CoD is a good game, even if the Halo series are better in some aspects. Anyone who insults either is just bad in that game. Grow up.

It doesn't have to explain where he is or what he's doing at that point because it's not his story. It would have been nice if they had given him a role in the story, but they didn't have to, it's a story about Noble Team, and Chief does not figure into their story.
And you still don't get it. I mentioned this point pretty much from the beginning, and yet you still don't understand its significance. The point is not whether it's his story or not, it's the fact that this is an event that involves EVERYONE in the story, and from what we know, added with common sense, then it just looks retarded that the Chief did not become involved with the last mission, if he was in fact extracted before hand. He definitely didn't get picked up after as the PoA jumped as soon as it cleared the planet.
Let's look at this. If MC is picked up prior to the last mission ( the PoA, not lone wolf cuz that doesn't really count)
Why didn't he participate at all? If the Onager was so important, why were there no defenses? Instead, Emile and 6 had to fight through an army of covenant soldiers before they get to the area. So why wasn't MC sent down to secure the area before hand? I mean, if you're going to send the Captain of the ship to pick up the package, why wouldn't you make sure it's safe? 3 Spartans is better than 2 Spartans in my book.
I have never heard the term "Onager" before, do you mean Cortana, or do you mean something else?
If you're talking about Cortana, then there was no time to gather a defense force to escort the Package, Reach was dying by that time and if they waited for more forces there wouldn't be any time left. Did you not notice the battle going on beneath the Autumn? It is not improbable that Chief was sent down there to keep the Covenant back on that front, also, we did not ever see what was going on on the other side of the Autumn, my point is that Chief does not have to be at the LZ, he could be at any point along the defenses already and be en-route back to the Autumn, and quite frankly I don't give a damn because I am not so critical of a story that I have to have every single little detail laid out or else it sucks. The area already was secure, the Covenant started pushing in again once Emile and Six arrived at the LZ.
The Onager is the mass driver...read up before you post. The battles on the ground could easily be handled by other forces, do you forget that there were pelicans and tanks and warthogs on board of the PoA? Hell, they even had Long Swords...this is besides the point...Cortana was the highest priority at that time, and the more defense the better, so why would you keep MC away, especially if the Captain himself was going to be there? The area was not secure if it can get run over by the covenant so god damn easily. I don't even recall that many marines there, if there were any.
It's not the fact that I need to know every little thing, but rather that by logic this new canon would definitely cross path with the old, and yet Bungie decided to just ignore that flat out.
