guys i think he dose not talk because:


He's the main character. He's is supposed to be you.I play halo ODST he's me.you play halo ODST he's you.It would be you if the rookie took of his helmet it would be your face and Bungie does not know what you look like.And if the rookie talked he would sound like you and Bungie does not know what you sound like so i guess they cut out the words.When Dare asks:"What's your name again?" a phantom comes out of nowhere when the rookie could have said his name and then the phantom comes.

he WAS talking, but in such a high pitch that only a dog can hear it!

I got it.

The Rookie is actually Caboose, but he's in a sound-proofed helmet.

he does not talk because he saw his girlfriend cheat him and then romeo took her and he never talked again in sadness

  • 09.26.2011 12:39 PM PDT

he saw romeo and buck do ghey stuff so since then he was quiet

  • 09.26.2011 12:39 PM PDT

he's an alien that understands english but he cannot speak english so when he talks you hear him mumble random sounds like a baby so he decided to stay quiet for the rest of his life

  • 09.26.2011 12:41 PM PDT

Because he helped set the whole gaming experience. You kinda feel like the only person alive for a little bit, so what would be the use? He would be talking to himself a good portion of the game.

  • 09.26.2011 6:10 PM PDT

I got another theory...

HE IS MICHAEL J. CABOOSE. AND WHEN HE ATE YOUR UNHAPPINESS...

HE LOST HIS VOCAL CORDS!!!!

Now who read that in O'Malley's voice?

That...is disgusting.

Silver figure, the fire burns, purifies through the tragedy. See, A shiver deep, runs through the flesh and blood - penetrates

Every time he tries to talk, someone immediately starts talking over him loudly and drowning him out, till he finally gave up.

  • 09.28.2011 3:21 PM PDT

He was molested as a child and is now mentally scared so he decided to join the U.N.S.C

  • 09.28.2011 5:00 PM PDT

  • gamertag: [none]
  • user homepage:

Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

to maintain a mysterious personality, like batman.
wonder what he would be like if he was running of at the mouth every few seconds like spiderman.

The DMR is a good weapon, not a sniper.
People overuse armour lock to much when getting killed.

He is secretly caboose and dosent want to team kill.

The Rookie once talked way too much, this annoyed his comrades so they duck taped his mouth.

...and when his voice broke through the duct tape, an Elite had his mouth replaced with mandibles.
