Read the books, he's not some super hard badass as you're led to believe.
EDIT: Well he is a badass...I meant he's not emotionless
Speaking of the books, I am currently reading them. I have finished Halo: First Strike. I found it incredibly boring. This is also one reason why I started this thread. Still going to read the books so I can learn the background info in them, but I yawn when I see another fight scene coming up.
*Based solely on the knowledge from the book First Strike, I am on my way to reading the others*
I always see these things from the Covenant's (or the enemies') perspective. A squad taking out tens of millions? God damn, doesn't matter the amount of steroids and training and how much that armor weighs, they are still human . If the Covenant's forces are refered to be so powerful, why isn't it shown? Why is it that 3 Spartans in banshees can fly into the middle of legions of the enemy force, and get out with only a single casualty while nuking the place? If I had one of those wraiths, they wouldn't have done any such attrocity.
The only part I found myself near the edge of my seat was when the MC faced the Elite with that plasma sword in close combat. MC was still the badass for pulling out, but he wasn't invincible, and the enemy wasn't stupid.
