In Response To: About the rank.... (Brian Dubick)

: They're right that it's only us fans who ever called the hero of Halo
: "the Marine". That's just some silly thing left over from DOOM,

: "Bobs" who help you fight the Covenant are probably Marines (as
: they were ship-board soldiers, which is essentially the definition of a
: Marine).

: As for our hero's Navy rank, that's not such a bad thing. After all, haven't
: you ever heard of a little organization called "the Navy SEALS"?
: ;D

SeALs, Brian, SeALs.

I would LOVE to see our little SerialSPNKR say that to a real E-9 Master Chief, then try to type on the story forums with a collapsed lung, shattered clavicle, broken arms and a busted wrist.

Of course, why would a so-called 'Cyborg' have a rank of an enlisted man? It seems to me that instead of an E-9 or E-(n), a Cyborg would have something like C-7 or CMU-9. At the very least not a 'human' rank.

Of course, we should be thankful that it IS an offical Cyborg that we're playing as this time.
