Subject: Why do you think The Rookie doesn't talk? Be creative.

The tragedy of war is that it uses man's best to do man's worst.

He is an undercover alien who doesn't have advanced enough vocal cords.

He knows he's in a horrible game and he doesn't want to talk to the ODSTs with terrible dialogue.

Really, Jono?

Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off.

-Master Chief

My guess is, to make him more mystorious like the game already is aka the campaign. Either that or he ran out of battery life.

Many dark and insidious matters reside in my mind. Only a few leak into the conscious realm.

He has nothing to say

He's buck sent back in time to help out himself in the past so he can get the team back together to get the engineer and his wife(in the future) to safety to give master chief the ability to save earth to get get stuck on a ship to make 343 make a sequel HALOCEPTION.

ZOMG!

That was actually pretty entertaining. More replies like this guy^ :D

It's the prestige that makes the illusion.

Guess he's more a lonewolf, and they don't talk often.
It also works very relaxing to not talk before a fight.

I find it very fun to spill some jive while fightin'. ;p

I can't remember if I've ever responded to this thread, and if I have I don't remember my response. Therefore, I say he doesn't talk because Bungie's main characters in the Halo Series were never really talkers! :)

"We live in a special time; the only time where we can observationally verify that we live in a very special time" - Lawrence Krauss.

I was a finalist :P

He talks, but at such an insanely high frequency that we can't hear him.

Either that, or his Gordon Freeman's great, great...great grandson.

The rookie is actually the Arbiter, who upon reaching the Earth with Srgt. Johnson devoted his life to be an ODST! He was shocked to find out though that this would not coincide with the time line where he was at the GAS Giant near the destroyed HALO! And that is why he knocked out!

He thinks that if he acts like Chief, he will make it out of the war alright.

Evidently, it worked.

That is actually some interesting logic there. I like that idea.
