Alright halo fans. What is the meaning of the Halo game series? Following one Spartan as he attempts the impossible? Or the salvation of the Human race from an assured termination? The MC is definatley a main character and is totally kick-ass.But to me, my favourite character in the Halo series is Sgt.Johnson by far. He is so cool, has those nifty zingers and never panics. And not to mention, he survived the flood AND escaped SINGLE-HANDEDLY from them WITHOUT MJOLNIR armor to help him! He is totally awesome. But when it comes to saying that the arbiter should just die in the third game, your clearly not thinking about the survival of the human race, but thinking about the precious MC being the coolest character in the game. Think of what would happen if the arbiter just died early. 1) Sgt.Johnson and Miranda would have questionable fates, the alliance between the Elites(their allies) and the humans would be compromised. and the human race would be terminated by Truth activating the Ark. Clearly if you read the bungie FAQ about the Halo3 Announcement Trailer, you would have seen the question ("So where exactly are all the human ships in the trailer") or something like that. And bungie replies, they were wiped out or distracted by delta halo or along those lines. It is definatley clear that the Human Fleet cannot withstand the inevitable covenant onslaught that will hit them. So who comes to their aid? The MC with his assault rifle somehow makes a weapon from a destroyed scorpion that destroy's all covenant ships? Or he heroically and unlikley destroys all the attacking covenant ships? I think not. The Arbitor, his army, and Sgt.Johnson and Miranda, who will be needed to show the remaining Humans that there is an alliance. The MC will not make a large fleet out of thin air to destroy the attackers. The arbitor and his army will be needed if the human race is to survive this threat of total extinction. And yes, the MC will get to stop the Ark from being activated in a heroic fashion. The MC will have his glory in Halo3, maybe not as heroic as the arbitor, but the arbitor is key to the survival of the remaining human forces.
P.S If i were to guess at Halo3, Sgt.Johnson was left with some kick-ass regenerating powers left when the flood attempted to infested his mind, and becomes an ultra cool soldier (saying that he wasn't already i'm not cause he sure hella is!) and goes on a rampage being a huge icon on the Human behalf. One big Hoorah for Sarge, you've got to give it to him, he's been through hell and is one kick-ass marine, more than what the UNSC could ever have expected from a Marine like Johnson.
