I bet in Halo 2 we find out his real name is Bates, and then everyone calls him that instead of Chief. Good times.

MC is a generic anti-hero.
I don't see much in him. That don't mean Halo's a bad game.

He's cool cause he's one fucking badass standing with a defense against invasion supported by dumb rent-a-troops.
The covenants all like OH SHIT HERE COMES THE PAIN TRAIN!

Wario64, why don't you keep your idiotic opinions to yourself, you obnoxious little shit? You don't like Halo, okay, we get the fucking idea already. Find a new hobby.
i love halo 1 and 2, but jesus, i've never seen master chief as anything more than kurt russell in a green space suit.
cortana: "chief, we've got to overload that reactor!"
MC in a gruff voice: "right. let's do this. <or insert some other macho wisecrack>"
absolutely zero personality.
which is fine for an FPS, btw. but this worship of MC is a bit puzzling to me.

Some people are touchy about the PSP and, i guess, some people are touchy about Halo2.

I don't disagree, but it isn't too terribly puzzling...
He is the player character in a popular game. Link is one of the most popular game characters around, but he is nothing more than an avatar with a name (a name that you can modify to whatever you want even...).
When you have an ultra popular game series, the main characters tend to recieve tons of attention and praise.

You want to see puzzling? Go to Gamefaqs and see the massive love for Crono there.
It's true. Popular game=popular character, even if said character is totally unremarkable. People associate their love for the game with the character, and thus transfer that love onto him. Link is pretty much the same thing, but at least in his case he emotes a little. Deku Scrub Link rocks!

Well there's been three books and countless bits of cryptic information from Bungie that detail the story surrounding MC and the Halo universe. I'm not saying it's Shakespear, but they've definately built more personality and story surrounding that character than there is with someone like Samus in Metroid or Link from Legend of Zelda, and god only knows how many mastubatory threads have been started around here about those two.
I have a hard time coming up with a less inspired character design than Master Chief. The name "Master Chief" is absolutely ridiculous, too.
"Wait, I've got it! He's not just the Chief, he's the Master of Chiefs! MASTER CHIEF!"
"Yeah! Cool! Can we make him a completely generic space soldier, please?"
"I wouldn't have it any other way!"
"YAY".
No accounting for taste, though, and to each his own and yadda yadda.
Alright, carry on.
