It could be like Halo: CE where at the end the Master Chief removes his helmet but this time it's the rookie and we could actually get to see his face!

I hope not, for the same reasons that MC didn't.

I doubt it. I think it was Marty O'Donnell who said that the reason behind not showing the Chief's face was to make the player visualise themselves in his suit. It worked well in the main series, so I doubt that they'll show the Rookie's face.

Everyone knows it will end up like this.

Yeah, I really don't want his face to be shown because like you said you visualize yourself in the suit.

its what made the series so sucessful

The best way to show his face would be with Natal. It would capture your face, convert it into the game, and when he takes off his helmet, it's you!

This could actually work for Reach!

throwning snowballs at cars is like doing a bell ditch. The end result is basically the same: sprinting away from the large man exiting his car who yells profanities, hiding behind a house, and watching as his car patrols the street, waiting to murder you.

Asking the flood for dating advice is like you going up to a bunch of starving Africans and debating the pros and cons of the bacon roll vs the double cheeseburger.

Some one who stands for nothing shall fall for everything.

you do see is face but he does noet remove his helmet it turns his visors off and in firefight u can take of his helmet completly!!!!

Seeing as the "JD" in his name stands for "John/Jane Doe" I think they want to keep the character a mystery.

yeah i remember when i saw a different camera angle when MC took his helmet off in CE and another helmet was underneath lol we won't see the rookies face. Its part of what makes halo the game that it is
