Del Rio, hands down. In stark contrast to a lot of the other characters in Halo 4, that man is nothing more than a walking cliche of a -blam!- that somehow was promoted to the point where he captains the largest ship in the Human Navy. His acting is TERRIBLE, I have shown the "I'm ordering you... TO SURRENDER THAT AI!" scene to some of my non-gamer friends and they all burst out laughing at how terrible and unbelievable the scene was.
They could have made him a billion times better, easily. Cast him as a reluctant captain who just doesn't have enough information to risk the lives of his crew to face this new and terrifying threat, there's no need to turn him into an object of utter hate and derision for the player.
We might be soul mates. Del Rio was just too unbelievable for the storyline, jarringly unreasonable and irrational;
"What I want to know, people, is where the hell did those things come from?"
Hmmm... probably the GIANT ALIEN PLANET. They came from the giant alien planet Del Rio, oh man that line aggravates the hell out of me.
Prime example of awful awful script writing.
