crunckUK, why dont you go by a book on character developement. Or read the wiki or some online articles. I think Gamasutra has afew good ones. Go to the check marks for what makes a good character, a fleshed out fully developed personality and ask yourself if MasterChief meets those criteria. Youll find out quickly he doesnt. The difference between Snake and MC is that Snake has a background, history, relationships, PERSONAL and proffesional goals, personal and professional conflicts, he has opinions and beleifs that go passed what the game dictates he do.
Granted MC MAY have the same thing if someone reads all the novels, speaking as someone who hasnt read them. But i SHOULDNT need to read supplementary material to understand a character who was poorly developed on the drawing bored because they didnt anticipate the games popularity and couldnt squeeze origin and dissposition into subsequent games without ruining the flow.
• Master Chief (he just shoots stuff...) • Gears of Wars characters in general (don't get me wrong the game is great, absolute fun, but those characters are lame! hope they do better in Gears 2)
