Sarah Palmer (Halo)

Sarah Palmer (service number: 65287-98303-SP) is a character from the Halo series and the leader of the Spartans of the UNSC Infinity. She has received a negative reception from the Halo community since her debut in Halo 4.

Why She Sucks

 * 1) Her line about Master Chief's height "I thought you'd be taller." is supposed to be a reference to the often-used Marine combat dialogue from Halo: Combat Evolved ("Woah, he's taller than I thought!"), but fans mostly see this as a poorly written line.
 * 2) She was a cruel jerk towards Catherine Halsey throughout Spartans Ops as by example that she was determined to kill her if necessary which however is clearly unnecessary because Halsey is creator of the original Spartans who are designed to fight against Insurrectionists.
 * 3) *An infamous moment is that she literally shot Halsey's shoulder, ruining Thorne's chance of rescuing her and having her turned against the UNSC at the end of Spartans Ops.
 * 4) *What is worse is that she didn't even show remorse about what she has done even in Halo: Escalation.
 * 5) She's not just a jerk towards Halsey according to pointer #2, she can also be this way to some of the others like Miller and Dalton.
 * 6) *She's also a hypocrite when in one point in Halo: Escalaton she cut off Miller's transmission due to being "annoying", yet she's the one being annoying herself.
 * 7) It was her own fault for having the Infinity locked in orbit on Requiem after she ordered Crimson to recover an artifact from the planet.
 * 8) She even shot Lord Hood in the leg while trying to tackle Scruggs and psychotically murdered him. While it can be justified that this was justified to try to prevent Lord Hood from getting executed and of Scruggs' betrayal, what she did was still very psychotic.
 * 9) In Halo 5: Guardians, she is the forced announcer for Warzone unless you can get the Voices of War Pack, which is a paid DLC.
 * 10) She first comes off as being pointless, arrogant and jerkish character but later got worst after she was flanderized into being an annoying and boring character, as alluded to in the pointer about her being the default Warzone announcer.
 * 11) She doesn't even show much personality at all when being the Warzone announcer.
 * 12) She IS the leader of the Spartans aboard the UNSC Infinity despite having had less experience than the Spartan-IIs like Master Chief, Fred-104 (Lieutenant Junior Grade), Kelly-087, and Linda-058.
 * 13) She gets into a fit of rage when things do not go her way like how she never got the chance to kill Halsey which not only was it sadistic of her but also very immature.
 * 14) *As shown by how much of a womanchild she can sometimes be, she banged on a holotable leaving a dent which is vandalism.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) She was better in Halo 4 and its Spartan Ops episodic multiplayer campaign.
 * 2) Her voice actress Jennifer Hale actually does a decent job voicing Palmer.

Trivia

 * Palmer is the main protagonist of the Halo top-down spinoff Halo: Spartan Assault, which was released in 2013.
