Correct me if I’m wrong on this, but I was the under the impression that Sgt. Johnson was a unique marine character model that got popular enough to spin off into a proper character with a retconned backstory — kind of like Barney from Half-Life. I don’t think they even mention Johnson by name outside of that one launch event, do they?

Loxbourne posted:The Arbiter pretty much drops out of the plot in 3, beyond a few lines in cutscenes and the ending. There was a notable backlash against him after Halo 2, enough that it was a distinct "flavour" among the general unrest. Having him as the co-op character is a decentish way of keeping him in the storyline while making sure that players aren't forced to play as him. That sounds exactly like what happened with Raiden in MGS2, complete with a belated warm reception by the fans after years of making GBS threads on him.

My apologies for necro'ing the thread, but I've reached Halo 3 on a rewatch and was suddenly reminded of an old YouTube video that made fun of the hysteria leading up to 3's release. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvanJYOGlus
