There Should be More Halo Stories Without Master Chief
The Halo series has been enthralling science-fiction and FPS fans for years. Players have been drawn in by the galaxy-spanning adventures of Master Chief and his war against the Covenant. They have followed his fight from the first Halo game in 2001 to the innovative Halo Infinite. The franchise has become the center point of Xbox, and it even got a live-action show on Paramount Plus. It is safe to say that the Halo franchise has become a staple of the video game industry and is showing no signs of stopping.
Almost every title in the Halo series has followed the adventures of John 117, also known as Master Chief. He has become the nemesis of the Covenant and the savior of humanity, and it has been a pretty fun ride. However, he has been the center of the franchise since 2001, and maybe it is time for another person to take the helm. Telling stories following a brand-new character allows for even more storytelling potential, and it could help reinvigorate a franchise that has not been able to achieve the heights of the original trilogy. Master Chief does not have to be gone forever, but the series should not be afraid to tell more stories where he is not the protagonist. It did it in 2010, there is no reason that 343 Industries cannot do it again.
What We Hope to See on Halo Infinite's DLC
John 117 has been the protagonist of the Halo series ever since it first started back in 2001. He has been the center of the franchise for six of the titles, and has been referenced in a couple of the spin-offs. He also served as the protagonist of the Halo show on Paramount Plus, and fans got to see a lot more of him than they have come to expect. Master Chief defines Halo, but maybe it is time for the series to give him a bit of a break.
