Yep.

Just like the number of licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop, the world may never know...except Bungie.

Maybe.

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

His face as a boy was already revealed in a comic. But no I don't think they will show his face as an adult.

Off Topic: If you didn't know whether this belongs in this forum why didn't you just read the forum rules before posting?

Hello! You may also know me as Ijnekono. How you have made your way here I do not know, but welcome. (:

If they do, they better have a facial editor in Forge so that Machinimas can incorporate unique facial expressions (Helmet's can be on or off). Kind of like Gary's Mod but hopefully with a better system for mouth-voice matching.

They need to, we aren't 12 anymore and they need to signify that it isn't about him.

chief is just a tool.

Braaaains!

His helmet is his character. They could reveal his face though.....

Isn't Frankie head of 343 or something?

*wiki says he's Franchise Director.

Frankie is Franchise Development Director at 343i. His statement is valid.

Expressing my strong liberal views without shame. Favorite quotes below:

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
"One starts to live when he can live outside himself."

- Albert Einstein

It depends. If they do it to make him seem like a more developed character, and succeed, then I'm on board, but I don't want there to be a revelation for the sake of being a revelation.

And besides, the Chief would look like a normal white male face.

  • 07.20.2011 9:09 PM PDT

I personally wouldn't really mind that much. I'd be fine if they kept it hidden too. Just focus on exploring and developing his personality and things would be good.

I wonder if his face has ever even been drawn for the canon of it. I would guess that Bungie doesn't even have his "real" face anywhere.

If they show his face it would have to be like super white and scarred if we r to follow the description in fall of reach. tbh if they did show his face he would lose that ghost rider kinda awesomeness. but what happens now anyways cos at the end of CE Cortanas like "its over" and master chief is like "no its only just begun" then at the end of the legendary ending in halo 3 Cortana says its over and master chief agrees. so if halo is over what is it now?

I used to say let's see NOTHING, but I've become obsessed with this one idea now. I've posted it on Waypoint, and here at one point:

copy/pasted
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. It'd be quite a rush to get a tiny glimpse. It's not really revealing anything because it's just an eye; an eye that could as easily belong to anyone. You'd still have to imagine what he looks like, but at the same time this revealed eye bonds the player and 'Chief on a more intimate level.

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 eye looking back at her as she bids him farewell, would be moving stuff.

Noble Six is someone that we project ourselves onto, not Master Chief. Not anymore. After the books, and Halo 3 (which made him less of a robot), 'Chief has shed that status as a blank canvas, and he is his own character. 343 are furthering this, and humanizing him that much more. He is John, not the player. Showing his face a tiny bit brings vulnerability and emotion to the Spartan in his final hours, and that would be more powerful than showing nothing at all. Come on, seeing 'Chief with a cracked visor, his eye hinting at him in some level of pain, would break your heart, no? I can see it now. He's in a struggle with a powerful opponent, who is able to grab him by the head and head smash it against a wall, or something. His visor cracks slightly, and reveals his eye. I think my heart would skip a beat.

Don't reveal his full face, but give us a glimpse of the man underneath. Just a glimpse.

Yes, there're too many numbers in my name.

I certainly hope not, because that would sort of defeat the whole purpose of him being the everyday hero. The very reason that Bungie kept his facial expression a secret is because they wanted the player to envision themselves as the Master Chief himself, and I think they did a good job at making that the reality.

Maybe if he was Gordan, from Half-Life, or Rookie from ODST. 'Chief is his own character, though. You can't project yourself on someone who has a voice, and is clearly his/her own person.
