“If I had more skill in what I'm attempting, I wouldn't need so much courage”
Lets face it, we all love Halo and have become part of something greater than really has ever been conceived. Superman, James Bond, these 2 iconic story lines have become embedded in most 25+ year olds heads. What they hold is something that lies within our minds, its the idea of 1 man can make a difference, 1 man can do great things. However, in the Halo universe, we are for the first time really immersed in a reality that displays how a team is formed and forged in battle. The Master Chief, is for all time inexplicably etched in our dreams and fantasies, the team of Spartans, now has a firm grip on the idea of the team. Without the support of Marines and other support personnel, the Master Chief, would not be where he is. What this means is, we all know the Master Chief, now we get to meet his brothers and sisters.
What is the emotional effect that this new story line will have on us? I believe that it will only bring us closer to knowing who the Spartans are. What goes on inside their heads when not in battle, what they think of when a comrade is lost by their side. We have read the books and know that Master Chief holds Sam close to his heart and the death of his friend has laid heavily on his mind. The faceless Master Chief, has effectively allowed each and every player globally to lend their own personality to the Chief character in the game, we know is voice, but the relevance of not seeing his face, brings us closer to really feeling and knowing what is going on inside a Spartan.
This new chapter, will in my opinion, not only intrigue and boost our morale, but bring a whole new level of emotional connection to the characters and game.
