He was a popular character. I wasn't specifically referencing The Rookie when I made that statement IIRC.
You said important at first, so...
You can't say one thing but mean another.

I'm sure if I cared to read more of the lore I could pull up a few more.
You said all. I said they're not, because they're not.

That is literally never explained even a little bit. The most we get is "they're not outfitted like standard military."
I know The Covenant Remnant in Halo 4 wasn't explained. I never said it was.

Ugh, here we go.

Considering the Rookie was one of 3 protagonists across multiple games, I'd say he's pretty important. But yes, he's more popular than important and he's not exactly integral to the overall story of the Halo universe.
 
What I said was "They should save some of the more important deaths for the games", but since I can't come up with any examples where an important character has died in the books, I'll admit that was [probably] wrong. What I should've said was "they should save important events and character development for their games", which I've already brought up a few reasons how they DON'T do that.

Snake: "343 never explained why we're fighting the Covies in H4."

Lemon: "What's there to explain? They're not the same Covies as H1-H3."

Snake: "And that's never explained in the game at all."

Lemon: "I-I know that.
                       ...
                                    Idiot."


I'm honestly having trouble telling if you're serious or not.

Notice how I never actually said the Covenant Remnant was explained in Halo 4?
Yeah.
There's a stark difference between "what's there to explain?" and flat out saying they were explained in the game.

Idiot.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

I did notice, actually. But in context, you were implying it was, because you used it as evidence to support your opposition to my claim that 343 didn't explain why we're fighting the Covenant again.

How about you stop trying to squirm out of this and just admit you were wrong, or at least, mistaken, for once?

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
One of the very few genuinely interesting Halo characters...and they just threw him away.

Yep, that's why Halo ended with 3. To prevent shit like this from happening.

He's the only truly well designed self insert character in the entire Halo series [and Bungie games after MI]. Then again, we're probably not going to get anything quite like ODST in the future. I'd still rather have had the Rookie never mentioned again than have him killed, messes up player agency w/Rookie in ODST. Kind of the same reason why the Control ending in ME3 took a turn for the worse in the EC.

New Blood as a whole was great though.

Yeah, I would have been more than okay with never seeing the cast of ODST again. Their story just feels better that way.

I always wanted to see Buck and the rest of the squad though. They were actual characters- we were just playing through their memories [both in game and in real life- Bungie's cool with meta narrative]- so I don't mind an extension of their stories. I think the second you translate The Rookie into something like a book [or comic, Evolutions' at fault too], where his actions aren't player controlled [or purely reactive] you lose an important part of him as a storytelling device. Like, I guess I'd describe it as sort of narrative determinism restricting agency.

Why does it matter which faction she was from and which outfit he's a part of?

I don't get why everyone thinks The Rookie is a good character. He was a boring, silent player avatar. Nothing more.

I love you, son.
People bitch about 343i not explaining the Covenant in Halo 4 but Bungie did the exact same thing in Halo: CE and didn't explain their motivations until 2-3 years after.

It was the first game in the series and released during the time period where nobody gave a shit why they had to shoot the aliens, only that they had to.

By the seventh game in the series, we should know who the bad guys are, especially if they're just the old bad guys with a slightly different motive.

Just because people apparently didn't care (which obviously isn't entirely true) doesn't excuse no explanation.

Why they don't put shit like this in games instead of lolbooks I'll never fucking know.

Seriously, this would make an awesome story. Or at least, a more memorable Halo story. Nothing like this ever happens in the games, save Cortana.
Who are noble team?
Something that we should forget about.

They were some of the best and most developed characters though
