I believe one of the reasons people want MC now... | |

In Response To: One Step Forward and Two Steps Back. (padraig08) ... is BECAUSE he hasn't been featured in the last two games. Bungie ensured Master Chief's integrity by employing the age ol' tool of 'less is more'. They actually elevated Master Chief to a legend, a myth, by choosing not to feature him for the last two games. We didn't know exactly how cool he was until he was taken away, and so forth. I'm fine with him returning now, but there's no reason to force Master Chief into a story if it doesn't require him, or not being afraid to kill him off if that's what the story demands. The universe is wide and deep - there's plenty of room for more main and side stories featuring other playable characters. For another example of how a cool character was preserved by the 'less is more' method, see Wolverine in the early 80's. He was awesome. He'd show up and save the day sometimes, he had a character. He was not always in your face. See Wolverine in modern day comics to see how 'more is crap' has for the most part made him a flat, meaningless character thrown into random comics to make money. (Except for the comics where Jason Aaron writes him... and Joss Whedon...) Where once he was in one or two comics a month, now he's in at least 8 a month (Uncanny X-Men, Astonishing X-Men, X-Men, Wolverine, X-23, Uncanny X-Force, Avengers, Wolverine: The Best There Is...).
