You remember that guy, that one 'random' NPC, that one surviving cop in data mind? He runs around with a shotgun, kills...things, and talks about stuff that I payed attention to a bit, if only enough to take my mind off of the Legendary-endowed grunts.

I liked following him around in the first part of the Data Hive. On my first play through I was surprised to see how useful he was, distracting Jackals and killing Brutes. I found him kind of interesting, as a bit of relief for the Rookie, being the first guy the Rookie teamed up with on the ground. He also pack a bunch of firepower in addition to being invincible, making him probably the only useful unnamed character in all of Halo.

I was actually a bit sad near the end, when the Drones showed up, because for that one segment of a level, I was given hope, given faith, given a new chance. For that short while he was with me, I felt protected, safe, I felt sure that I wouldn't die while Shotty Buddy was with me.

R.I.P. Shotty Buddy

You do know he was a corrupt cop going to make sure someone (sadies dad) died, and then if you have all 29 audio logs he tries to kill you...

the cop that deserves an ode to is the guy on NMPD HQ who wrecks the covenant with his turret then gets smashed

Think before you post

I give an ode to all those marines who willingly hop out of the scorpion and let a real man use it, its not easy giving up that kind of firepower

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

When you don't have all 29 audio logs the cop dies, when you do have all 29, he tries to kill you so you won't get the 30th audio log. He sucks at killing me, even on legendary.

I give an ode to The cop, in the audio logs, that helped save saide.
