: My point is: that opening scene gave a taste for what Halo 4 could have been.
: The haloverse has the potential for a lot of character lead story. They
: could go the Mass Effect route but I suggest that we play as multiple
: characters, each with their own strengths and play styles. Some characters
: are fighters but some levels could escape from mere gun play to give us
: other ways to achieve our goals. For example: Halsey has to think and talk
: her way out of trouble - manipulate others rather than shoot them.

I'm ready for Arby to make a triumphant return. If the Chief's story is going to be as dull and uninteresting as Halo 4, then I really hope we have another story from another character's point of view. Namely the Arbiter's.

Unless of course they wrote him off in the extended fiction somewhere. Haven't really read much of the latest stuff, so I wouldn't know.
