Honestly I think I may get attacked for saying this but I think I came to the realization of why I only like playing the Master Chief in a FPS Halo game and why Halo games that force players to play other characters over the Chief are shit in comparison to the ones that have you play Chief exclusively.
>1. Expanding the universe This should be exclusive to Halo novels, comics, Halo Wars series, and other media not the FPS Halo games. I give two shits about alien politics, love life relationships, feeling sad for a dying planet, or learning all about the lives of individuals. I just want to shoot aliens in the face and be worship as a god.
>2. Making the main character a weak nobody This is Halo's other major issue, when you play the Chief you are worshiped like a god and the enemies fear you, but as Arbiter you are a disgraced commander on a suicide mission, as the Rookie you are a new member (a nobody), Noble Six you're just a new member of a team, not a leader, and as Locke you're just some guy who was once an agent (who literally gives a fuck).
If Halo's devs really want to make FPS Halo games without the Chief, then they better start making characters that have the same appeal like the Chief. Chief is like Halo's version of Samus and Doomguy and developers always seem to fuck this up when they make a FPS Halo game without him.

Then play another franchise that's actually just about that. Halo never has been.
I liked arbiter missions. Disgraced but badass and saving your race.
Jace Bennett
The Arbiter was a good character with an actual story arc.
Jose Davis
Jesus christ shut the fuck up.
>implying anyone still gives aa shit about halo after 343 took over
Levi Cruz
Who cares. Halo is one of the shittiest franchises ever, from its very first game.
Jason Perez
>a disgraced commander on a suicide mission nigga why would you NOT want to play that it's rad as fuck and I liked Reach's campaign
Chase Richardson
>Halo OP you need to be at least 18 to post on this board. Please go.
Daniel Anderson
Halo 1 came out 19 years ago...
David Brown
I second everything this man is saying Godspeed good sir
Samuel Hall
Yeah, this guys right. 343 literally killed Halo and fucked its corpse.
Juan Thomas
That doesn't change the fact that anyone who thinks anything good ever came out of the Halo franchise must be an underage faggot or at least have the mental age of one.
Ryan Robinson
>reach
Andrew Ortiz
When will this meme end its been 7 years
Jaxson Reed
Reach was the turning point where bungie said yeah we should stop this series.
Ryan Perry
This.
Hard to believe Perfect Dark, a game from a previous generarion still manages to outdo every single Halo game in every department not related to technical stuff.
Jordan King
When story is > gameplay you fucked up.
You shut the fuck up bitch, I want to be looked at as a god when I play Halo I want my enemies to fear me. What the fuck do your retard ass think made Doomguy and Samus so loved in the first place you, retard?
Connor Rivera
>Halo 4 >Chief has been MIA assumed dead for years >UNSC forces find him on some far off alien world >no one seems to give a single fuck >some are openly hostile
Ryder Rodriguez
How was the gameplay bad for arbiter?
Samuel Butler
Well some of the marines you run into in the game kiss your ass like Halo 1-3 but the shitty Spartan IVs that no one likes yeah they were pretty shitty to Chief.
Cooper Hall
All of his missions either sucked ass or was mediocre as hell, no one even liked Arbiter until Halo 3, you know why? Because his storyline wasn't being forced down peoples throats and he was a badass just shooting aliens in the face with Chief.
Matthew Bennett
>no one even liked Arbiter until Halo 3 I did.
Julian Green
Fuck off being able to play as Arbiter and subsequently Arbiter and Chief is the best part.
Gabriel Cox
No it fucking wasn't, Arbiter literally ruined what could have been a great campaign. Halo 2's only saving grace besides its multiplayer was Chief's missions and now 343 made the same fucking mistake Bungie made in 2004. When the fuck will these developers learn. Bungie and 343 needs to take note from id on how to make a Halo game with an iconic character because no gives a shit about their massive universe in a FPS game that's why we have novels, comics and Halo Wars for that shit.
Logan Rodriguez
Arby didnt ruin the campaign the massive amount of cut content ruined it.
Angel Reyes
This.
Caleb Kelly
It was literally Arbiter, mixed in with cut content. Arbiter missions were so shitty that it dragged down the entire campaign experience, the cut content didn't help. You can clearly see why everyone enjoyed playing Master Chief over Arbiter. with Chief it seem like Bungie focused on the gameplay the most making Chief's levels enjoyable, as Arbiter Bungie put way too much focus on the story that the gameplay and levels suffered greatly.
