Master Chief to Return!

Master Chief to Return!
Published by: LegendaryFire on Thursday, July 29, 2010
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360,

The last time we saw Master Chief in Halo 3, he was sailing off somewhere in the depths of space, passed out via cryosleep, and slowly headed towards a mysterious planet. Who would’ve thought we’d get to see man wake up?

A lot of people, actually, including 343 Industries’ creative director Frank O’Connor who says Master Chief’s return is definite. “We’d have to be the world’s biggest assholes not to follow through,” O’Connor said in a Comic-Con interview. “We certainly haven’t seen the last of Master Chief.”

While anyone can figure you’d have to have ice running through your veins to want to end the Chief’s story at Halo 3, it’s nice to hear that Halo: Reach doesn’t signify the end of our favorite spartan.
