Look, if you hate the pre-battle speeches, you hate them. But..

What does a pre-battle speech have anything to do with Halo or EA or console gaming in general? It's not like a speech is going to convince anyone to buy it. It's just a (very) childish attempt an an insult.

Besides, they're already skippable.

Rome's didn't really bother me, but the cheesy accents were laughable. It did have some good points, though..particularly the units that hurl insults before battle. Some of the speeches themselves were actually pretty good, but were fairly rare. Most were just generic.
