did Master Chief retroactively win WWI for us

actually that would be a hilarious game

send a superpowered trooper back in time to a 19th or 20th century war.

have him tear up enemy troops Dynasty Warriors style

I am hoping for an ad from a victim of a Covenant death camp who was liberated by Master Chief and friends.  He can talk about how the Brutes would take their watches and jewelry, and march them to the showers, where they were gassed.  He was next in line, when Master Chief blew up the camp wall with a plasma grenade.  He killed all the Brutes  with a warthog full of pain.  The he passes out Mountain Dew™ Game Fuel® to all the death camp survivors, who were instantly revived by its energy contents and marched on towards freedom!

I dunno.  I'd like it better if the freed Marines were talking about watches up their ass or something.
