Subject: Most overrated character in the Halo series?

Who is the most overrated character in the Halo universe in your personal opinion?

I, personally would have to say the Master Chief, John-117.

We should know better, because we are better.

Master Chief. I would say Johnson, but Contact Harvest developed him well.

Yeah and Johnson died and according to the 'fanboys' (aka Drones) that means he 'sucks'.

Yeah I don't get it either.

心の中に弱い風が吹いています。

Fredric-104 or Noble Six. I'd really like to see more backstory to both and a continued place in the Halo fiction for Fred. Glasslands touches on Fred a little, which is nice.

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

I'm going to have to agree with the Chief, the sole reason he's so loved is because he's the iconic face of the series. Hopefully with the Reclaimer Trilogy we'll actually get a reason to call him a good character since he's going to be developed more.

You honestly can say with a straight face that Noble Six is more overrated than Master Chief?

Insanity.

Sgt. Johnson. Hands down.

He is not the most overrated character in the Halo universe. He is the only overrated character. (Okay, except for those Arby fans.)

Blasphemy!

But seriously, Arbiter is overrated. I worship him like a god:

There are approximately 17 individual Arbiter appearances in the H3 campaign (excluding cutscenes).

Arbiter's needler can home in on cloaked Brutes.

Arbiter can use the beam rifle against certain enemies when he's in a vehicle.

It is possible to allow the Phantom to leave and keep Arbiter while having a second Arbiter and Mythic + Tilt skull turned on. Simply stick him with a spike grenade.

It is possible to stop Arbiter from leaving in the Banshee if you destroy the Phantom.

When Arbiter hijacks your Hornet, he ends up on top. Bringing him as an hostage to an army of angry Hornets is not going to guarantee your salvation.

What the hell! Johnson was the best character in the Halo series. Why? Because he was a character. None of the others had anywhere near as much personality and background as this guy who achieved a lot in the storyline. Besides, he's just plain badass.

Master chief. Easily.

I'm sure some people in these forums (or used to be here) would say the only reason chief got beaten in that e3 stuff is cause it's forerunner. Anything else and he'd win easy.

Same guys that say the original halo 2 e3 Earth level? At the end chief really would've won close quarters against many spec ops elites using energy sword *rolls eyes*

Where is this elusive scene of Master Chief getting beaten I keep hearing about? Link?

The e3 gameplay of halo 4 for campaign. Chief gets tossed by a forerunner thing and hesitates. Then at the end one jumps in and slices at him as screen goes black.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I don't think the Master Chief is overrated.

Definitely Master Chief.

His running animation in H3 looks good but that's all it is and it's a horrible trade off. A fast Chief is more fun to play as, not a slow walking tank that can't strafe for his life.

You can honestly say that, while keeping a straight face, that Noble Team is more overrated than Master Chief? Even though almost every argument about who is better between Noble Six/Team or Master Chief I see on this forum includes a whole mob of angry pre-pubescent Master Chief fantards ganging up on the Noble/Reach fans with a bunch of snide comments to the degree of "well MC didn't diez lolololz" and almost every poll I see is somewhere in the range of MC-66.6% with Noble getting somewhere around 33.3% always.

You can honestly say that, despite Cortana having full access to Master Chief's vital systems 96% of the time, despite Arbiter being physically, technologically, and skillfully matched damn near with Master Chief, with Didact possessing technology so many lightyears more advanced then Master Chief's, with Frederic coming in second in damn near almost every competition, with Noble Six breaking entire militia and covenant organizations, with Noble Team having a monument (as in Washington Monument style "Monument" literal "Monument") erected in their honor, despite 343 Guilty Spark coming within a hair's breadth of killing the Chief after bringing him to his -blam!- knees, a little orb of light barely larger than my goddam television screen, you can honestly say with a straight face that Noble Team is more overrated than Master Chief, or any character for that matter? You're crazy.

U mad bro?

Sounds like somebody hasn't read The Fall of Reach. Seriously, it improved my opinion of him quite a bit.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Yapyap.


Hands down.

Arbiter will most likely die in the new novels.
