*END GAME SPOILERS*
Man oh man I loved this game. Near the end, when they go down into the research lab to grab the vital information and Cortana, and the doctor mentions that Cortana chose ME (the main character) to carry the information to the Pillar of autumn, it hit me right then and there that I thought we were Master Chief (a younger version). The whole deal about Cortana choosing him and the fact that you were then headed to the Pillar of Autumn...
But it turns out we weren't. Now that I've beaten the game, I have mixed feelings, but I suppose this was the better way to finish it. On one hand, it would have been so cool to realize you were a younger Master Chief, but on the other hand I realize that would break the gloom feeling of the end of the game.
