I'm sorry if this topic has already been created but I wonder if the Rookie will actually be somebody by the end of the game. I know Bungie is going for a character anyone can relate to (like the Chief) but I feel that it would be unsatisfying to play as a character who doesn't actually respond to what happens in the story. Do you think he should be a character by the end of the game? I think so.

Well technically the rookie is you. And i think they went for a more master chief approch with him.

I know, but do you want him to be a character instead of a blank slate?

Hey guess what!? I play CoD more than Halo, but I'm not an annoying fanboy. I love CoD more, but I like how involved the Halo Community is...

I do its boring being shot at and not having ur character yell back. But to me when romeo hit the rook with his SR his grunts sounded like Carmine from GoW to me (thats just me)

Bungie said the reason they didn't show chiefs face because then people could impose themself into the character more. i think they just took it a bit further and made the rookie mute as well.
