It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

Cheeto is the only one among you that doesn't suck.
I thought that they were too generic. I love Halo, don't get me wrong, and the characters were by no means bad, but they were hardly unique.
The guy who likes to kill stuff, the guy who uses big guns, the guy who leads the rest, the guy who snipes and makes jokes (Romeo, anyone?), the intelligent, tech user person, and then the silent type guy.
These are all pretty generic, across the board video game/action movie character personalities that see way too much usage.
The characters need to have more personality quirks, need to be darker, less straightforward heroic.
Carter needs to make tough calls that gets a lot of people killed. Kat should be envious of Carter's role as leader, since she is pretty much as capable, if not more so, as a leader than he is. Jorge is fine, he's pretty soft, and that was his character flaw.
Emile needs to be wreckless, his desire to kill things leads the team into unnecessary danger, and probably has gotten people killed in the past.
Jun was a smartass, but all he did was make comments. He should have been downright disobedient or insubordinate. He should have questioned every order that was given.
That would make for a much more interesting story than a big group of supersolder heroes who have no character flaws whatsoever.
