"Finishing the fight."

This is going to get controversial.

It simply cannot be argued that the Chief is one of the gaming's most recognisable characters, and there's a good reason why Microsoft have practically made him their mascot- Chief is a badass.

Many games nowadays focus on making characters as deep and realistic as possible and while that can certainly be a good thing, sometimes all you need is a character that's willing to get things done.

Master Chief follows the creed of "actions speak louder than words" and that's what makes him such a great character. He triumphs through any obstacle that is put in his way, and he does so in style.

The fact that Master Chief has managed to lead the Xbox brand from its very start all the way up till now should really show you the impact that he's managed to have on gaming as a whole.

Let's hope that Halo: Infinite puts a lot more focus on one of gaming's greatest heroes.
