Yeah, I was just noticing that myself. I’m assuming it’s because ODST just came out so it’s on people’s minds but it still seems a little odd.

Just FTR, I’ve never played any of the Halo games and really know nothing about Master Chief, so I can’t contribute to the OP. Sorry about that… 😛

I respect the games position in the industry but the series just never piqued my interest.
