Actually I think you should know that Link and Sonic are the, “flat characters”, (literally speaking). And as far as depth of background and history goes (NOT ENOUGH ROOM TO START ON OTHER ASPECTS OF THE GAME), MC is firmly rooted in the best story line imaginable. PROPS TO BUNGIE!!! BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!!
If you are going to argue the generic aspect of Halo you need to remember what characters you are defending, PUNY, LINK and PETHETIC, SONIC, a couple of 2D characters (referring to early titles) that don’t have 3 books of “background” written about them, nor a solid story that can stand up to harsh scrutiny.
Who can really feel any emotion for a hedgehog that can run really fast or a boy named LINK (what the hell kind of name is that any way) who runs around in a fantasy world with no explanation for the nonsense that ensues?
However, Halo deals with a boy who was taken from his parents at a young age to be trained as the ultimate soldier and becomes mankind’s last hope against an undaunted, infinitely superior foe, which seeks the ultimate and merciless eradication of the human race! HOW COOL IS THAT!!! Halo’s story is much more realistic and the events that take place can be very moving (at least they were for me) i.e. Admiral Whitcomb and Lieutenant Haverson’s sacrifice for Earth, Dr. Halsey’s “choices”, the numerous Spartans that died etc…etc… All these events and many more that take place are way cooler than anything that could happen with Link or Sonic. There is absolutely no comparison.
Why would you dare even state an opinion like that, saying that Halo, MC, Bungie and all it’s MILLIONS of fans do not deserve this great honor, any where, LET ALONE ON THE GAMES OWN FREAKING FORUM!!! MAY YOU RECEIVE SWIFT JUDGMENT FROM US ALL COME NOV. 9TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
