After much pondering, I think I've come up with the man who is best suited to play the Chief. He's 6'10, 40'ish, buff, has pasty white skin, and could sound like the MC with the aid of a voice coach. His name is Marcus Calloway, AKA THe Undertaker! If the movie is gonna be live action, he'd be the best choice. Then again, if he was cast, half of the movie's budget would have to go into covering up his tattoos. IF not him, then just make the Chief all digital, along with Cortana, 343 Guilty Spark and the covenant. And if Vin Diesel MUST be involved, he could lend his voice to an elite.
And as for doing the Darth Vader thing, it worked for Vader because he wasn't the main character, he was the villain. Hiding his face made it difficult for the audience to identify with him, lending to the cold, unemotional persona that is ideal for a villain. That being said, the Master Chief would have to be seen without the armor so the audience can connect with him better. If he keeps the helmet on, he'll be little more than an overgrown power ranger. *shudders*
