[b]This may be my craziest Halo idea/thought ever concocted, but I'm going to post it.
[/b]
What if in the last Halo game Chief is captured by the Didact and assimilated. The Didact, not wanting to see Chief's super soldier potential go to waste, uploads his personality and combat skills into a very powerful promethean knight. Chief's personality, locked in the promethean database of assimilated humans, awakens due to the powers the librarian gives him in Halo 4.
Chief's personality takes form and goes on a mission inside the database to gain control of his new promethean form, maybe even running into Cortana along the way. After chief gains control of the knight the player takes control and goes on a rampage destroying other prometheans and covenant troops, all the while the Didact is trying to regain control of the promethean knight (sort of how the gravemind interferes with chief's mind in Halo 3).
There could be two possible ways of ending this, Chief either finds a way to become human again and save those assimilated by the didact or he defeats the didact and stays with cortana and the rest of the assimilated humans, covenant, and forerunners in the database.

Given that he didn't get composed in 4 it seems unlikely that this will ever happen, only Bioware is capable of such dumbass rectons.

11 RepliesA) librarian made him immune to composition and didact is in full knowledge of this ["you have not been composed! such inoculation should not have been possible."]. unless something happens in halo 5/6/whatever-the-hell that you haven't mentioned, didact isn't going to try composing chief again anytime soon. B) at least based off the theming we have now, it wouldn't make any sense. the entire point of the reclaimer trilogy is master chief becoming fully human and breaking off from the past "characterization" we've seen in the bungie games [contextualized by the halo 4 prologue]. we'll need further contextualization in halo 5/other intermediary games to have that be even remotely sane from an artistic standpoint. i suppose it could be possible, but it's just... not likely. imagine this: game 1: master chief is in shambles after losing cortana and coming face to face with his "machine vs. man" dichotomy intermediary games: "machine vs. man" dichotomy is explored in further detail and chief is put in positions where he is forced to take stock of himself and figure out how to mediate between the two [this is almost a certainty given the theming in halo 4]. final game: chief turns into a machine, then becomes a man through some next level space magic or chief just turns into a machine. former scenario makes a modicum of sense, actually, but the second is just "wat." again, if you develop the concept with intermediary games and provide further contextualization it could make sense, it's just based on what we have right now it's out of the question, imo. C) player controlled knights sound so cool [not gamecheat13 tier knights either]. imagine teleportation and spawning watchers and lancer charges and stuff

No because 343 made the Librarian give him super powers. Duh, didn't you see that 30 second cinematic of writing prestige?

2 RepliesHe probably will. Right before Cortana is resurrected as a organic/flesh female. And where the Arbiter finally scores with Chief.

He should become transmethean. Spreaking of "transmethean", looks like it better be added to Facebook before non-gender-conforming activists start crying out.

2 RepliesImpossible. As seen in the Halo Xbox One trailer, Master Chief is now a Jedi.

No John, you are the Prometheans. And then John was a zombie.

1 ReplyIt won't change the gameplay whatsoever.

By assimilated do you mean composed? If so, its not gonna happen. John is immune to the composers well, um, composing.
-
Reminds me of the movie "Skyline".

2 RepliesHate to burst your bubble but don't forget that the Librarian accelerated Master Chief's evolution, giving him an immunity to the composer.

Edited by Haruspis: 2/23/2014 10:26:07 PMThe Librarian's imprint contains immunity to the Composer, John cannot be composed into a Promethean Knight - as was demonstrated at the end of the penultimate mission of Halo 4 where the Ur-Didact uses the Composer on ivanoff Station. The Prometheans themselves are Forerunner Warrior-Servants, not humans.

Didn't that thing the Librarian do to him prevent Chief from being composed and being turned into a Promethean?
