Subject: The Rookie Is Like Chief

Were it so easy.

Think about it, the Rookie is the only one who's face we haven't seen yet as well as the only one who's voice we haven't heard yet. I bet he has a lot of secerets, hes very anonymous like Master Chief, maybe he used to be Spartan or something?

He's not a spartan. For one, he's not 7 feet tall and as wide as a house.

Dude...I don't even know where to start.
The reason why who don't see John's face or while playing here him talk is to allow the player to feel as if they are the character. That's exactly why they did it with the Rookie. It's for gameplay and having the player feel as though they are the character.

i lol'd, but no hes an ODST not a spartan. Seeing as ODST takes place in between H2 and H3 and all Spartans where deployed at that time. Not to mention bungie has had the idea of making a game in the perspective of the marines now you are.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

My thinking isn't so much that they are hiding his face for the sake of gameplay, I think they are hiding his entire identity for a different reason all together. I'm assuming there will be some reveal as to who he is at the end of the game. Hopefully a nod to someone in the books.

He could potentially be a Spartan-I, like they've been hinting Johnson was. There's got to be more to him than meets the eye, none of the other ODST's have their name classified.
