Most people see Master Chief as the sole most important character ever. Why? He is the only spartan in the games. If you don't read the books, you don't even know about any other Spartans. The problem is that the majority of gamers can't read.
...Ok that was a little harsh. But seriously, the story isn't near as powerful without knowing about the hardships humanity actually faces. It's not all about the games you know.
So why is this important in the Reach forum? Chief isn't necessary to make it Halo. the storyline is. This is why Halo Wars failed to deliver. The story was way too linear and predictable.
If Chief is in the games, it means that we follow the story of the book Fall of Reach. No fun there....unless you neglected to read it. Which would make it fairly new to you. But for me, I want some new material.
