortunately
I'll always remember his war cries whenever he charged enemies in Halo 3 when he's following the Chief. Keith David did an amazing job.
Keith David is an OG, I was first introduced to him as Anderson from Mass Effect. After that, i've picked up on his voice everywhere. Love him
He’s in saints row to lol
And Modern Warfare 2, he likes being in game sequels I guess. Especially because he's also in the remaster, like for halo 2.
He will forever be my favorite Spawn

Arbiter seriously needs his own Halo game, like either during the war as a covenant commander (or how he became one) they could also do one about the whole post Halo 3 trying to unify his people.
That would be sick AF

It happens in a book lol
@@BookerDierden I know, what the fuck, why didn't they let us see it.
And technecally one of the ships in Reach was the Arbiter's ship from when he was a fleet commander.
The Arbiter was also mentioned in a ton of HALO books
He's also gonna be in Halo: Outcasts, which is supposed to come out later this year (a day after my birthday, actually).
So much potential. If only Bungie created Halo 4-6
Bungie didn’t want anything to do with halo after halo 3. It was their idea to give the franchise to a new studio
If Bungie still made Halo it would be just a Chief story, they didn't wanted to use the Arbiter anymore because of the hate the character received in Halo 2, that's why in Halo 3 he is just a secondary character.

The Arbiter was also in halo CE Anniversary, if you check the thumbnail of ‘The Silent Cartographer’ you can see Arbiter holding an energy sword.
Glad it wasn’t just me who saw his model in the Mission Select picture
That isn't Arbiter. That's the elite you kill in the mission who locks himself behind the door.
Tel Vadam his THE Arbiter.
Hey guys! Interesting short, didn’t know how well we bonded with one character across so many games with suck an amount of appearances. Saw Elijah playing Halo Infinite a while ago, tell Rocket Elijah Thj0205 says hello!
Halo wars arbiter was a menace and one of my favorite antagonists in halo
I wonder what version of halo 3 is cannon
Chief and arbiter constantly together (coop)
Chief and arbiter together for random parts (single player)
Chief and arbiter escorted by arbiters body guards (4 player coop)
One is flesh and faith and more deluded and the great journey is a halo array firing.
I really want an Arbiter solo game, or a game with him as the secondary playable character again. Would like to see him lead his people and maybe fight alongside humanity again to reclaim his home planet.
I miss him😭
Arbiter was in Legends. He was the Elite that Chief fought in the Package
That was 'a' arbiter. That arbiter was a coward. Can't believe it's 'our arbiter' since he never was a coward.
If only the Arbiter appeared in Infinite, sadly 343 wants us to suffer.
Keith David became and still is my favorite voice actor because of halo, but he's done so many games now that he just kills it in
Arbiter cute as hell
If you crave more Arbiter, read the Kilo-5 trilogy
Arbiter is such a good character, it's a crime he doesn't get more attention.
We also see him fight against the forces of Ultra Tech, General Raam and Rash in Killer Instinct (2013) :D
Halo Wars Arbiter was an absolute CHAD. "Hmph, Demand?"
The Arbiter in Halo 5 achieves something big for himself and his people. Literally defeating the Covenant presence and influence on his Homeworld, and presumably the entire system.
Halo 5 Arbiter reminded me of Jonas Savimbi from bo2
i remember pre halo 5 days where the speculation of the arbiter being playable locke is johnsons son the simpler times where ignorance had us excited
The left handed elite at the end of Halo: Reach is implied to be the Arbiter we're familiar with.
There is concept art for Halo Infinite of Arbiter and Kelly 087 talking to what appears to be possibly Zeta Halo human natives. It’s a really cool piece.
We need Arby back soon!!! His voice actor isn't getting any younger!!!
He appears multiple times throughout novels and comics
I'd love an Arbiter solo game where he unites Sanghelios under one banner
Apparently, our Arbiter (Thel 'Vadam) is one of the main characters of the second-to-last novel that was released as of now, called The Rubicon Protocol. Looking forward to reading that.
Me and my little brother when we went back to play Halo CE used to pretend that the gold elite in some levels was the Arbiter.
I just want to see our boy again.
Should have his own story game.
He was in Killer Instinct 2013
yea
You could mention book appearances, such as the Kilo Five trilogy. It might encourage more people to read them.
Kilo Five AND Cole Protocol!
@@Jormyyy Can't wait for his return in Halo: Outcasts. He also briefly appeared in the beginning of Bad Blood, right after Halo 5's ending. I'm still mad we didn't get to see that part in a game.
Don't worry, he's much appreciated in Killer Instinct
He's busy in the Killer Instinct universe right now
And in Halo Reach: Thel was the ship commander who glassed and caused the fall of Reach
We definitely needs an Halo game focused on Sangheili and their wars. 🤔
Absolutely agreed. I'd love to see a game that shows the events leading up to the formation of the Covenant, including an apperance of the Anodyne Spirit.
@@LU-C4 that would be good, but I also wants to fight in the Great Schism.

