Except.... (Destiny)

I do believe so. I've seen plenty of complaints about the fact that Master Chief doesn't make any decisions or have any agency in the games; he just does whatever Cortana (or Keyes or Hood or whoever) says he needs to do.

First of all, the chief is a good soldier that doesn't question the mission (unless it's complete and utter BS like in Halo 4). Secondly, Chief does whatever is needed to fulfill the mission, even improvising when Cortana or others don't know what to do.

Cortana: "there's nothing i can do"
Chief: "How much firepower would it take to crack the engine's shields?"

Chief: "Sir, Permission to leave the station"
Lord Hood: "why?"
Chief: "To give the covenant back their bomb."
