Master Chief Is Dead, But Not Really, in This New Halo 5 Video

@DrunkenPunk800: He was quite interesting in the Novels.... I cant stomach playing the games though

@DrunkenPunk800: The big popularity of Halo 5 shows that people did care about Master Chief. You also cared to post here and cared to say you don't care.

@DemannameD:

You should just watch the story on YouTube that's what I plan to do. Halo 5 looks pretty bad to me so I'm not buying it but in the off chance I'm wrong I'll be able to see what it offers on YouTube and of I like it I'll buy it and if not well at least I will have known the story.

@DemannameD: You Stopped playing over an out of arc Prequel?

Bwha?

@DemannameD: You mean they lost you at a "Prequel" that had nothing to do with the main story arch of Halo?

@Mogan: "Either you die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villian" Nice Dark Knight reference there.

@Mogan: omg, maybe they'll actually show us Chief's face

but it'll only be one side of his face, charred and mangled by plasma fire

@AzureBonds76: they are going to release the new system in tandem with this game. So you can get an old for pretty cheap going forward.

@playstationzone: English. Do you speak it?

@playstationzone: Your comments always make my head hurt.

@Fandango_Letho: he's a lot less shallow after halo 4, but o still think they should kill him sometime.

He used to be shallow, but that's changing a lot, and it's part of why I love what 343 is doing here. Master Chief is a soldier at his core, bred and trained in only that mindset since his early teens, and at 14 he was augmented to be nothing more than a war machine. He's known no other life outside of military service, and his interactions with even his own race are limited to that capacity. It's only now after the events of Halo 3 that we're starting to see the John's humanity crack his armor and shine through. He's lost a dear friend in Cortana that, digital or not, was always a reliable companion and treated him more as a human being than anyone he's ever known. He's just now reuniting with his team and comrades to tackle something that he believes is what he needs to do - not something he's being ordered to do, and in fact is even being ordered NOT to persue. He's evolving as a person, and as a human being. That right now is what makes him such an interesting character to me, if not a mysterious one.

@Fandango_Letho: Exactly. MC's stuck between being a Gordon Freeman style empty vessel and a Marcus Phoenix style generic shooter tough guy. His recognizable armor is more important to the series than the man inside it. If Halo 5 were the Master Chief's last hurrah, I think I'd be more excited for Halo 6.

@Fandango_Letho: Coz Kratos doesnt wear a suit and a helmet?

I think most gamers find Master Chiefs personality shallow mainly coz of his battle gear.

No face,no personality.

Playing the series from part 1 tru 4( MCC as aexample) would help a bit...or reading some of Halo books
