Lost in translation

Why do people on this forum always say, "herp how can you not like noble six? Don't you know you're him derp?" That's a terrible argument to defend Noble 6's character. I guess since I play as Master Chief in CE and H3, then I'm MC, and in H2 I'm MC and the Arbiter also.

I don't get why people even defend Noble 6's character. You learn practically nothing about him in the story. He fought, he died. Cool story, bro.

Can't please everyone.
Some want to immerse themselves in the game and feel like they really are the character and feel like it's really them kicking ass across the galaxy. Some on the other hand want to learn about the character, delve into their back-story etc.
See my point?

That's the point. He was just a shade, he didn't need a back story. He was the guy who did a crucial thing then died a noble death.

I liked him, he was a good avatar character, had he been a side character i would have agreed with you, but he isn't, hes an avatar for the player.

MC is a main character, noble team is a main character(s), but noble 6 is a camera.

If I could change a few things in Reach, it would be....

*Get rid of yoinking and medal ( yoinking is retarded )
*Force Bungie to work again and get rid of 343's existence
* A few other things

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

He's more likeable than Chief because he had more personality...not to mention he's me. Playing as Chief is just you controlling him as he fights the Covenant. Noble Six is the player; the idea was that it's you fighting the Covenant, not just you playing as John as John fights the Covenant.

On a side note, saying John had a personality would be like saying the Assault Rifle you had at the start of Floodgate had a personality, or the chair I'm sitting in has a personality.
