I think the point against Master Chief is that he is a cartoony looking character in a cartoony looking world. Mortal Kombat has always been about blood, gore and ripping peoples intestines out. That sort of ferociness is absent from the Halo universe.
Marcus Fenix from Gears of War would be a better fit, but he also looks like a fleshy fridge holding a gun, so I'd imagine it'd be hard to add melee combat to him.
Microsoft needs a good action/adventure franchise.
Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.
