With Halo Infinite taking a step back into its roots, it’s only fitting to take a look at the face (or visor) of the franchise for the past twenty years, The Master Chief. Instantly recognizable by just about anyone in the gaming industry, John, Spartan 117 was made to be a shell that we could fill with our own perspective on the universe that Bungie created filling in details with the mystical environments, supporting characters to invest in and larger-than-life odds that gives us as players the conquering feeling against a formidable foe. Over time with the caretaker of the franchise transitioning to 343 Industries, we’ve seen Chief develop to be more than just a man in a piece of power armor. There’s a character we’ve all come to learn and love and invest in the franchise. With the next installment of the games, we eagerly await the continued development of the icon of humanity in the Halo universe and the stories that will unfold on the mysterious Zeta Halo. Join us as we celebrate the 117th issue of Canon Fodder!
