RIP Bungie Service Records. You shall be missed.

He is doing a sponsered silence but no-one knows he exists.

Disconnect and Self Destruct One Bullet At A Time

SHE doesnt talk, because of a vow she took while she was child after her parents were killed by an elite, she then turned to the UNSC.

Idk, I am not the creative type.

Just playing some games that's all :3

Does he have PTVD caused by some horrifying experience in battle or even something involving family deaths? Or do you think he just prefers not to talk? If so, then why does he prefer not to talk? Anti-Social? Let's hear some possibilities. Be creative.


He must've be disturbed of something he seen in battle (Like what you said) or he just doesn't like to speak.

That was actually one of the more creative posts.

"Dear Diary: Today I learned me some aliens about the relative foolishness of messing with the ODST's!"

Well, he does speak once in the campaign, right at the very end. He says "Aw nuts".

We are timeless, bound as one, we cannot be silenced, as our song lingers on.

I think its because of the condition he has which makes him sleep a lot, he's sleeping in the drop pod before he drops, he gets knocked unconscious for six hours whilst everyone else recovers almost immediately and he is seen sleeping under the staircase while Sgt. Johnson is interrogating Virgil.

Probably some sort of Post Traumatic stress after the battle of New Jerusalem when he watched Gage Yevgenny die in a huge explosion after swearing to continue his mission.

Aside form that it was probably easier for Bungie just to not give him a face or any lines but also to make it feel like it was you.

he turned his mic offf on purpose,so he can swear at his teammates for being worse then him. After all, we all know marines and odst suck. Only spartans are worth training.

His mic has been turned off and doesn't realize it.


That is actually really funny.

Just your average nice guy playing video games here in there. Been playing Halo since Halo 2. Hope to play Halo: CE.

Anyways, love everyone.

He realized that everyone in the ODST squad is a freak and decided it was not worth talking about.

"Spartans are never missing in action, they just die, Jorge!" - Carter in The Halo Reach team is high on meth

To me Rookie's voice is like Master Chief's face, a secret

If you're being serious, you are mistaken. The Rookie doesn't speak, at all, throughout the entire campaign - cutscenes and all. I do recall somebody saying, "Aw nuts." I'm pretty sure that was either Buck or Mickey.

AXIOS you idiot.

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

Has a broken helmet speaker, like a stormtrooper?

rule of thumb: double tap

he might have a high pitched and non badass voice.

He's really Bumblebee. The other transformers died, and he wanted to blend in. He hid in a dumpster till 2552, stole a UNSC ODST uniform, and joined the war.


...but he lost his car radio in the process.

They probably made him to be more of a silent guy just to make him sound more bad-ass.?

I think it's when the poor engineer is about to asplode all over buck in Tayari Plaza.
