maybe he has an ipod nano quantum inside his helmet (ipod from the year 2550) and when he puts his helmet off he cant listen to it anymore

Epic reason.

I thought you had to be 6 years old and show a sign of potential and determination, then go through years of harsh training and augmentation.
That's what they told me to get me to go to school. I thought I was getting into a war, but really I was just learning Maths.

Ah well.

I like the fact the Rookster was asleep at the start - he seems like a humourous (although quiet) character.

“I didn't want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that's really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare.”

We have absolutely no grounds to be "noticing how the Rookie acts" at this point.

If you go by the books, Master Cheif is PALE, White, Brown eyed, Pasty, Ginger. Probably from being in that suit to much.


MC is most DEFINITELY NOT GINGER!!!!!

Read the book Halo Fall Of Reach. It tells you in there.
That Master cheif is a ginger... im sorry.

Ahhh! can't believe they took it out of the dictionary ....and NO I'm not coming out of my shell untill you get that THING off my avatar

its to make the player feel more like they are the character.


good form! yes, this is exaclty correct. It just like the character creator is Mass Effect, you can put yourself in the story...makes it more believble and thus the fun factor for you and I ,as the player, is increased by a BR headshot x10 banhammers.

  • 06.22.2009 5:14 PM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

MC acts however you make him act. So yes.

He's face-less. He's meant to be the player, not the player be him.

As for personality, I wouldn't say he acts tough. His voice is awesome though, and... napping in his pod with his head down and arms crossed? Just what I would do.

  • 06.22.2009 5:15 PM PDT

shyness

  • 06.22.2009 5:21 PM PDT

IM A LEGIT 16

I don't think the Rookie looks badass...
He always looks sad to me, all alone in his pod, lookin' up to nowhere.
Big ol' visor.

He reminds me of a kitten playing with a ball of yarn.
On a button that will set off every nuke in the world.

  • 06.22.2009 5:26 PM PDT

It's not Hip-Hop, its Electro.... prick.

He is like the MC because thats how pretty much all halo protagonists are. They are faceless, this makes it so the gamer can feel that it is them that is the hero. They don't talk much, this also makes it feel like they are the character. And they are very casual, thats just how good soldiers are.

That's the point behind Bungie's main characters. They let you use your imagination as to what they look like and how they act. It lets you place yourself in their shoes. I believe that is the reason people love MC so much.

Well he seems silent like him not the talking type straight forward and almost always prepared in his defence he fell asleep ready to drop

"Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bull-blam!-, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you."-Lemmy of Motorhead

i belive shhave funzes suppos

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

Chief does talk. Chief is a leader and lone wolf, the Rookie is just a lone wolf, probably younger than chief whos about 45.

I think the only relationship is that they are both quiet in gameplay.

I think he'd make a cool Spartan.
I wasn't aware that being mute, pretending to be tough and being unable to remove a helmet made you the perfect candidate for being a Spartan.

I thought you had to be 6 years old and show a sign of potential and determination, then go through years of harsh training and augmentation.


Way to be a nerd.


I personally agree with tha OP, gresat thread.....I've never heard him talk at all, and he does act tough a lot
You've become a nerd by posting on this site like the rest of us. Congratulations, you just insulted yourself!
