Subject: "The Rookie"

I have to say.. I'm a little disappointed with the main character. The MC was a tough man, but when I look at this "rookie" guy.. I can't help but thinking that he looks like a kid.

And it doesn't help that his age is "classified" and that his occupation is a student.

Please, don't tell me he's a 14 year old kid. I was pumped for this game but I can't help but feeling a sense of childishness about this..

Halo was a mature game with a fairly deep story line. ( hence the rating.. ) but I'm definitely not going to buy this game for a while.. maybe after I watch a lot of gameplay videos on youtube and I make sure that it's good, I'll buy it.

Does anyone else feel this way? maybe I'm just overreacting.

He's at least 18. Also, he's quiet, efficient, and the only reason he's "the Rookie" is because he's new to the ODSTs.

He's at least 18+, and he doesn't say anything either. You'll never know who he really is...

He's new to the squad, not neccessarily to the ODSTs...

?? Chief is most definitely not 17...He was born in 2505 as he was six when he was conscripted into the Spartan Programme in 2511 if i'm not mistaken...Halo 3 ends in 2553 so physically he's about 48.

EDIT: Got my dates mixed up; Chief was born about 2511 and conscripted in 2517.

Mmmhmm, i got my dates mixed up. I new 2511 was important but it's when he was roughly born rather than when he was conscripted. My bad. We all make mistakes sometimes :D

You are overreacting. The reason is just because he's the "Rookie" doesn't mean he's young it just means he's new to the squad and so therefore get's the F.N.G. status

He's new to this specific not the ODST's

He was apart of the 26th MEF which was almost completely annihilated on New Jerusalem
and he was transferred there after
