Although most fans were already pretty confident Jeff Steitzer would be returning as the voice of the multiplayer in 343 Industries' upcoming release Halo Infinite, it's now been officially confirmed.
In the latest 'Ask343' YouTube video, a fan asked if Jeff - the "true sounds of Halo", would be returning in Master Chief's latest outing as the legendary multiplayer announcer.
343's lead audio technical designer, Chase Thompson, was able to confirm he would indeed be coming back. Here's exactly what Thompson had to say:
"I couldn't agree more, there's nothing better than hearing a classic "Double Kill" from the announcer. And I can confirm - that yes, Jeff Steitzer will be back and we are super excited to see how fans enjoy the new VO (voice over) for the multiplayer experience."
If you need a quick reminder of Jeff's previous work on the Halo series, here's what he sounds like when a player is on a streak during a match:
Steitzer has been voicing for the Halo series since the original game, so it's great to know he'll be returning.
Are you looking forward to Halo Infinite's multiplayer component? If you need something to do while you wait, there's a Double XP event taking place in Halo 5: Guardians this weekend.

I just need to see gameplay with the new graphics! Everything else is noise.
@Dezzy Thereās not gonna be a whole new graphics in one year sorry mate donāt set false expectations that it somehow will start looking like Hellblade 2. Halo has never been about that.
@Senua
The screenshots they released do look quite different to the original footage we saw. They clearly changed the lighting style.
I thought the game looked fine graphic wise anyway seen as the game is coming out on Xbox one aswell..wasn't a big deal to me....but as with all things that are once loved people turn on them and look for reasons to hate...welcome to the sheeple race
Really pleased that Steitzer is lending his vocal talents to Halo once more, wouldn't be the same without him. I remember how jarring I found the Destiny multiplayer announcer when I first heard it. Still grates today. No one can beat Jeff.
@Dezzy Yeah they have upgraded the rendering pipeline. Expect improvement in textures, lighting and shadows.
@Senua
Right, well that's all I'm talking about. I just want to see it in motion at 60fps and 4K, which I assume is the target for Series X.
I play mp with Exuberant Witness on halo 5. It's nice to know someone is eager to see how well I perform.
Halo is gonnna be huge at launch, I hope there servers can handle it..
You won't need Xbox live gold to play multiplayer on halo infinite , I hope they bring that to halo MCC aswell
DOUBLE KILL
TRIPLE KILL
KILLING SPREE
Now let's get the legendary composer so we can have a good sound track.
@Senua lmao worst troll ever, why even reply to the article if you aren't a Halo fan but clearly a fan of Hellblade, the first game is literally a walking sim
@Would_you_kindly they are doing it for all FREE games and free MP services though, why do you think MCC will offer that? that's the money maker
Slayyyyerrr!
@magicismoney Who said I am not a fan of halo? In fact Halo is one of the main reasons why Iāve always been team Xbox. I just donāt like people setting false expectations for a franchise which has always been way more than just about photorealistic graphics.
@Senua why would you even bother to compare Halo and Hellblade then? this article doesnt even mention Hellblade lmaooo you are one of those types eh?
@magicismoney I only gave Hellblade 2 as a prime example of a game where you can set very high unrealistic expectations for photorealistic graphics otherwise even a dog knows that they are poles apart in terms of genre and gameplay aspects. For me Halo has always been more about the story, universe, gameplay experience etc. Thereās always a certain visual artistic direction that every Halo title follows. Anyways you have clearly shown your inability to read this particular context. Iām all team Xbox and team Halo Infinite so thereās no point in continuing this pointless discussion. Peace āļø
@magicismoney they said when this releases it won't require gold to play multiplayer on it
@Would_you_kindly and im saying they would never do that with MCC because that's a huge revenue stream still to this day
@Senua you literally commented as if 343 didnt post visual updates a month ago that make the original gameplay footage look like Roblox
but whatever dude, you wrote a whole ass paragraph to prove nothing so how would i even begin to get my point across to you?
