Subject: Blah!

Um... I like Halo? I don't really know what to say. I'm a student at the moment, I hope to become a criminal profiler, and I enjoy pretty much everything as long as it's good.

-blam!- this -blam!-, this thread is closed.

Subject: Bungie already messed up, why keep trying?

The Rookie in Halo 3 ODST never talked and didn't have a name and that's what made him really lame in my opinion. If they never gave the Chief a voice or a name he'd just be some lameass in a suit just like the Rookie. They give you a description of the Chief in the books and that's fine with me. Giving the Chief a name and voice gives him a personality.
Showing his face might ruin his near legendary status because a lot of people will think "that's totally not what the Chief looks like" and people will have crazy fits of rage.

I don't think the idea was for them to make you think you were the chief, but rather to just have your own idea of what he looked like.

You are not seven feet tall are you? No
I suppose you think he should be the same height as you, and not kick arse.

Your argument does not make sense.

unless of course you really do kick arse :D

I completely agree with what you have said.

You're totally not understanding me. I don't mean that Chief should be exactly like me. I mean he should be a blank slate that we could project our emotions and ideas to what is happening on-screen. And I'm 6'4" and I'm pretty sure I don't kick ass. :P

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed, knowing better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives: not men, for flags.

You do realize he spoke in Halo:CE, don't you? This seems kind of like a moot point to be making.

Probably because you have no imagination. In my mind I picture the Rookie as a kid who had to join the army because his parents were killed by the Covenant, and the reason he doesn't talk is because he is suffering from an extreme type of PTSD.

Did I not just say that. I said that they failed since Halo:CE.

I picture the Rookie as a bland character who is mute, has no emotion and is basically a robot. He does what he is told and he wont say or do anything about it even if he likes it or not.

Thank you for proving my point. In all honesty I wouldn't care if Bungie didn't show the Master Chief's face as long as they didn't keep the charade up.

Stop PMing me if you are group recruiting.

They "failed since Halo: C.E.", yea, if failing includes being the flagship game for the original XBox, selling millions of copies, expanding into novels, comics, and action figures. Yeah... they failed >_> stfu troll.

A name is not much, to go on.
And a voice gives an amount of personality, but not a whole person.
His character is such that there isn't really that much to him. He is a pretty blank character, but in relation to other characters he has to have some personality. It's not like he's just some nobody like the rookie. -He's the Chief. All we get out of his voice is "i'm big and i'm masculine, and my girlfriend lives inside my head."
Other that he's a pretty blank slate. There isn't that much personality to this character, leaving you to fill in the blanks as to why he does what he does.

Did you read my point at all?! I was never even talking about whether or not the game was good, the games are amazing, I was just talking about one aspect of the Halo experience...TROLL!!!

Master Chief (Petty Officer) is his RANK dumbass, not his name. He gets referred to as Master Chief, Spartan, and Demon WAY more than John or John-117. His face is his helmet, if he didn't talk that would take away his badassness, he barely speaks and when he does it's awesome.

And yes, I read your point, but opening with "Bungie Failed, Why Keep Trying" is a retarded topic and says you are a troll, fool.

Don't you think I knew that? Of course Master Chief is a rank, numbskull! His name is John, and even though my name is John it still breaks the feeling for many people, therefore Bungie failed at this aspect. And am I talking to Mr.T? Who the hell says "fool" anymore. Anyways the title is appropriate, Mr. Troll.

Yea, I'm the troll and you are taking a crack at Bungie and yet you say they messed up at square one with Halo: C.E. although you have service records for the sequels.

And yes, people do still say "fool", fool. Because that's what you are, a fool.

You can't imagine yourself as Master Chief because he is a 7 foot tall genetically enhanced super soldier in a half a ton armored suit. Don't know most people like that, now do you? We are only meant to see the war through his eyes.

If you are saying that Halo was ruined because the most epic-est main character in a video game had a name, you are an idiot. Humans usually have names, dumbass. Point out one game where the protagonist doesn't have a proper name.

Otherwise, /thread

Girls, Girls. Settle down. I'd think you'd stay on topic in your own forum. Jeez.

Though, I do get both of your points. I think it is important to note the fact that MC doesn't really get referred to as John in any of the games. (As far as my memory goes.) Only in the books is he referred to as John, which I think is pretty crucial in a novel, where you need more of an identity to the character that is not player controlled.

From now on. I will completely ignore you and only listen to other people. And since we're on the topic, you are the fool.

bungie has proven that a bunch of monkeys sitting in front of keyboards can randomly type out a masterpiece. the thing is, when you go to play the masterpiece, you cant help but notice all the monkey s**t smeared all over it.

it gets real old having to wait months for someone like mlg to clean off all the monkey poo.

his face is hidden and his dialogue is kept sparse for a reason . he can be whoever the player wants him to be. show his face and the charade is gone. he loses most of his mysteriousness and alot of what makes him interesting. he is better as a bad azz mother clucker then just another soldier
