Re: Upon further consideration.

In Response To: Re: Upon further consideration. (Metalingus627)


: You know, every re-imagining I've had of Halo 3's story included an Arbiter
: "side" campaign. It wouldn't have to be a full 10-mission stint
: (this would eliminate the problem of having the Chief as an NPC), but at
: least it would have given the Arbiter the respect and share of the story
: he deserved. It could even have been a DLC or hell, a replacement for
: ODST. Instead, Bungie went with the "We don't want to play as the
: Arbiter!" cry-babies and good ole Thel 'Vadamee became nothing more
: than a sidekick.

But a good sidekick. And he does get one really great cutscene where he gets to chew scenery like a madman.

With those two headed back home, and presumably a Covenant to re-unify under a new principle, why not do Halo 4 with those two as the main characters?

Best way of continuing on with Halo without stepping on the toes of the Master Chief's arc. Leave Earth, leave the UNSC, forget the Flood. Go with continued Covenant civil conflict, or introduce a new threat, or, you know... both.
