Johnson, Keyes, Keyes, Alpha-9, NOBLE...

In Response To: Johnson wouldn't *NM* (scarab)

I think it's an interesting contrast between Brohammer and *literally every other secondary character in Halo.* Johnson, Captain Keyes, Commander Keyes, they would all have told the Chief "You go take care of those guns, I'm going to investigate those Condors."

Brohammer pleads with the Chief to come back so they can do it together.

I think the whining is unbecoming of a UNSC Marine. I mean, I get that he has a wife and children. I get that he wants to be anywhere but here, and this fusion-powered tin soldier he pulled out of a debris field is the only thing standing between him and an army of aliens who cook Humans for field rations.

That can be an interesting character archetype, the soldier who is in over his head and can't cover it with Johnson's panache. In this case, because the script lacks all subtlety, he just sounds hysterical.

It was more bearable the second time I watched the trailer, but I hope that I don't have to put up with this all through the game, and I hope he's not the only secondary character on Chief's journey.
