Hush. If you’re quiet enough, you can hear it on lips of unborn babes.

I know this has been posted before but it doesn't seem to have gathered any attention. Nonetheless, it's news to me!

I made a thread about how the Rookie could possibly be a Spartan 1 and one of the reponses I got was that the Rookie was put in the game only to have a character we could play as and so we could feel like we were actually the main character.

Fine. I can accept that as plausible. But one other thing this person posted is that the JD in the the Rookie's bio stands for John Doe. This would support the idea that the Rookie is just someone with limited backstory and is simply there so we can play as someone. This might explain why most of his info is classified, seeing as how we as the player of Halo 3:ODST would simply insert our information in the classified parts.

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

The Rookie can't be a Spartan I, look it up, lol. He's like 24.

It's Jane Doe, by the way.

Would you prefer I make a thread about how multiplayer sucks? Or how the Battle Rifle should be an inst-kill weapon? Or how Bungie should create a Forge mode in which we can create entire video games?

Really? Seeing as how the only information we were given about his age is that it is classified, how do you know he's like 24?

I wish our character could have a full story, and a view of there face for once.

Until then, the rookie is my least favorite ODST. Mickey has WAY cooler armor, anyways.

I agree. I was suprised to hear the whole "You're supposed to feel like you ARE the Chief" when we didn't see the MC's face in Halo 3(even though people had already seen what it would have looked like in the Beta). But I could understand why Bungie would do this with ODST since it isn't even viewed as a full game, with the campaign being around 4-5 hours long.