Man I hope the next halo goes more into the covenant side, the voice acting and everything was a masterpiece.
WE NEED ARBY IN ANOTHER HALO GAAAMEEEE!
I like to think that a particular gold elete in CE with a sword in the library was him, and no matter how you killed him was simply a KO instead.
Bro arbiter is currently throwing hands with fucking general raam In killer instinct
One thing that should be mentioned is mostly the screenshot in the mission select of Halo CEA that is there. Just in the picture of mission select
I WANT THAT ARBITER PLUSH
When I played through halo 3 solo then coop I was kinda disappointed that chief and arbiter were always together, thought it would’ve been awesome if they split up in coop like they did in campaign and did their own little objectives and then met up later in the mission
Crazy how he went on to be the president in the Rick and Morty universe
Man I would kill for a Halo Legends 2
OUR arbiter is Thel Vadam, who is also leader of the sangheili, so after infinite he's probably just gone home to sangheilios
All fans wanted was to see Arby n the chief again but they did us dirty.
I remember the Arbiter not being liked in my school when Halo 2 came out because they blamed his levels on why the game had a cliffhanger ending instead of us finishing the fight.
You know what would be cool? If we got an arbiter spin off game that takes place between the 4 years of 3 and 4. Having him fight wars against the newly formed covenant
he didn’t show up in reach but it’s cool to know he played a big role in it
I was lucky enough to get an arbiter figure signed by Keith David with his quote and it’s one of my prized possessions
Tbh makes sense why he wasn't there in infinite, the story is about cheif and some unsc squads stuck on a banished controlled ring, imagine if halfway way for no reason the arbiter shows up and just say "i landed here just now" or "oh yeah ive been stuck here too i just didn't want tell you" more of a master cheif solo mission
He was shown in halo reach terminals aswell
arby was my first space alien bf.
Arbiter was primary in the halo 3 story from my lil bros pov
well, at least he was in killer instinct
He was also the elite who glasses reach
a halo reach theory has the arbitor being the last elite to walk into frame in noble 6's death scene
I mean Arbiter was at this point the leader of the entire fleet, he would almost certainly have other duties, especially since he gives chase to the Pillar of Autumn.
Halo 2 and halo 3 were supposed to be the same game. Microsoft was pushing deadlines. That’s why Arbiter / Spawn. Isn’t really in H3 so much.
We need more Arby n the Chief
He was in killer instinct
That is the only thing that I like about halo 5 campaign is that the Arbiter is back

Keith David was a great choice.
Are we not gonna talk about him appearing in halo reach at the end💀💀💀💀💀 (its an easter egg in the cutscene)
Grand triumphant return? This dude must’ve been under some crack or something to say arbiter’s return in h5 like that
You forgot ... he was on reach
According to Joseph Staten, Halo 2 was the Arbiter's game.
I mean he has an actual arc in that game, has the final bossfight, and gets a cool teamup moment with Johnson. Of course it's his game.
AAAAUUUU WOT WOT WOT
hes the main character to me
We need to make 343 add Halo 5 to MCC collection, I need to play all games and this is the last one.

My favorite character is random elite hero as player 3 and 4
Halo finite will definitely be the last halo glad your were excited for it bet you still play weekly
Ends the clip with, but what about?

In reality it's just dumb.

If the arbiter new what Locke was doing I don’t think he would’ve helped
My guy❤
He also killed Noble Six in Reach!
Hey don't forget he was in killer instinct by the way
Can you say hi to the Arbiter for me
fulfilling moment??? you know he shoves a sword through Truths back right???
I feel like not only was he missing from infinite, but where was the entire of the Spartan IV program, and blue team?
I love jrapics
Guys remember he has a name the arbiter is just a role not his name
It makes sense he isn’t in infinite because you are fighting the banished not the covanent
Thel 'Vadam is awesome
I don’t know. The Arbiter keeps showing up in this video.
