Jun evacuated with Dr. Halsey-- as in he went with her to make sure she left the planet alright. So, yeah, he totally survives. My only issue with that is that I'm pretty sure a lot of things in this game completely go against the cannon of The Fall of Reach book...DarkSoldier84 said:

I don't know if it's just me, but it's kind of disturbed me that in halo 1 spartans were the silent protagonist, but nowadays they're these characters filled with real emotion and personality.
Edit: Might as well just remove the whole tinted visor thing and just reveal their faces while you're at it, Bungie.

Im actually happy about Bungie not forcing me to like everyone in Halo... Since just about everyone either dies or go MIA.Judgement101 said:Well, you got me where, but no one really cares what happens to Generic Space Marine #195.dogstile said:Lies, everyone loved johnsonJudgement101 said:

Was I the only one who really liked Jorge?

Do you know the story behind that phrase?blobby218 said:
To keep the morale up amongst the marines, UNSC list all killed or missing Spartans MIA... Even when they have the body.
The only Halo character I gave a crap about was Jorge because he was british and had chain gun.
R.I.P. big guy
Yeah, but you could say the same thing about generic character X in pretty much any game (or movie, or book, etc.). That's why they're generic. They exist to provide a little more semblance of life and population, and nothing more.Judgement101 said:Well, you got me where, but no one really cares what happens to Generic Space Marine #195.dogstile said:Lies, everyone loved johnsonJudgement101 said:
It did feel a tad short and felt like they cut out some big things. Shame really, I'd have loved a giant send off. I'd would have loved if they were able to make each character unique, and something more than slightly interesting chiche's.
Sadly thats not the case. Still enjoyed the story though, the after-credits one was absolutely amazing.

You have that backwards. Spartan-IIs are made into what they are as children, and must have incredibly specific genetic makeup. Master Chief was one, as was Jorge. Spartan-IIIs (the rest of Noble Team) on the other hand, are the ones who were augmented at a later age (I think 15?), and because they didn't go through nearly as many augmentations, the genetic makeup can have looser restrictions.kman123 said:
In response to bolded part of quote... you did play the game, right?
EDIT: Damn it. Ninja'd by Irridium.
How would you have developed the characters? Have Emile and Six discussing philosophical ideas while they stab a grunt in the brain?
the reason why everyone doesn't like kat's death, was it was completely random and had no purpose, just about everyone's death had some purpose or wasn't random, and it actually built up to the moment kat was just "*do do do do skipping along in the hallway* BLAT! *no shields?!?!*"nin_ninja said:
Yes, that would be quite awesome. Two badass Spartans killing Covenant while talking about philosophical stuff. Much like Red vs. Blue and why are we here and the sniper rifle.ultrachicken said:
OK, I loved reaches story, except tthe fact that I knew reach would fall before I played and knew most ofthe main charicters would die, I was very happy with the story line and the references to thom (who I wish had been a decent part of the story) I would definitly buy Legendary edition if I had the money. Granted the campain is a little short, I was heartbroken when Jorge died, and thrilled when Jun lived, so overall it was well writen, but I'm not exactly a critic. I didn't even like carter or kat at all, but Nobles 3,4, and 5 seemed decently likable, and was happy to see a younger captain keyes also. I liked the deliver hope trailer where thom sacrafices himself, and sets up the reach story, plus the little easter eggs showing all of the nobles. Sorry for the bad wording in this paragraph, I'll work on it.
I want to point out in this poster's defense, that we are not just getting snippy with game mechanics over plot (Aeris Phoenix Down scenario). The cutscenes in Halo: Reach make a point to ensure that physics between cutscene and game are the same. That's why you, say, see the shields go off when Emile and Six jump out of the Pelican later on. Seeing those shields function outside of gameplay just added more fuel to the "Kat's death was bullshit" fire.gmaverick019 said:
With this in mind, pay attention to the shot that killed Kat. It's from a fucking Needle Rifle. Those take, what, six shots just to get through the shields?
The only explanation I can accept so far is that the explosion from earlier in the scene caused an EMP, but even that's debatable. Consider the length of time between explosion and death, and how long it normally takes for shields to recharge.
exactly what i was going for, maybe if she had been defending that spot while the rest of the team fell back, and was going down that hallway, and then she got shot in the face by a needle rifle, that'd be believable and i wouldn't have been sayin "wtf" but that was one random ass hole with a random ass shot in which her death was a "wow...ok? fucking shit."Miles Tormani said:
Referring to the books (yet again), I think it makes perfect sense that Master Chief spoke so little.
First off, once the Spartans had grown up, become full on soldiers, and developed as a team, they didn't even speak to each other that much. They all seemed to have a pretty good understanding of each other, and when in the battlefield they used a lot of hand motions to direct each other.
Most of the UNSC looked at the Saprtans like they were aliens, and I have to imagine the Spartans felt like that when they were around other people. Especially around the ODST's.
The biggest difference between Noble Team and Master Chief is obvious-- Noble Team was a TEAM. They had each other to talk to. The Spartan II's were raised together and still functioned as a unit. Master Chief, however, had to function without his team throughout the Halo trilogy. So far as hew knew, his entire team was dead, and the only real company he had was Cortana. In that context, it doesn't surprise me in the least that he never had much to say to anyone. I'm sure if we saw him in the company of his own personal squad when they were still alive, he'd be a bit more chatty.
