Master Chief is easily the weakest pu**y character of all time. I've never seen a character die so quickly from two bullets in my life. He is supposed to be a spartan with special armor, but he is nothing without his shield. They should make an article on The Arbiter because he can't catch a break because he has to do far greater tasks than his allies, but isn't equipped with unlimited camo while the others can stay invisible forever. Its more like a suicide mission for him.

are you ****ing kidding me Master Chief is ******** amazing. Whoever wrote this is just pissed cause he/she cant be as cool as him. so **** you

poor gordon freeman, all that schooling and he turns out to be a soldier, lol

I remember when Zelda was Sheik from Ocarina of Time. But even then I thought the character was a mysterious masked woman, not a dude.

Woa people, calm down man. Everybody takin' this so seriously. It's just an article made to kick up **** between fellow gamers. By arguin' and freakin' out like little kids you're letting the jerk off who writes these articles win. Not to mention the article had a good point. O'le Gordan just can't catch a break lol. At least he gets to hit bodies with a crowbar and watch them go SPLAT ha ha ha.

ok just wanna point out that i would love being kratos from god of war cuz i would be the GOD OF WAR!!! and i would be able to all my foes but those who have no foes are lucky cuz i have many and i would loveeeeeeeeeee to get back at those sorry little *******s

listen guys, its really easy to develop a backstory for something so recent with such technological advancements. That is not to say i do not like halo or any other xbox 360 games on this list. However, even the die hard xbox fanboy's should at least respect the fact that these characters have been alive since they were shown in 8 bits on the NES. It is really hard to develop a backstory when working with such low grade technology, and to develop a backstory at this point mostly because nintendo fanboy's would consider it not good enough. Everyone should take things into perspective instead of just firing off the cannon so fast about Xbox rocks and Nintendo sucks and so forth.

Ryanwithapassion, Put down the 360 controller. Go Outside.

ryanwithapassion Can anyone say microsoft fanboy.. "The characters on this list from the Xbox/Xbox 360 games are better and more in depth than Mario or Link could ever be" Where is the back story of Master Chief? O.o and Link is not just one character it's more than one just the same name. I'm not a nintendo fanboy and I know that, Mario is for gameplay not story. But then again your an Xbox fanboy you wouldnt know much about gameplay over graphics.

They forgot the worst things about being Samus...*SPOILERS* 1) Your mother was murdered in front of you by a sentient, fire-breathing space pterodactyl with a scorpion tail. 2) Your dad died during the same attack 3) You kill aforementioned space pterodactyl over and over again, but he just keeps coming back! 4) The alien race that raised you went extinct 5) The guy you fell in love with in the army died saving you and is now a computer's AI.
