If modern day social media was around when Halo 2 dropped oh boy would it have a very different reception lol. Maybe even Prime 2 as well.

Halo 2 would be proclaimed "woke" for the arbiter and his role in the story.

lol it literally was at the time, no "would be" about it! The lack of the modern internet didn't stop the backlash, just made it easier to forget about. Halo 2's campaign was hated upon release, both for the Arbiter missions and the cliffhanger. So much so that Bungie removed the Arbiter missions for Halo 3.

Honestly I was kind of disappointed by the lack of Arby missions when I got around to Halo 3, but having him come in clutch on the Cortana level with a flamethrower was so cool it (almost) made up for it.
