Subject: The Man underneath the Helmet

Throughout the Halo series everyone has wondered what the master chief looks like. Bungie said there is no one because they want the player to believe they are in fact the master chief. Well i have an idea. Since in ODST you have the option to take off your helmet, why not do it in Reach? Then when you take your helmet off its you. Games like Rainbow six and Fight night allow you to take a picture of your face and put it in the game. I thought why not in Halo. It be kinda cool and funny to do that. Who wouldn't like Sniping their friend in the face, then laughing because its really.. thier face haha. Plus everyone can mess around and maybe put arnold and even chuck norris as their spartans face. Yes i brought up chuck norris.

hey its just an idea
you can agree or disagree

Double chinned, spotty, greasy, prepubescent Spartans?
Oh gawd!
I like it, but theres a little too much 'variation' with peoples faces, some may terrify others. Others may distract you.
So, I am not sure about this just yet.

Because Bungie cannot moniter the content people use for there 'Face". Also the HUD is in the MJLONIR's helmet, so if there was no helmet, there is no hud. Simple as that.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

No, OP. Bungie said you won't see the Rookie's face (or hear him talk) because they want you to believe you're him.
They aren't showing the Chief's face because it eliminates the mystery that's surrounded him throughout the games.

You're forgetting about Neural Implants.

Your right, I forgot about that, at the base of the neck, but I didn't think that gave a hud on the eyes.

I'm not sure it's as literal as that, however they certainly support a visor somehow...

Wow. Just wow.

Do you know what emirsion is? Well, guess what, when playing Halo 1, 2 or 3, you ARE the Chief. You play as him, you control him, the only things you don't decide is what he says and what he does in cinematics.

I think that arguablly makes the player that character.

  • 09.13.2009 1:40 AM PDT

Since you brought the hud thing. it made me think I guess taking off your helmet would eliminate hud thus you go into hardcore mode like in call of duty. That would be kinda cool
Would add a cool new feature with no hud
But we gotta wait for odst to see the no helmet hud in firefight

  • 09.13.2009 2:50 PM PDT

You have no rights, play nice.

Uhm, great idea, just, what some people could define as a "face" could be disturbing to others, like, people using pictures of "other" parts of their bodies.

  • 09.13.2009 2:55 PM PDT

Haha lol
I understand what you mean lol
Imagine sniping these faces lol
Distrubing and funny

  • 09.14.2009 12:37 AM PDT

Um... I like Halo? I don't really know what to say. I'm a student at the moment, I hope to become a criminal profiler, and I enjoy pretty much everything as long as it's good.

Do you know what spelling is? You're not the Chief, OK. It's John-117 not you. To hell with immersion, just let us see the Chief's face Bungie.

It's a cool idea, but wouldn't it get abused?

I believe Halo is populated by more immature people than most games. I don't know if it can recognize a face, but if it can't. We would be in for a ride.

  • 09.14.2009 12:59 AM PDT

:D

I agree with naqser. if that idea is implemented, there will be more genitalia then there will be faces used. on the internet, people can be anonymous and indiotic.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Sorry for spelling incorectlly late at night, taking a shot at me like that really improved your argument, as doing this really improved mine.

And the character in every FPS IS YOU. That's the point! You're supposed to be that character, also, have you read the books? John would just look terrible. I mean he would be the palest human being you've ever seen.

Did you play Dead Space? Great game until the ending. The whole time i'm playing as some awesome badass, then at the end I find out i'm about 40-50 years old?

Not badass.

ok so far everyone likes the idea
but we all have a prob witht the content that would be use
if there could be a filter that would be a plus and everyone will be happy
honestly though i have not see any content like that in game that lets you capture your face "yet"
it may be out there but i havent seen it
if bungie was able to filter file shares i think that can filter it

Ok bungie stated and said many times you are John-117
that they want the player to be him. Thats why they have not shown his face
He may have a name and number but its still you
So you are Master Chief Spartan John-117. End of Story
( Uber Fan Boys jaws drop) LOL
