Why do people hate on Del Rio so much?

Yeah, he's an asshole, but look at it from his point of view: You're in charge of the biggest, most technologically advanced ship humanity has ever built. Thousands of people are on board. Then all of a sudden, the ship is dragged forcefully to a strange world and attacked by an unknown enemy. You and your crew barely survive, and there's an opening to retreat, report to command, and receive reinforcements. But a formerly MIA Spartan and his clearly rampant AI companion tell you to [i]stay?[/i] Wouldn't you have the same reaction Del Rio did? I know Master Chief is a hero and all, but we don't know what the hell we're dealing with, and I sure as well wouldn't go in guns a blazing, unnecessarily risking the ship and the crew's lives. And he gets removed from command for that. What the hell?

  • Andrew Del Rio was a character designed to make Chief's loyalty to Cortana more evident. Why else would they make him the Captain of the [i]Infinity[/i], when Lasky was obviously a more capable choice? The fact that John defied Del Rio shows he's 100% committed to Cortana, which would later add a more devastating loss when [spoiler]she dies.[/spoiler] [i]Halo 4's[/i] story is actually quite good, but short. [i]Oh,[/i] and I forgot. It isn't [i]Bungie.[/i] So it must be bad.
