Boo.... I was hoping the Arbiter Died at the end of halo 2. No offense, but my group did not enjoy the Arbiter experience. Especially not having a choice as to play him or not. It is the reason we did not " REPLAY " Halo 2 more than One or Two times. Many of my friends put the game down and never even finished Halo 2 cause they were turned off by seamingly "Sleeping with The Enemy". Like myself, I wanted all covenant and elites DEAD ! It was good for plot I'm sure, but the Chief is the only way to Play Halo ! Any way you guys can keep his parts in "Cutscreens only" this time around? I mean after all , we may as well play Unreal which has a number of different characters .. Oh but wait, that's why we don't play Unreal! Please tell us Th MC will be finishing the Fight and the Arbiters spaceship crashed and he died on his way back to earth so we don't have to play him again. Or maybe The Arbiter can be that NON PLAYABLE Goofy sidekick that just kind of shadows the Chief and makes Stupid jokes... but not playable!!!!! Please have him die. Unfortunately, I had to Play The "End" sequence for most of my friends cause they wanted to see the ending of Halo 2. If I hadn't done this, they would just have not cared. Keep the Arbiter in the Novels and Comic books where he belongs, leave him in the game as an enemy yes, but as a playable Ally ? NO!!! or just leave him in the Novels and comic books where he belongs.
Well there's my 2 cents.. go ahead and flame away kids!
