Aliens shouldn't speak English

Archived from groups: alt.games.halo (More info?)

I haven't got the game yet (waiting to get it for Christmas because my
parents can never figure out what to get me). In addition, Christmas is not
that far away and it gives my brother a chance to get good so I can face
some real competition for a change...

Now that you know I don't know everything about the game, you can't call me
a dumb-ass for the subject of this message. Anyway, I am told the aliens
speak English. I don't like that. I like the growling noises of the flood
and the funny sounds the Elites made in Halo 1. I used to be good at
mimicking their language, so I hope they still speak their native tongue in
Halo 2. It bothered me a little that The Grunts spoke English in Halo1 but
they were funny, so I guess it's ok. That's all.

Any comments?

everything should speak english; the aliens, the octopus, the blasters,
everything, unless you bought the game in France, or Germany, etc. in
which case they should all speak your language. The game is tough enough
without having to follow subtitles as well. although it might be fun if
the aliens occassionally disagreed with the subtitle-translations and
started arguing with the game...

Babelfish. The cause of more, and bloodier wars than anything else in
creation.
