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


EVIDENCE?

There isn't any evidence because it didn't happen.

Jack

He's playing an intensely long game of charades.

Walk by faith. Dude. Not by sight.

He is wise. Slow to speak, slow to anger, quick to listen.

the rookie is a silent sufferer-er

  • 09.16.2011 1:50 PM PDT

hes got a migrane from the crying grunts about losing thier brute leader so he keeps quiet to keep his migrain to a minimum plus he wears the white stripe of shame so he isnt allowed to talk

Hahaha. I liked this one, very amusing.

He's a mime!

you are the rookie, so it is fitting for him not to say anything because he can't tell what you'd say. same goes for noble six

I haven't checked if anyone has already posted this but...

Don't smoke cigarettes, kids, or you won't be able to talk.

The Rookie was a pack-a-day smoker for over 20 years.

As a result, he developed lung cancer which restricted his breathing & speaking to a small tube cut out in his throat.
He was able to speak before joining the Marines by using a small device that he would insert into the hole in his throat.
However, his armor restricted his ability to do this, and as a result, he was never able to speak ever again.

So I hope you have learned your lesson everybody.

Smoking is bad for you.

Really bad.

No, Noble Six is his own character. He just doesn't talk at all. Noble Six was supposed to be ourselves because we customized him with our armor, to our liking.

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.


lol this is the winner hands down winner!

Indeed, it was a good one. The best? Ehhh...maybe. We'll see what others, who have yet to post, come up with.

It's similar to how Marlowe was treated in battlefield bad company as in all the cut scenes he would never talk, he was just a spectator and thus the rookie is similar. The rookie like Marlowe never spoke just followed orders in the cut scenes and then when it ended you resumed your role as the soldier like in ODST just continue the mission.

I realise the point to this topic is to be creative as to why he doesn't talk yet ^ can be considered creative to a degree :)

He was once with a captain who he had a friendly bond with his captain was badly injured and was going to sacrifice himself and the last thing rookie said was bye THE END or he was in his room and heard buck and dare lovin through the wall and buck told him to keep his mouth shut

My Gamertag is Mr Naughty Body.

I may be short, but my heart is tall.

He has a speech impediment where he can't correctly say his 'Rs,' so he ends up sounding like the "I like turtles" kid, and he's embarrassed about it.

Somebody already posted it, but this is a big thread and I don't feel like reading all of it to know if it's been said yet.

His throat was injured, but not enough to kill him, but enough to lose his speech.

Or he went on the reach forums and saw what horrors the trolls links are.

it's because he didn't go to school, so that's why he only knows how to say that
