Master Chief would most likely be a central part of the movie but not necessarily the lead. The Halo universe can be about ODST´s, young spartans or someone else within the UNSC. The idea of a covenant of races, all worshipping the forerunners and more specifically the Halo rings, is a combination of fantasy and Sci-fi storytelling that is very strong. Later in the series of movies, the actual forerunners can be introduced, which also pulls the viewer in even deeper.

Uncharted is great as an adventure game in itself. It is just way to generic to fit on the big screen and be big with the general public.

lol that would actully be Uncharted's strength..the audience are familar with the story...what is stopping Halo from looking like every other scifi.."we are human, so we win everytime" movie like independence day or war of the world etc..? Hzalo can just be as generic to someone who isnt familiar with its Lore.

And the story of Uncharted is...?

There is a reason Halo is so highly regarded within the gaming industry. As with any great story it is about more than the hero or the villains, or even the Sci-fi setting. It is about fundamentalism, about blind faith and what it leads to. It is about how we regard our history and how history through manipulative leaders (the prophets) can be rewritten. It is about change (the arbiter) and how long we can push our humanity for survival (spartans). It has so many interesting elements that make for great toughtprovoking sci-fi that aren´t only about big explosions and a man in armor.

And the forerunners and the flood will make for awesome teasers into future movies :).


Nathan's realtionships with his mentor Sully and his off and one girlfriend while being chased by baddies after an ancient artfact. Sure it sound generic but if done right it will work...not every movie goer understands or even knows anything about halo. the studio will have to win them over to the story and overview first before anything else. Protagoinst can definitely not be Master Chief. unless through the divine power of supreme script writing can John be the protagonist and the movie still works...
