Re: "Master Chief"? Female characters?
Posted By: Brannon Boren <a-bboren@microsoft.com>	Date: 11/26/01 4:12 p.m.
In Response To: "Master Chief"? Female characters? (Loren Petrich) : First, why a name like "Master Chief"? How about "Master : Blaster" or "Tin Man"? But those names might seem too : irreverent to use in some official publication. As someone else correctly pointed out -- this is the character's rank, and all the soldiers address him as such. A female marine of equivalent rank would be addressed the same way. : Also, are there any female characters of our species in the game? There are female characters peripherally in the game (in cinema and over the comm channels), and female Spartans are represented in the novel -- something I personally pushed for (and which Eric Nylund delivered perfectly). Including a female Spartan on the cover of the novel would have been cool, but we just didn't have time to do it. There are not female marines along with you in the game for purely technical reasons, having to do with character models and voice audio.
