Where has Master Cheif from Halo gone? Halo is changing, for the worse.

You all know that Halo 3 is 360's most successful game. Following the game was Halo: ODST, which introduced a new story, sort of, and a new graphic style. Then there is Halo Wars, which is completely separate, and now there is Halo Reach. I can tell from just watching the trailers, that Reach won't fill Halo 3's shoes. I blame it all on the new storylines. What has happened to Master Cheif. Ever since he dissapearded, Halo has changed. I think it was better when he was the protagonist of the games.

Unfortunately the word "dissapearded" was at the end of your post, so I wasnt able to quit reading from there.

I stopped caring about Halo after the third one came out

All the "new storylines"? I read The Fall Of Reach 9 years ago, before you probably even played video games. The whole idea of Reach is far from new man. And I've been waiting on a game based on that battle for a long time, so get excited. Chief is cool and all, but you have to understand that this game series is not about one person, it's about an entire war.

Halo players should be introduced to spartans with more personality, just hope Noble Six isnt the silent type.gow117

You can be a female in campaign though. Why would they put that option in there? Just to make different noises when being shot? - I dont think so It can go mass effect style and feature romance. Bungie said they were doing stuff in the campaign that will impress a lot of folks. Maybe im overthinking things and he/she will be mute after all :Pgow117

Now that is true they could do something like Mass Effect. And actually the guy from Mass Effect would be perfect because he fits the lines of a Spartan (like MC) perfectly. He sucks as expressing emotion so he would fit right in. Really I would not want him to be the voice of the Spartan at all...

I think Halo Reach will be better than Halo 3

I honestly can't wait. I got tired of the chief after Halo 2 so I don't care what, new, character there is in Reach. Im not saying that I hate the Chief, which honestly, I liked the Chief and he's good and all. I just think getting a New Character would be great IMO, even though we all have to wait until Reach comes out to see If this new "Character" is awesome. Plus, Master Chief was boring as a Rock on Halo 3 (IMAO).

People just hate change, don't they? lol.

That just adds to my dislike to ODST. Don't get me wrong he is a pretty good voice actor, but his voice never changes and he seems to play around the same role again and again in every game. He currently is just like the cliche bald headed hero in video games. Way over used and lame...Agent_Kaliaver

Master Chief is on Reach at that time in the story. You won't play as him, but you may see him.SteveTabernacle

Well I can stand the same voice actor again and again, but that is primarily from Bioware games. But those voice actors that are always in Bioware games are not in like 4 games a year and usually not a main character in any of them. That is my problem with Nolan North. He is not only in so many games in one year, but he is also the main character in almost all of them. I wouldn't mind hearing his voice in multiple games, but when his voice is what I hear for like 40-80% of the game and in each game then there is a big problem.Agent_Kaliaver

What do you mean "...won't fill Halo 3's shoes."? Halo Reach seems like a more mature game, and because of that, is destined to have more memorable parts. Halo Reach gives me the excitement and anticipation Halo CE gave me. This game looks BETTER than Halo 3 in every way. Just because Master Chief isn't present, doesn't mean the new characters are going to be bad.

Thank You!!

Master Chief is like my favourite thing about HALO.

I agree. Where HAS he gone?

The reason why Master Chief was alsways so silent and you never got to see his face was because he is meant to be YOU. SO, wherever YOU go HE will be there ;]

the mastercheif has zero personality and im glad bungie are ending his story for now. you can't really tell how the game is going to play out storywise by just looking at one trailer.lawlessx

firstly, halo wars came out before odst, and secondly, I personally like odst better than any other halo game, master cheif just made the game way to easy

I wish BUNGIE just concentrate on different games now, HALO was awesome but HALO ODST and HALO WARS sucked, iwas happier withwhat they said before, that they'd end the trilogy(and the game) after HALO3(when it was good), now i hope that at least they finish the game with HALO REACH, one comparison about what can happen (to games, series, movies,etc, in general)The simpsons.

^Wars was not made by Bungie :P

And they are working on another project, totally unrelated to Halo

I want a Chief cameo in Reach, and I think in the future maybe Halo and the Marathon series will interconnect.

I've hated all the Halo's up until ODST.. I just hated Master Chief as a character.. He was bland and boring.. I think making a more human character makes the game a lot better.. I'm pumped for Reach.. I already pre ordered it..DiabeticDood

I'd rather fight with an army of Spartan Warriors than have the "last man standing" garbage again and have to deal with thick as mud marines!

To be honest I never liked Chief. Halo 3 was my first Halo and it was ok but I just don't like it that well and I blame Chief for that. He just is not that likeable of a character imo for me cause he is in full armor and rarely says two words. I hate silent heroes! So when you have a faceless silent hero that is even worse. I am interested in Reach though and will check the beta for sure. I just hope the spartans have characters of their own and are not mindless Chief clones in different armors. Not hating on Halo as a whole though because there is no denying its popularity even if some of us do not enjoy it as much as others.

Backstory? The books take you through the life of MC. You experience what he experiences during the moment they happen. As I said I disliked the character as Bungie made him, but liked the character a lot in the books because to me he was a real person. The character in the books to me was completely different. What we saw in the games was a killer full of no emotion and one liners. The books make him out to be a thinker and a much more caring person. He cared for his fellow Spartans, but when it came down to it he did what the mission told him to do. None of this came through in the video games, but then again maybe Bungie never meant for his character to be like that.

So yeah I agree with you that MC is a terrible character in the video games, but the other MC in the books is actually a pretty good one. I am not saying the books make the video game character better because they don't. I consider them to be separate characters.
