14 DAY TRIAL // Although this picture that you can click to enlarge (above first, later we'll talk about the others scattered around) isn't all that new, it is a genuine, in-game Halo 3 multiplayer screenshot of multiple Master Chiefs battling it out. Look at the first Master Chief that's bigger than the others. And I'm not saying he's big just because he's close to the camera lens. He's frikkin' PHAT! Fat, fat, fat! Look at the belly. Is he pregnant or something? The others are well proportioned, as you can see, but not grey Master Chief. Nooo, he's had one too many beers.
The image hasn't been mugged or anything, nor has it been rescaled messing up proportions. What you see is how I found it as an official in-game screenshot provided by Bungie, the developer. I might be wrong here, maybe Master Chief has gotten himself a new outfit, that really makes him fat and all, but this is the first picture of a fat Master Chief I'm seeing. Now, look at the smaller photos I scattered around for comparison. Clearly, Master Chief wasn't a fat guy before. Especially the one on the cover of Halo Graphic Novel. He's skin-and-bones compared to the one in the picture I've mentioned.
Let's just hope that this doesn't affect Master Chief's driving the Warthog. If we were to consider him taking an 80-degree turn, the consequences could be catastrophic. He might crack his helmet open, letting the atmosphere on Halo suck out his face. Bungie would have to consider reinforcing those suspensions, 'cause the old ones surely won't cope. And if there's still time, the developer should also consider developing a new vehicle for Halo 3: the Sidecar Motorcycle (for counterweight). OK, enough joking on fat Master Chief. It's probably just the way Beer Belly looks from the side. However, there might be a problem. Will that big belly show when gamers hide behind a corner standing up, getting ready to strafe their way into the action?
