i keep hearing that freeman is the "everyman" and "average joe" but like i've said before, no average joe carries an armory around. and why do you need a crowbar when almost every weapon can be used to preform melee attacks. if he was as smart as his degree shows, he would know that. and if he didnt want to damage his weapons, his hev suit should augment his abilities enough to crack open any crate with a single kick. if it allows him to sprint, it should allow him to perform a very fast, heavy kick.
yeah, the master chief says things, but he only says what's needed and nothing more. he has no one liners or rambles on, he says what he needs to and it's enough to fill his comrads with hope and sight of him alone is enough to scare his enemies to their very core.
by the way, it seems to me that most of gordon's actions are never witnesses by others. and those few that knew him either wouldnt remember him or would have died except for those that are important to the plot like eli vance. sure, eli should know him, there were friends afterall.
so my question is, why is he revered as the savior and "free-man"? how is it everyone knows of him and know of his actions? what exactly DID he do to receive such a status of hope for the opressed people of city 17?
everyone knows most of what the chief has done. there were people to see him do it. if not personally then the destruction and piles of bodies he leaves behind for sake of humankind
