Because Bungie for some reason thinks that a silent protagonist gets the player more involved in the story.

Yeah, I understand. But, be creative. This isn't to state the real reason why he doesn't talk. Although, aside from Bungie not wanting him to, that's still a mystery.

“Oh, it’s a little bit of everything, it’s the mountains, it’s the fog, it’s the news at six o’clock, it’s the death of my first dog, it’s the angels up above me, it’s the song that they don’t sing, It’s a little bit of everything.”
- Dawes, A little bit of everything

He's one of those "strong silent" types.

Maybe he's just quiet. I'm quiet, and I like quiet people.

I like quiet people too. A lot easier on the ears. lol. Except, anti-social people. They're hard to make friends with.

Azure Deity - Helljumping Since The Start.

He got hit with a plasma pistol, fried his suit and knocked him out cold ... Woke up, gettin' the old Halo stereotype death celebration performed. ... bit down. The Unggoy didn't scream, just fell dead as the automag popped a hole in his head.

Little did he know about cross species contamination and two weeks later the doctors declared him mute. He was then returned to active service as an ODST for an honourable act.

Bang.

Unfortunately there is nothing amusing or witty here.

He was born without a mouth.

I didn't really get the waking up part...Unless the Grunt was r@ping him or something, but good. I would like to see more posts like these! :D (NOT implying I want to see more r@pe posts...if that's what it is. >.>)

then again he has human like hands and when he is hurt he makes gruntslike a person and blood comes out when u get shot good theory but that wouldn't make sense

Hahahahaha. Yeah, Kat and The Rookie hooked up...Kat likes it a bit rough. Regrettably, Rookie's tongue was lost...

If youll notice throughout the campaign, he never gets a chance to talk. The rookie basically cant get a word in edgeways.

Never fear for I am NOT here!

Maybe he's trying to break a world record, for how long he can't speak!

He's a mute and moonlights as a mime.
