I would very much hope the Chief of Master rank turns out to be of a gentler persuasion, it would be a fantastic troll by the developers and I would laugh heartily.

However, who really does care, a character can be whatever sexual orientation the developers desire, so long as there is a reason and story to support it.

I thought the topic was about Master Chef, and if Gordan Ramsay was gay :P

I have never played a single Halo game so I couldn't care less if he was gay or not.

That would be absolutely pointless as there's no romantic plot in the story...he could be homosexual for all we know...it's never mentioned to my knowledge..and that's the way it should stay..

Game companies should not start making Gay Protagonists. The Protoganists are Heterosexual because that is what the majority of Gamers identify with.

Come to think of it, I did keep thinking "What am I supposed to do here? I can't identify with this." while I played Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, because I'm not black. Same goes for IV, because I'm not eastern European. Games are fiction. People don't play them because they completely match their lives. :roll:

Gay protagonists wouldn't serve much of a purpose in the games you used as examples anyway..

Canon implies he's straight/kinda had feelings for a girl. It's obviously not a part of the main story, unless you count Cortana. :P

So it would be pointless...because that girl is either dead or gone anyway...and is never mentioned again..and it's still not part of the main plot..or the plot in general..

Pretty much. But honestly, Bungie isn't well known for creating interesting characters in games that are a part of the main story... so it's not like we're missing much. :P

Again, it's only implied, although heavily compared to the last one. But it's the closest thing to a love interest Halo has. :P

I totally forgot about Linda. Well then, that's two girls it's slightly implied he's interested in (mostly because the books likes to describe her through Master Chief's view). I can't remember the source but it was a girl he knew before he became a Spartan that he met again in the future where she was a marine fighting the Covenant. [QUOTE="Snipes_2"] Yeah, In the books he seemed to like Cortana. Even though she's err...not real :P

It's even weirder when you take into account Cortana is essentially a robotic clone of the closest thing MC had as a mother growing up. :P

In all honesty, I think Halo would be less popular if MC was gay.

I don't care personally. I don't even like Halo.

Hm, Rockstar seemed to disagree with the Ballad of Gay Tony. And I'd be willing to wager that they know a ton more about the industry than anyone in this thread.

It's funny that people do not want gay protagonists. It wouldn't matter to me much, although I would be gross out if Master Chief kissed a guy.

You don't play as him. My point was, the entire episode revolves around him.

So? There is the difference.. Outside of Gay Tony be hilarious, I don't see why people would openly care about it inless the character they played specifically was gay That being said it wouldn't matter because Master Chief is neither straight or gay He is a robot pretty much in which you never see his face, and says completely generic things..

So, he said that gay protagonists would serve no purpose in games like GTA. While the entire story of the Balad of Gay Tony revolves around Gay Tony who is, in fact, gay.

It wouldn't change my opinion. I'd be happy that they broke away from the sterotype a la Duke Nukem, but my OP wouldn't change either way. I love Halo, I love the lore. Long live the Chief!
