clenching my FIST it's so important to understand that even though chief knows the galaxy is a tough place, even though he's not truly a "dumb" character, he is often too trusting. it's outside his control. he tries to assess people and judge character and be reasonably suspicious and he's just not suspicious enough.
it's actually one of his best qualities. it opens him up for vulnerability by putting him at a disadvantage at times, and it's a disadvantage that other characters who aren't built like your grandma's refrigerator (or, you know, have no physical body) can cover for him.
it helps you put him in situations AND helps him be likable because it points to some hope and kindness to others in his nature, even when chief is so frequently a quiet and closed-off character who can appear judgmental and cold due to his silences.
chief is not good with people but he fundamentally, at his core, likes other people and wants to help them and believe in them. despite his history, despite what has been demanded of him and done to him, chief can and does still extend an open hand.
Sergeant Johnson in Halo: Campaign Evolved
I honestly love villains like Atriox. He's the perfect balance of brutal emotion & anger and cold tactical intelligence and it makes him SO intimidating. He's vengeful, vindictive, violent, clearly capable of deep anger, and he atleast somewhat cares about other brutes as we see with how he treats Cortana for destroying his homeworld and how he threatens Chief before he chucks him into space.
But he is also patient, intelligent, tactical, and considered, as we see with how he beats Chief "surgically, completely, totally" and, again with how he treats Cortana.
He's an evil, insane, violence worshipping bastard but he's clearly a sentient, evil insane violence worshipping bastard and that makes him all the more threatening.
Halo Campaign Evolved spoilers below
Did the bonus missions first since they're prequel missions (though based on difficulty and the fact that the menu placed them second, I think the intent was to play them after the campaign. Anyway.), then Pillar of Autumn. Here are my thoughts in case anyone wants to yap with me:
Chief and Johnson banter right out of the gate!! Holy shit, they let Chief be a bit silly again!!! The way I grinned when he said, "You're always hungry" :'3 Give me a whole campaign with these two.
The Helljumper beef with the Spartans was a good nod to the books; also just very interesting to watch in and of itself. I do wish there could've been a moment where Chief did something just outrageously cool and the camera panned to Williams being starstruck lol. Though I did still have a moment where I said out loud "she's beginning to believe" when she commed Chief like "I guess the propaganda isn't all fake" or whatever it is she said. Also Chief being the bigger man (figuratively and literally, heh) and trying to reason with her was great. I love him.
THE CUTSCENE WHERE CHIEF AND JOHNSON GO THROUGH AND ONE OF THE COVENANT CHUCKS A GRENADE AT CHIEF, WHO CATCHES IT OUT OF THE AIR AND RETURNS TO SENDER!!!!! SO COOL!!!!!!!!!! I'm always here for Chief doing cool shit. More, please.
I do think the gameplay could use a bit of fine-tuning in places. For instance, the Hunters go too fast and there's seemingly no way to break aggro, so at no point was I able to aim at their backs. Maybe I just suck though who knows.
Loved the closing cutscene with Johnson where you see him about to decompress only to immediately jump to attention again when Halsey comms him. Very good show don't tell character moment. Also "at my age, they're all kids to me" 😩😭 Johnson deserves his own game frl.
Jen's performance as Cortana is um.......idk, it falls flat compared to the original. I really felt it with the delivery of "With all due respect, this war has enough dead heroes" but there were other line deliveries that just did not hit the same. She sounds too...smooth? Not sure how to explain. Jen, girl, put your whole chest into it. Idk who told you to play Cortana down, but you need to ignore them.
I love the subtle changes to the cutscenes though. And a Miranda mention from Keyes???????? :0 I was floored.
shorts idea
Listen if we as a culture have fallen so far that it ends up Halo 2 Remake can't have Sangheili ass, I do have an old suggestion...
(Halo 3 cortana hallucination) They gave me a cunty bob in the remake chief, they didn't even give me a choice
roland cycles through different colors like a gamer mouse or keyboard
How many times are we going to go thru this
Give me back my Egyptian queen pixie cut Tron bodysuit hands-on-hips Cortana
Or so help me
Oh... oh my!
it's good when other characters thump the master chief.
drum on him. it's for his health.
Hi reclaimers please vote smash to prove the incels wrong thanks
Cortana Campaign Evolved
Smash
Pass
SHES SO HUGE AND YELLOW 😭😭😭
as long as the cutscene where cortana accidentally teleports chief upside down is good, the original campaign will be perfect to me 👍
EDIT:
oh thank god
You don’t properly see him hit the ground tho :/because of woke
its crazy how there are actual valid complaints to be made about the new halo game but when you look at the fans its all just gamers mad about the fact that theres a woman in it
and anyone who wants to make even a mild and playful complaint has to disclaim that they like the game overall in order to signal that they don't want to be considered an ally by this kind of person!
343 BLUNDER! You can’t walk around in the green coolant in Keyes anymore.
Never forget what they took from you.

There is definitely a transgender read to woman Spartans in Halo, especially the S-IIs. You're a girl but you are told to kill Just Like the Rest of the Boys, your puberty (augmentations) makes you massive, you show no emotion. You are made into one who does violence
