What is your opinion? and why do you think it would be important to the game to show/ not show the chiefs face?

Does putting his "name" in brackets make it sound cool? Now there's a poll!

they shouldnt show his face because if it sucks then it would ruin everything, there is a description of him at a oung age in the book fall of reach and i think thats enough, they dont need to show his face

They have a discription of him later in life too.

It would be kickass to see the face of the man that pwns covvies in the name of earth.

No. Because one of the great things about NOT seeing is face is that you can assume the role of MC and put your identity on it. So it is not you controlling this character that saves the world, it is YOU that saves the world.

exactly, everyone will have thier own mental image of what he looks like showing it will ruin it for many.

i personally find it annoying when books are made into bad movies as it ruins my mental image of the characters and the book looses something, this isnt always the case lord of the ring improved my mental image but i think its rare for this to be pulled off properly.

I dont think we should get to see him, my reason for this is what I think he looks like may be totally different to what someone else thinks and I might not like what they think.

Basically what I am trying to say is you can't please everyone and what if the MC turns out to be some dork or even BILL GATES.

We'll see his face no doubt in the Halo movie, it should be left covered for the games. it makes his character more mysterious not having a human face.

If MC does die in H3 then we need to see his face because imagine him dieing and as not seeing his face, now that would be crappy. Who gives a continentle about imagining you're identity on MC face because we already get to see the Arbiters face and that doesn't seem to stop anyone. Common sense.

The reson the Arbiters face is shown is because it doesn't matter if his face is shown, you can still imagine him as you because he is an alien.

The chief on the other hand is human and you can't imagine him as you
