I myself am a member of the LGBT community, and I think in these progressive times more -blam!- characters should be pushed into the mainstream. Heck, a -blam!- spartan would be amazing. -blam!- gamers need a role model and this is bungie's opportunity. Discuss.

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.

No. Not that I'm homophobic or anything, but that's just not Halo's style.

im with him on this (not in the -blam!- way)

  • 11.05.2009 10:31 PM PDT

I'm not really down, not because I'm homophobic or anything (I have a lot of -blam!- friends actually), but I can't see what having a homo-blam!- character would add to the game or its story. I could see it being more of a distraction if anything.

WHile I respect the -blam!- community, not very many other people do.

A -blam!- character would immediately be flagged by Jack Thompson as an insult to the -blam!- community, regardless of intention.

Why would the secksual orientation of someone matter in a Halo game let alone any shooter game at all?

I've got it! Bungie should include a useless subplot where the Chief comes out of the closet! Best level yet!

I'm not homophobic or anything but these kinds of things don't belong in a Halo game.

people said the same thing about black people back in the day. Not in regards to video games but other media types.

Racial prejudice =/= Secksual prejudice.

I think that it'll be hard to implement, the fact that a character is ghey in Halo w/o doing something that is inappropriate and will get Bungie in trouble, or w/o adding the stereotypical ghey attitude and lisp, which will get them in more trouble, or w/o a character saying something along the lines of, "I'm ghey."

I'd be nice to implement that idea, but in truth, most ghey people are the same and are hard to tell apart from straight people, so it's better if everyone's secksual orientations stay unknown or become ambiguous.

Overall, it's still a touchy subject that is still causing controversy, and honestly, it'll be hard for Bungie not to get in trouble in some way or another.

well then why the -blam!- does it matter if there is a -blam!- character or not? we all just assume john is straight because... cortana, but maybe johnson is -blam!-! who the -blam!- knows and/or cares? it's a freaking video game and this -blam!- shouldn't matter! If we want equallity to all races, genders, ect. then we need to stop making all this such a big deal.

  • 11.05.2009 10:46 PM PDT

I doubt we'll see a -blam!-ly active spartan, let alone a homo-blam!- one.

hmm i hope bungie will see this a make a g.ay spartan. I think its time.

  • 11.05.2009 10:50 PM PDT

If you read the books, the Spartans never truly developed any -blam!- desire at all

Here is the drug used for this

Catalytic thyroid implant: Platinum pellet containing human growth hormone catalyst is implanted in the thyroid to boost growth of skeletal and muscle tissues. Risk: rare instances of elephantiasis. Suppressed -blam!- drive.

Qz I'm only gonna repear this once, Don't Ask, Don't Tell!!! Firstly, -blam!- orientation for any character in the halo series is speculation! All of them could be -blam!-, maybe in the future everyone is -blam!- and mating is done with test tubes and -blam!-. WE DON'T KNOW and IT SHOULDN'T MATTER!!! Unless you want an obvious, and not subtley -blam!- character then how the hell are we going to know! IT'S NOT LIKE BUNGIE IS GOING TO START SHOWING SEX SCENES IN HALO REACH!!!
