Holy crap Episode 4 was epic! Those Elites are so damn menacing.

Btw you know Chief if only 15 yrs old if FUD?

Yeah that's crazy. Some people on Gaf are complaining that he wouldn't actually have the rank of Master Chief at this point though. I'm no lore expert so I don't know how the dates shake out but if that's the case then I'm surprised they'd make that mistake.

 

@ crissindahouse I absolutely loved the needles and plasma. I heard a lot of Needlers going off but didn't see any streaming throughthe air like in the game, only single Needler Rifle rounds. Still awesome though seeing them shattering on impact.

Its one of the sacrifices in canon MS made to reel in non-Halo fans, like the armor change in halo 4 was really just a marketing stunt to keep the series fresh and evolve (we all know the nanos are a BS excuse).

A casual Halo fan associates John 117 as Master Chief. If hes what, a "Petty Officer John 117" at the time, people will be like " WTF hes not that rank, hes Master Chief!"

Its just video game politics, small meaningless breaks in canon that are meant to give the thing more broad appeal.
