Subject: John's new appearance in Halo 4

John should just get out of the game already. He makes me feel that the game is for whites only.

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

He just looks, more advanced. Which makes sense, since this is a futuristic scifi game. I'm not saying that I like the change, but it's a new game, by a new developer, it was only expected.

Don't bring race into this.. It's irrelevant and honestly isn't worth discussing.

The books never really say that John is white. FoR mentions him being fairly tan/ light bronze as a child, most of the characters in the books are. The idea being that humans in the future are thoroughly mixed racially. John is described as un-naturally pale since he's in his armor most of the time so aside from downtime he doesn't get a lot of sun to keep the pigment in his skin. If you look at Noble Team, they're not not easily identifiable racially; Jun's got a Chinese name, looks Arabic and has a Slavic accent. Kat looks like she could be half white-half Asian. Carter looks Hispanic. It was kind of weird that Emile who sounds black and was shown to be in the concept art, but Bungie decided to never show his face. That kind of annoyed me, but I think Bungie did that to make him more of a faceless bad ass and wasn't intended to offend anyone.

If John had the same armour, people would complain about it getting stale.

If it changes, then people would complain about his aesthetics getting overboard.

It's a new trilogy, so I think it's time that Chief's up for a little change?
