I think he's 41. I know he's in his 40's though.

Regarding your question, I hope not. Why would we want to? Does it really make a difference?

i would rather not see his face in the actual game,
because for me that would wreck it

but there should mabye be an easter egg for thoses who want to see it

Facts are the enemy of tru7h....

I think according to the books he's mid 40's! So if thats old to you, yea then he's old...


I don't think we'll actually see his face... i remember Bungie saying something about not showing his face because they didn't want to alienate anyone. It's supposed to help players identify with hhim if they can imagine him how they want...

  • 05.11.2006 4:36 AM PDT

Hell no. It would ruin his mystique.

Nooo, it is a mystery that is best left to poder, like the lock ness monster.

Unless... he is the lock ness monster, but that would be silly.

Seriously though even this generation of gfx doesn't seem too good with life like faces, halo 1/2 face detail isn't brillian (dont get me wrong bungie is brilliant) untill there is good enough face detail i think masterchief should keep his helmet on.

I keep wondering if this would be the chiefs last days. He's lost all his spartans (maybe a few are left but still) maybe he would like to join his spartans and rest, he's not had a good life (sniff)

(reading to much into it)

I would hope not. Keeping him faceless keeps him powerful. Keeping him faceless doesn't show that he is human. Human beings can be killed, in comparison, we are fragile. If you saw John as human, he wouldn't be this Super Soldier who would stop at nothing to save the human race. If you could see his facial expressions, his emotions, then you would of course think of him differently. But I guess sometimes you can see his emotions anyway somehow. (Like in V for Vendetta with "V". If you've seen the movie you would understand)

Also, the helmet means everyone will like him. I mean, there might be some people (idiots) who don't like certain races, or if someone has sideburns, or a nose shaped in a certain way etc. so there'd be some people who wouldn't like the Master Chief because of his appearance. I'm sure it wouldn't be a really big group of people, but it would be less than what we have now, and I would not like that.

Anyway, I would not want to see his face, even if this is the last Halo and people are saying "how can you ruin it if it's the last one?". Well I say it would ruin it. It's like when someone dies, you want to remember them for something good (well, if you liked the person anyway). I would want to remember John as I see him now. Not see his face in the end of H3, be totally shocked, and that face stick in my head for the rest of my life. No, The Master Chief is faceless, he is powerful, he is strong. (I'm not really sure if that means anything, I just wanted to leave sounding philosophical and cool)
