H2 Truth reminds me a lot to Darth Sidious. Michael Wincott and Ian McDiarmid are two great actors portraying psycopathic and cold-minded antagonists.
This and Dr. Breens speeches are very fun to listen to and compare.
I listen to this sometimes to make me feel like there is hope in the future.
0:42 the only time anyone has ever spoken with any kind of confidence against the flood
Him and the forerunner guy from halo 4 sound a lot like each other
Thou in faith shall keep us safe lest we find the lath
Need this as AI dialogue for Halo 3.
You should do The Graveminds lines during High Charity and Tartarus during the mission Gravemind.
Best villain in halo. Like ever.
I didn't knew that I needed this
Halo is the greatest non Nintendo game franchise
This is a solid John Hurt impression
I hate that they changed Truth's voice for Halo 3. They should do a remaster just to replace his voice with the original.
Mr. Scroop!
If you turn on subtitles truth will say "it was tartarus and his boobs"
He’s definitely the Rita Repulsa of the Covenant
i wish he was voicing Truth in the new show.
Anyone have a video of this but with Tartarus’s dialogue
I wish we get him again in a future Darksiders
My man
“Be glad!!”
*Human Flood Combat Form: Oh by the way which one of you knows how to fly-WOAH HOLY SH-(Boom)*
OMG if they'd had gotten hurt. That would have been epic!
I listen to this and the only thing that comes to mind is Death from Darksiders lmao
1:47 yes. Yes you will.
Really disappointed that the VA didn't want to return. My guess is he wanted more money and they didn't offer it. Which would have been worth it vuz his voice makes a big difference. Unless the asking price was unreasonably high.
Si los pendejos de 343Industries hacen un Halo 3 Anniversary seria excelente que sacaran del retiro a Michael Wincott y re-grabara a Verdad.
He sounds just like John Hurt
It's Top Dollar!
hey please make a soundtrack where you play the high charity soundtrack with all these dialouge
Can you do the same with regret lines? Pls
0:49
