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.
