Subject: When will Master Cheif show his face?

Master Cheif is the main reason for Halo, and ever since he took of his helmet, there was always the mystery of what he really looks like. I have always wondered when his face will show. Should it be like Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach to where your character never shows his face or should his face be shown (In Campaign, not like the Halo 3 beta)?

I don't think he'll show his face to someone whom can't spell his name right! You're NOT A TRUE FAN THEREFORE NO.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

In the books he has a personality
in the games YOU are master chief
YOU are a spartan
YOUR face is master chiefs face
thats what bungie wants us to think in the game
they want us to be master chief
thats why he never talks a lot (in the game) so we can make up what he can say for example if cortana talks to much imagine saying shut up to her as master chief


Doesn't work.

No, Master Chief is Master Chief. Bungie wanted us to put ourselves in his shoes. Noble Six was us, ourselves.

In both cases they were creating characters who were blank slates who's personalities you could fill ion yourself. Master Chief speaks pretty rarely, and even when he does he doesn't say a ton. He definitely has his own character, moreso in the expanded universe, but He was always meant to be relateable to the player. So while his face has been seen (albeit a younger version) in comics and described in books, the majority of players only know about what's in the games, so they get a deeper connection to the character. It's a first-person game, it's you looking through the visor. I doubt 343 plans on breaking that illusion by showing the Chief's face.

Actually, I find that I'm more invincible without pants, which is why I am not wearing any at the moment.

Seeing his face would ruin the character for me.

In both cases they were creating characters who were blank slates who's personalities you could fill ion yourself. Master Chien speaks pretty rarely, and even when he does he doesn't say a ton.

Lol master chien? That just made me happy :)

Hopefully...never. He's been faceless the entirety of Halo's ten years and thusly he should remain. And oddly enough, I feel a bigger connection with him and more enamored with the character with the helmet left on the Chief.

Watch This.

Never hopefully.

Why are you here?

For those of you who say it would ruin him for you if you saw his face, What if say in Halo 6, Master Chief was somehow dieing, and he had a last stand and threw his helmet off for his last battle, or such a scenario like that? I think that would be an appropriate time to finally show his face.

The campaigns for the Modern Warfare bunch have been decent IMO. I stay away from the multiplayer unless I'm tired of Reach......

When will the Master Chief show his face? Hopefully never. That would be stupid. Firstly because he might have a face that not many people like or think suits him etc, secondly because he is easier to relate to (if he doesn't have a face) as the player, and thirdly because he is just more impressive looking without a face.
However, if they were to release a movie where they showed his face that would be fine, because it would just be an interpretation of what the creators of the film believe his face to be. Really it would just be a representation of his face for the movie, not the actual thing, and I would be fine with that as long as they didn't put it into the games.

This all around

< Insert witty comment/joke here >

Benjamin!

As others have said, hopefully never.
I prefer the masked hero style, I feel more sympathetic for the Chief when he's isolated from the rest of humanity due to his armour, I think this would be ruined if he suddenly became just another man in armour. To some, the armour is the man, and that's the way it should stay.

I may have bored you on the subject matter, but my case in point still remains. Oh well...

I think his face looks fine jsut the way it is. Mysterious... =P

I don't, I don't think we should ever see his face. Taking his helmet off and seeing the back of his head or something? Sure, I wouldn't care at all about that, but I don't ever want to see his face revealed officially.
