Master chief still has little to no development, even with halo 4. He's bland and generic.

Just call me Whitcher

Onion Invasion was on the spot randomness that I entered when I first got xbox live. I have changed my GT once.

If I go of topic, It's known as Whitchering

Really they gave the award to some robot -blam!- piece of -blam!- who I doubt has any development.

Well there's your problem. Claptrap actually becomes a really well developed character with a backstory and a motive to pursue the quest against handsome Jack.

Character of the year was actually an award that fans could vote on. Clearly more people thought Claptrap deserved it.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

I get it OP.

Just wanted to let you know someone does.

.....How? He's almost as silent as ever, a little more badass. Only thing I dislike is the armor

Right because Master Chief is such a compelling character.

because they ruined him in halo 4.

Ah yes, giving a character an emotional side that we've never seen. He needs to stay a hardcore silent military god.

No


But he's a silent military god. He has never propelled himself through emotion.

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

What are you on about? Look OP if anything it's ridiculous that Handsome Jack wasn't even on the list. I had no doubt in my mind that either he or Claptrap would win. They have been the only characters I have felt any real emotion for in a video game ever.

Make a thread saying you will counter any argument against armor lock...

Then respond with Adapt.

I <3 Halo:Reach - amazingly fun and best campaign + amazing Soundtrack
I <3 Halo 3:ODST - best soundtrack + Firefight + Coastal Highway and Mombassa Streets, amazingly unique campaign.
I <3 Halo 3 - best multiplayer levels + Forge + best Custom Games + soundtrack
I <3 Halo 2 - amazing huge fun campaign + soundtrack + Fun multiplayer
I <3 Halo: CE - started it all

The moment I knew claptrap one, i knew people would go around claiming how bad Halo 4 is, and how bad they made Masterchief.

Gah. Some of you haters who just blatantly hate everything about Halo make me feel pathetic to be a gamer.

Ah yes, a generalized statement of superiority from someone who spelled won wrong and who clearly does not understand how grammar works. Go on about what is clearly YOUR opinion and definitely not one you formed from reading idiotic posts on here.

Claptrap is a strong character from a strong game series. He has a crap ton of development in Borderlands 2 especially, heck most of the characters in Borderlands 2 are well developed. Master Chief was never intentioned to be a strong character, he was meant to be strong. He was made to be inhuman so the player could more easily assume his identity. No I am not making that up, you are welcome to Google it if you don't believe me. So the entirety of that argument is really moot at this point.

As for the mass amount of hate on Halo 4, there is a reason for it. Yes we are blatantly hating on it, seeing as the definition of blatant is open and without shame. I am not ashamed to say that Halo 4 is by far the worst Halo game that has been made. I do not like Halo 4, because unlike previous games in order to get the full story I have to not only play through the game, but have to find all the terminals, go onto a completely different application to watch them, and then on top of all that wait to watch the cutscenes of a weekly crap fest. I have to then pay extra to get the rest of said story for an indefinite amount of time to continue watching said crap fest.

Are you seeing the problem yet? I have to go off of the game itself to get the full story. God help me if I didn't read the books before hand, because as has been show numerous times, those who didn't know next to nothing about the actual story. Oh and then paying extra to get the full story? The fact that the story itself is piss poor and held up entirely on the fatal romance between Chief and Cortana. Since when did the action in the action game take the backseat?

You are an idiot, I have my own opinion, disagree with me if you want, but look at who the one is throwing poorly structured insults about superiority around. Yeah.

This.


OT: Handsome Jack should've been nominated instead of Claptrap.

"So- So this means Im just going to be miserable for the rest of time?!"

"No. This means that you have to live life to the fullest. You have one life, live it well. Make sure you die without regrets. Get a new life, new mate, new family. You, out of all people, don't deserve a terrible fate of misery like that. Having nothing to look forward to is good. It makes sure you want to keep on going. Living is a right, not a privilege."

They voted for Claptrap as a joke.

He isn't the character of the year to me.

The reason he was silent and nonemotive was the same reason the game was in First-Person: so that the player could have a more immersive experience and be able to really envision themselves "behind the visor", as it were, and as if they were Master Chief. The cutscenes and bits of him talking were nice pallet cleansers that subconsciously reminded the player that this was this character in a universe all its own, but the point was that you were playing as yourself. That's the point of the FPS genre, to see things from your perspective.

The more emotive you make an FPS character, the less immersion there is in the game. From there the game becomes less engaging and, overall, less fun.

Because he's one of the most generic characters in the history of gaming?

Lee Everett should've been character of the year.

THAT, fellow floodians, is how you make a true character of a game.
