Where there was more dialogue from Chief [laughs] in Halo 4 than in Halo 1, 2 and 3 combined, which I loved.
Ryan McCaffreyHOST
I loved hearing more of Steve Downes and hearing more from the character, and I loved what that campaign did narratively.
Ryan McCaffreyHOST
I thought the combat was super tight, the new guns were great.
Ryan McCaffreyHOST
But the multiplayer was lacking.
10 MINS LATER
Ryan McCaffreyHOST
And so I, I think, I think it's time.
Ryan McCaffreyHOST
I think it's gonna get rebooted.
Ryan McCaffreyHOST
Now, I don't know, you know, quite how they'll do that in terms of do we, is it still Master Chief? Do we recast Steve Downes if it is? Et cetera, et cetera.
Ryan McCaffreyHOST
Is it new characters? You know, what, what's it gonna be? But, uh, I, I'd be curious to your thoughts.
NickHOST
In what is great news for Halo fans right now, a full cast audiobook has been announced for The Fall of Reach.
NickHOST
And it will feature Jen Taylor and Steve Downs as both Master Chief and Cortana, respectively.
NickHOST
But the book came out 25 years ago with the release of the original game.
NickHOST
It was written by Eric Nyland.
NickHOST
The full cast audiobook will release on November 10th to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the franchise in general.
NickHOST
Like I said, Steve Downs, Jen Taylor reprising their roles.
NickHOST
which it will feature the voices of the Grunts, Halo music, things like that.
NickHOST
We don't know who else is in the cast, but it will be a fully casted version.
DevinGUEST
Like, the Mark VI armor that is, like, really powerful in ingratiating you to him in a way that...
DevinGUEST
Steve Downs has to act in Halo 4.
DevinGUEST
And he does it spectacularly.
DevinGUEST
I already told you guys that some of my favorite Chief moments come from the Sandra Tilson stuff.
Atomic SquidHOST
Okay, yeah.
DaveGUEST
Um, Steve Downes, and I, I do, contrary to what a lot of people b- believe, like, or what a lot of people like in the community, at least a very loud, outspoken part of the community-
Atomic SquidHOST
Hmm
DaveGUEST
...
Ryan McCaffreyHOST
But stick around, I will be right back with plenty of your awesome phone calls in the Ride the Lightning hotline coming up next.
Steve DownesSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This is Steve Downes, the voice of Master Chief Sierra 117.
Steve DownesSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You're listening to Ride the Lightning, the Tesla unofficial podcast.
Steve DownesSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You know, that Cybertruck looks a lot like a Warthog, doesn't it? Master Chief out.
speaker_5HOST
And I remember not knowing his actual voice when listening to that until the very end, when it switches him to talking as guilty spark.
speaker_5HOST
And I was like, wait, what? Um, But having, you know, Jen Taylor, Steve Downs, and Nicholas Royce all voicing their characters in Edge of Dawn, it makes sense that, like, that would be the choice.
speaker_5HOST
Of course.
speaker_5HOST
Because if more books could do that, I think it would be insane.
KeithG077HOST
'Cause at HCS last year, we...
KeithG077HOST
When they were revealing the Campaign Evolved trailer, we were in the back of VIP 'cause one of our friends that was there had VIP and said, "Hey, you guy- You can come in here." And we're just standing there, and he has no idea what Steve Downes or Jen Taylor look like, right? 'Cause he-
MasonGUEST
Yeah
