Re: Seriously

In Response To: Re: Seriously (Endbringer)

: From the various discussions I've seen or participated in it often comes down
: to one of two factors. They either believe that MC should be the only
: focus of the Halo games and don't particularly care about the Covenant
: side of the story, or they don't mind having a Covenant side of the game,
: but didn't care for the way his story was handled. Arguing that switching
: between the MC's perspective with the Arbiter's as often as the game did
: hurt the immersion of the story.

Obviously I don't know for sure, but I think the reason is pretty simple:

Every level you play as the Arbiter is a level you don't play as the Chief.

Look at the popularity of the Spartan model compared to the Elite model in multiplayer. The majority of players prefer to play as a Spartan. For the most part, I don't think people dislike the Arbiter because of his character. They just don't like that nearly half of Halo 2's campaign is spent playing as anyone besides a Spartan, and take it out on the character they have to play as.
