[quote]One of my core beliefs is using your voice to make a positive impact, especially if said voice is louder than average. Thankfully the studio mirrors those sentiments, which means I often have the honor of hosting Make-A-Wish visits. Meeting these kiddos has made more of an impact on me than I can express, and certainly not one that I can discuss without emotion.
One of those kiddos was Mathieu. After successfully battling cancer three times in his 16 years of existence, the fourth took its toll. We chatted regularly during this trying time, talking about both significant and insignificant topics. Something he said during one of those conversations stuck with me, so much that I knew we needed to make it a reality. After recognizing his time was fleeting, he offhandedly said, “I wish I could live forever in Halo.”
We had him take a series of headshots, and then modeled an in-game Marine after him. His character is in Halo: Anniversary, and arguably one of the most important in the game. He’s the person that lets the Master Chief out of his cryo-chamber, and he also teaches the player the controls for playing the game. We made that choice because Mathieu, to the very end, wanted to help others. And to this day he continues doing just that, inside the Halo universe.[/quote]
I just don't know what to say. So many times I've been let out of the cryopod by him... My feels...

*eyes water* That feel
-
-
His name will never be forgotten...
-
-
By live forever he meant getting killed almost immediately in the story?

Edited by The Squatchmen: 3/20/2014 8:41:16 PMThat's awesome, so basically if H:CE is remastered time after time, they'll always be using that model from this character. It was a very sweet and touching thing they did for him. Rest in Peace
-
Awesome.
-
That is such a shame, but a very sweet way to remember him. :-)
-
Dang. That's pretty cool.
-
Spartans never die...
-
I'm gonna pretend he's also the guy that holds up those targeting lights at the start of Halo 3, too.
-
I always wondered why he looked so different from the CE graphics. Interesting.
-
Damn...
-
Such an honorable piece of rememberance from 343. :D
-
I wonder if his model will be given a role in Destiny?
-
;c I need to play it again i feel sad since most won't care about that marine yet he saved us all..
