[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] And Im Here Too I'm more concerned with how utterly [i]boring[/i] John is, at least up until Halo 4.[/quote] Agreed. The most interesting he got pre-Halo 4 was his development in the novels where things are revealed like how he's absolutely terrified of the Flood, it was the closest he got to actually being a character, but Halo CE-3 retained that bullshyte claim that you should project yourself into the character. In a sci-fi universe as large as Halo's where the story revolves around this one guy who does all the important stuff, you [i]can't[/i] retain that backwards mentality with a protagonist.
