Re: "In another time, I would have called him frie

In Response To: Re: "In another time, I would have called him frie (Metalingus627)


: I very much doubt 343 cares for the Arbiter and sees him this way, no matter
: how Halo 3 portrayed things. The closest Chief comes in Halo 4 to
: mentioning anything about the Arbiter is "Maybe they don't recognize
: us" on Forward Unto Dawn. After that the Elites are just meat for the
: slaughter again as far as Chief is concerned. 343 turned the Elites into
: monsters. I very much doubt we'll ever seen Arby again in the games, and
: only cursory acknowledgements in the novels until they finally work up the
: balls to kill him and his pesky "Elites can be friends with
: humans" ideals.

: /bitter rant

I think to kill off the Elites would end one of the most promising lines of narrative we have in the Halo universe. The civil war and what it means to the galaxy, the factions relationships with the other species (Brutes, humans, San 'Shyuum.... Forerunner)... these could lead to interesting situations in the future.

It's bad story telling to prematurely end storylines.
