I laughed at that bit when I heard it actually...
But it's just his own personal image. He's a badass. Besides, it's not like seeing his face would've had an impact on anyone.
But there was so much room for character expansion! Arrgghhh! Why did Bungie decide to not flesh out half of Noble?
I feel like it couldn't easily be done. The fans are jaded, in some ways, by Spartans. In Halo:CE, it was the first time we were laying eyes on Master Chief. We were drawn to him.
Add in the fact that there was only one protagonist to have the screen, and it would seem more likely that fleshing out five characters, half of which die 2/3 of the way into the game, in just one single game after we, the fans, are familiar with Spartans enough to loose the awe factor would just be too difficult. The game would end up with too much dialogue, which goes against how a super soldier would behave.
Then Bungie were totally BSing us when they were saying: "We want to tell an emotional human story."
If they wanted to do that, they should have realised using Spartans was not the place to start!
Shoot, the cliched Dare/Buck love story in ODST had more depth then what Noble Team had in the whole game.
Actually, in ODST, the soldiers have major personalities. You can pick some stuff out about them through combat dialogue or how they react to other characters. Little things here and there. They didn't develop as characters, but they did become ones we liked.
Same goes for the original trilogy characters. We knew where they stood. The Arbiter is the best example of a developed character in a Halo game, in my opinion. All in Halo 2. He has a redemption story and in Halo 3 kills the dude who put him as Arbiter to begin with. That's pretty ironic for Truth but justifying for the Arbiter.
