[QUOTE="lordseer"][QUOTE="JAMES_L_BROOKS"] [QUOTE="ATrillionaire"]Halo has the best story I've ever experienced in a video game. The problem is, that story isn't explained well in the game, and I, too, wouldn't understand much of it had I not read the books. The books are wonderful science fiction fun, and trust me, they really open the story up in the game. Maybe Bungie should clue people in who only play the game on some important elements with a free fiction guide or something.JAMES_L_BROOKS
you clearly have not read,watched, or played that much....

[QUOTE="p2rus"]" Master Chief is the embodiment of a hero who gives himself to save humanity. That is what MC is as a character. His actions / heroics speak to who he is. They don't need to spend the game developing a backround for him because it wouldn't fit with the flow of the game or the story in the game.
Halo also has very developed and complexed enemies, and they take the time to develop them rather than having them being mindless drones like every other game. Even the AI is represenative of the personalities of the enemies you are fighting"
wow sorry but i did these things called commentaries for english class...
and this reminds me of it so bad.
u just toook some expresionless character from a video game and mixed in hype and advertisments from both 3rd parties and ms, and then got "a hero who gives himself to save humanity"
u even use the line "a hero need not speak, others will speak for him when he is gone"
and to not need a background...sorry but thats kind of the idea with close emotional connection to a character..

He is a character (inc cliche) who's actions speak for himself. Delving deep into master chief's past would not fit the game or its story. The story is made to function in the game and it does that.
"Deep" "revealing" flash backs into MC's past would interupt the flow of the game and distract from the overall conflict being portrayed in the game. I am willing to guess we will become much more attached to the Chief when we see whatever conflict surrounds cortana and see his reaction. They will pull us into the game through empathy for the character and his current situation, not his past.
Seriously I can think of no other way to round out MC as a character in the way that some of the people here would prefer to, other than through flashbacks, and in the first two games, they simply would have detracted from the pacing.
One brilliant thing about the all hated advertisments and hype for this game is that they can supply us with information into the chief's past with commercials like the one where he is lying in the grass as a child and then it fastforwards to his jumping into a fight. We'll have to wait and see how exactly Halo 3 portrays MC and exactly what manner they choose to do it in.
Yea, I agree. It seems though that in Halo 3, MC is gonna have some more personality and show some more emotion and still kick serious ***. If you wanna know the awesome Halo story, read the books, that's what they are for. His actions especially do speak for himself too. He expresses anger, sadness, and sarcasm through his actions and little speech.
