Poll: What do you think? [closed]

EDIT: First time making a topic so I didn't know poll question becomes topic title. *sigh* I can't edit that, can I?
On waypoint, there is a thread about unmasking Master Chief. I have been against it, and still am, but I think I found a nice middle ground to the subject. I will just copy/paste what I wrote in the thread:
Not fully revealed, but they could tease us. Perhaps during the final showdown his visor gets cracked, like the Elite in the concluding episode of the Headhunter motion comic, and we see a portion of his face (his eye, and bit of his cheek, or the edge of his nose). I think that would be pretty cool, actually. I'm one of those fans that would rather keep his appearance a secret, but something like the above would be quite effective. That hint of the man underneath would bring players even closer to John, without seeing his entire face.
The fact we see it through a cracked visor would be pretty powerful stuff. It would add vulnerability to the character, but yet still retains that mysticism and strength about him. Perhaps it could happen as he makes the ultimate sacrifice, or just before. Seeing Cortana raise her hand to his face, his one visible eyes looking back at her as she bids him farewell, would be moving stuff.
What do you think? Do you think that could work. I know there's the thing about applying yourself to the character but I think, with the books and games, John has become his own character. Reflecting ourselves on him doesn't work. That's more Six. John is John. I think it would be a satisfying solution.
