The Master Chief is the primary playable protagonist of every mainline Halo game.

Overview
Master Chief controls similarly to other early sci-fi FPS protagonists, including Bungie's prior game Marathon, but with concessions made that facilitate better gameplay having the Xbox controller in mind. The combat of Halo is also slower paced and more methodical than its contemporaries. Compared to fast paced arena shooters such as Quake and Starsiege: Tribes Chief's movement speed is much slower and he can only carry a limited number of weapons. However compared to high risk tactical shooters such as Counter-Strike he also possesses recharging energy shields and very high jump height. This mix of different shooter elements combined with a unique sandbox of guns, grenades, and melee creates the resulting gameplay of the Halo series, sometimes referred to as the "30 seconds of fun" or "the dance".

Campaign
Players experience the entirety of Combat Evolved's campaign through the perspective of the Master Chief, incorporating first-person combat and third-person driving. Key moments and cinematics are depicted as third-person cutscenes, during which are the only times Chief speaks in game.

Campaign
The Master Chief returns in Halo 2 now wearing Mark VI MJOLNIR Armor, which is responsible for several new gameplay changes. Energy shielding recharges more quickly but no longer scales with difficulty. Health automatically recharges after 10 seconds or upon reaching a checkpoint, and health packs no longer appear in missions. Lastly the integrated flashlight no longer has a depleting battery, however it will automatically turn off in areas deemed too bright. Starting with this entry Chief can now dual wield one handed weapons to allow for increased firepower at the cost of being able to throw grenades or perform melees. Unique from other shooters is the ability to mix and match weapons when dual wielding, allowing for more versatility without needing to switch weapons. All of these changes also apply to the deuteragonist of Halo 2, the Arbiter, whose point of view the player experiences and controls for roughly half of the game's campaign.

Campaign
The Master Chief once again appears as the main character of Halo 3, this time serving as the protagonist for the campaign's entire duration much like he did in Halo: Combat Evolved.
