I just got why voice acting is bothering me and is not a halo problem
Is a modern voice directing problem, the characters speak like they know there is a camera waiting to make a clip of them between sentences, they have sponsored influencer accent, they - keep - every - word - separated - and -slowly - clearly - enunciated- even - if - there - are - under - heavy - fire then they make a long pause before looking at the camera and start the same dialogue.
They are not talking to each other like in the first cutscene of pillar of autumn when Johnson does his speech he waits like 15 seconds after everyone already left and for the camera to get a close up of his face and murmur the last part like bro everyone left a minute ago, you are talking to nobody, that line is for the players, is a reference for you to get, so you know they put the dialogue you want, make a tiktok clip, not for the characters, it's sad that this is the direction voice acting has nowadays.
