minus-squareShadowCat@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up23·2 days agoTLDR: They didn’t want Chief showing up and then that’s the unit everyone would immediately use. I’m glad they did this, not just for gameplay reasons but for the story too, really hope the SoF story gets continued
minus-squareGhostlyPixel@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·18 hours agoI am glad they picked up the SoF story in some of the recent books, but, with the direction the franchise appears to be going, I’m a bit afraid it’s going to get dropped for another ten years. Ugh.
