While the side characters are somewhat responsible for a small chance of the preservation of the human race being increased, Master Chief was the actual person who ended the war.
Wrong. Thel officially ended the human-Covenant war by killing Truth.You're acting like John wasn't standing right there beside Thel when he killed him? John could have easily killed him, but he let Thel have his revenge.
You're obviously tired of the Chief--I guess that's the cool thing to do since everyone loves him and wants him back. We could have another game with Noble Team. That would be great, right?
Your acting as if John stormed the defenses around truth alone, and he was the only person who was responsible for ending the war.
Um, no. I'm tired of people treating Chief as a -blam!- god who alone did all the positive results of the halo events, never needed any help and never had any trouble. Acting as if HE ALONE saved the universe again and again.
As for a game with noble team. Maybe. Or a game solely about Six. Or a game about any of the other ignored Spartans that get tossed aside like a worthless doll to some fans when John enters the room.I agree with you, he did not storm the Citadel alone. Actually, I see the character he stormed the Citadel with, Thel, just as important as he is. The Arbiter played as big of a role in Halo 2 and 3 as John. Sorry for coming off a bit hostile as I see people trying to be different downplaying John's accomplishments. Honestly, I think of the Master Chief when Halo comes to mind as he has been the iconic figure of the franchise.
That said, I see your point as I've come to admire characters such as Johnson, Captain Keyes, Cortana, Rtas, Thel, Kurt, Buck, etc. almost equal to the Chief. Many other characters have a chance to grow on me such as Bornstellar from the Forerunner trilogy. The Halo Universe is vast, and if games only focus on John then there is a lot of lost potential. I just hope in the future that games about other Spartans are carried out more effectively than Noble Team.
John is the iconic figure of the franchise in my opinion and his accomplishments in the books and games are unparalleled. There is also a lot of other stories in the universe yet to be told that do not contain him.
