Heck no, that comic book superhero should have died at the end of H3. Get a main character who's actually human, like the Arbiter (I don't mean literally human, of course). Someone who is fallible and dynamic. Better yet, maybe someone who is a little morally ambiguous at times.

Characters like MC need are among some of the things that need to stop, if videogames are ever going to be accepted as a serious art form by the general public.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Personally, I think John's story would be better explored in a novel, not a game. The majority of Halo's community wouldn't have a clue who Mendicant Bias is, or that the Legendary Planet isn't Reach.

I just want a Halo RPG on the same scale as something like Dragon Age, Mass Effect or the Elder Scrolls, that would be epic.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I liked playing as the Rookie and the other ODSTs. I didn't like playing as Noble 6 nor did I like the Reach campaign. If Bungie didn't make Reach I would have been content with waiting to play as Chief. But, after playing as Noble Six, I wanted to play as Chief more then ever.

I think that resting for 2 games ( 3 if you count halo wars ) is a decent amount of time. i dont mind not playing chief, but just knowing that he is back and part of the story again. perhaps you fight alongside MC as just a normal soldier....i dunno. just knowing he isent floating in the middle of space would be nice

Everyone knows it's Sangheilios, and that Mendicant Bias is the floating light-bulb that brought Johnson back to life.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Yes. He is Halo's main character really. I want to know what happens to him.

I'd rather have Buck and his squad back.

Think of the entire squad as a character, Rookie, Romeo, Mickey, Dutch, Buck. Rather than just The Rookie. The way the ODST campaign worked encourages this idea too.

Though I do want to know what happened to Chief, I just don't want another game with him as the main character.

I don't fully trust that source.

Hi, I'm the one who wrote the post that the user claiming to be the author Tobias Buckell responded to. When he first posted, I was worried it was a hoax, but I looked into it and am reasonably certain it was indeed Buckell. The user also posted as that person on a blog for authors of tie-in novels to share their experiences. If it's a hoax, it's an incredibly elaborate hoax that someone planned for by setting up what looks like a legitimate blog several months in advance. Considering that the claim is something so trivial--that the Dirt character is the Rookie--I think it's reasonable to conclude that it is legit. A group of Halopedia editors used to users making blam up agree with me.

I say let the man REST for heaven's sake. Saving galaxy 1 time is enough for retirement with benefits and those benefits are not being forced to saving the galaxy AGAIN!
Let more take up the role of Paragon. Hes done enough, seen enough and killed enough. Let the man rest.

Mario was able to do it.
Why not Master Chief?


Because he isn't a fat Italian plumber.

Yes, I'm a girl, stop asking.

Republic Commando fans look here.

"This is the way the world ends, not with a bang or whimper, but with zombies breaking down the back door."

I really do miss the Chief. After the books and games he's become my favorite video game character, especially after seeing him be more human in Dr. Halsey's journal. It's true he's done a lot and that he deserves a break, but I think that it won't last forever and he will have to fight again before the end.

hello i am nobel six lololololololol

"The enemy came. He was beaten. I am tired. Goodnight."

"I think Reach is a pretty cool guy. eh drives froklifts and doesn't afraid of anything."

I'm quite tired of the Chief. I was spoiled with the whole 'create a Spartan' thing with Noble Six.

It's kind of like how Rainbow Six Vegas 2 lets you create your own soldier--Vegas 1 is a lot more boring now.

It's a Mass Effect joke. Good guys are Paragons, bad guys are Renegades. See also: Paragade, Renegon

Read the books. He's often conflicted between being a stoic leader fighting for all humanity and doing what is morally right.

He save Johnson's ass at the risk of the entire human race for example. We need more of this in Halo 4.

Well 343i will most likely be creating a Halo 4. Halo 4 should end the story of the chief and start off another story within the Halo Universe.

Indeed. He was going to do the 'Good Soldier' and hand the info which would have damned Johnson, then after seeing the admiral's sacrifice he gave the other data cube.

That is what I want to see from Chief when we see him next (rumored CE remake, halo 4, novel, movie, whatever...) I want to see his troubles and low points as well as his successes.

Everyone, 343 Industries is making the next game, why post in Bungie when BUNGIE is done?! go to the halo way point site to discuss the next Halo geez

A) This is all hypothetical.
B) We don't know anything about 343's next game, it may well not be a sequel to Halo 3.
C) This place is for discussing the Halo Universe, that's what we're doing.

Hell yeah i want the chief to fight one last epic battle

  • 03.05.2011 10:32 AM PDT

"Wake me...when you need me."

We will always want games with Master Chief Petty Officer John-117. He is a hero.
