Gotta watch your words...
A month ago, Microsoft Game Studios VP Phil Spencer talked to OXM UK at E3. He was hyping Halo 4, and talking about how it will be a return to the story of the Master Chief. The terminology he used might be considered... unfortunate, based on the press this article began generating yesterday. (Not sure why nobody noticed before yesterday, but that's a different question altogether.)
"We kind of lost our way a little bit, I'll say. And that's why I wanted to make sure that at the unveiling of Halo 4, you knew you were playing Master Chief, that John was back. Because Master Chief is the John Wayne character of that universe, and that's who you want to play."
The thread on our forum about this has people a little annoyed that Spencer basically seems to be saying "the direction Halo went in, with ODST and Reach, was not the direction it SHOULD have gone in." Do you think he's right? Do you think that's even what he was really trying to say? Chime in! (Louis Wu 15:21:10 UTC)
