We have seen the trailer that introduces Halo Arbiter as a guest character in Killer Instinct. Well 343 industries explains that their is a lot to take in when you look at this killer up close. One comparison is that this is not the Arbiter from Halo 2 but a representative of the race in general. They also touch on the difficulty getting the character into the game as
“I was asked before we’d launched Killer Instinct if I had thought of any guests that would fit well into the game.” Says Adam Isgreen, the Creative Director at Microsoft Studios assigned to the Killer Instinct franchise. “Without hesitation, I said ‘Well Arbiter, of course… but we’ll never get him.’ Over two years later, you can’t imagine how happy I am that he’s finally here!”
For those who are wondering what this warrior of many weapons bring to this battle field don’t worry. We have that info for you as well
Type-51 Carbine: The Type-51 Carbine holds 18 rounds of radioactive ammo and fires three-shot bursts. Once the magazine has been emptied, gunshots are replaced by melee attacks.
-
Plasma Grenade: Sticky anti-personnel plasma grenade that detonates after a three-second delay. Throwing distance can be changed by pressing Forward or Backwards. Grenade blast can harm both players. The Arbiter carries three grenades, replacement grenades are salvaged over time.
-
Energy Sword: The Arbiter carries a master-crafted Covenant Energy Sword or Thel ‘Vadam’s personal blade – the vicious Prophets’ Bane.
-
Combat Evolved: Arbiter can tack on a Plasma Grenade or fire his Type-51 Carbine to deal additional damage after performing a Throw, Energy Sword strike, or any Ender.
There are also easter eggs to look for if you have the time between ultra combos and shadow counters.
“The Arbiter’s stage is the Arena of Judgment, located near the ruins of Nuusra. In the distant past it was a place of discussion and debates on matters of Sangheili honor, hosting Kaidons and Arbiters competing in a battleground of ideas and philosophy. But time is cruel, and now this forum hosts a different kind of judgment.”
As always thank you for reading.
