Steve Downes, the voice of Master Chief in Halo, condemned the White House for using his voice and likeness without permission in a viral March 6, 2026, social media video promoting U.S. military actions in Iran.
The video, which combined real war footage with clips from movies and video games, featured his iconic line “Finishing this fight” and drew criticism as “disgusting and juvenile war porn.” Downes demanded its removal, stating he was not consulted and does not support the message.
