Spencer: Halo without Master Chief just isn't as 'centered' on what players want

4.7
We're not 100 percent sure what Microsoft Game Studios head Phil Spencer is trying to say in this quote from E3, but as far as we can tell, he's just happy that Halo 4 is returning the player to Master Chief's head. He says he wants to make sure that the new game "lives up to what I think gamers fell in love with," and for him, that means being the Chief again.

Spencer says Halo Reach "made more sense to you if you were a Halo fan. If you were new to Xbox 360, 360 is where you started playing on Xbox, you understood what Halo 3 was. ODST and Reach, maybe you weren't as centered." So, newcomers want -- and expect -- to play as the Chief, whereas fans of the franchise were fine with something new.

At any rate, Spencer's just trying to make it clear that Master Chief is coming back, in both the anniversary remake of Combat Evolved, and Halo 4 next year. Why couldn't you just say that, Phil?

slaughtercell Spencer says Halo Reach "made more sense to you if you were a Halo fan... this is not true cause i played all the halo's and i was like where the **** is Master Chief and my Battle rifle... he should of said we got to enjoy Master Chief more than people who did not play Halo 1, Halo 2 but i was more upset than a new person who just started playing Halo


If reach did not make sense to you and you played all those you must be stupid. All the quote said was that it made more sense, not if you wanted the battle rifle or master chief. Choose a better quote next time.
People like you probably never played the other Halo games that's why you have to play Halo: Reach and than the Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary but the Halo for me is Halo 1-4 not Halo: ODST that had nothing to do with the other Halo games and Halo: Reach that had nothing to do with Master Chief... i hate people like you cause you are a troll... someone who played Halo 1-3 will have a better understanding than you and they don't need to play any other halo game but Halo 4... HALO is a Ring not a planet so Halo: Reach was a Planet and was a story of it's own

I am Glad! Halo ODST was amazing i will say but it didnt have that halo feel i had in halo 3. Halo reach was also fun but still no halo feel

I swear they can never just answer a simple question. They have to elaborate and go into completely different subjects. Like seriously just say yes or no and stop wasting time. Anyways it's extremely obvious that Master Chief will be in Halo 4 because it picks up right where Halo 3 ends (Legendary ending)

Two news pieces on practically the same story, using practically the same quotes. Nice waste of time.

Yes Phil Halo had some shit, it also had some good, shut up and just get on with it.
