I could be confusing it with another, but I'm pretty sure Hellcat was designed by a Halo fan, and adopted into the game

ONI the type of organization to make you go missing, so you can be "found" "alive and well"

At the end of the day, you want it to be genuine, right. You want the characters to be written intentionally. Not just to check a box. Writers should look to Halo for creating that intentional inclusion to strengthen their stories.

DEI is a HOT topic of course. But I always scoff a little at the accusations some have that Halo has become "woke".

Halo was literally defined from the start by women, minorities and faceless characters. Because Bungie knew in THEIR story these issues did not exist.

It's about Aliens, bro.

We finished the fight in 2007 and brought Chief home in 2012. So what have we accomplished since?

What do you think is the answer?

Halo is struggling hard with story identity, and each time these massive off-screen jump cuts occur, I wager more and more fans are being disillusioned to the Halo story. How can we invest interest in stories when we keep getting denied participation in the conclusion.

I guess my point is that it's confusing. I'm a massive fan of the Halo story and universe, but it's not practical to assume the fan base at large is following comics, books and web shorts- because for better or worse it's a gaming fan base.
