Master Chief had a romantic storyline and even had sex in Season 1 of the Halo TV show, and that was a "huge mistake," according to Master Chief actor Pablo Schreiber. He said in the newest issue of SFX Magazine that the relationship between Master Chief and Makee (Charlie Murphy) was a bad idea that he fought unsuccessfully to stop.

"The decision to make the connection between Makee and John a romantic connection was a huge mistake," Schreiber said (via GamesRadar). "I felt it was a huge mistake at the time and I argued against it and fought against it. But I am who I am. I don't write the scripts. I only give my opinion. It wasn't listened to."

Plenty of Halo viewers did not enjoy this storyline either, and the sex scene specifically irked some because Cortana herself was standing by watching.
