I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

I hope he doesn't. Never ever. I don't like how they are giving him a personality, either. He is a Spartan for Pete's sake.

I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

Nah, they're going to troll us like Bioware did with Tali's face in Mass Effect.

"If he takes off the helmet, he should be you," says Marty O'Donnell, Halo 's audio director. "I mean, that's the big deal. Taking off the helmet is unacceptable." Engineering lead Chris Butcher agrees: "It's your experience. You have to be able to pour yourself into that icon." When nongamers look at the Master Chief's helmet, they see a forbidding, anonymous mask. But when gamers look at it, they see a mirror. They see themselves.

I really hope 343i realise this and how important it is. They keep messing with stuff so I really can see the Chief taking off his helmet, I just really want to be wrong.

He is a human being first, Spartan second. He may be very disciplined, but we've never seen him in a situation he was not in control, not in game at least. The books on the other hand clearly show that he's still a human somewhere in there.


...

You know, Halo's community is the only community I can think of where making a character deeper, more relatable or more human can be seen as a bad thing.

Why are you here?

Probably in the dramatic ending of Halo 6.

I hope not. Didn't they say in The Fall of Reach that he had red hair? I think that would surprise a lot of people.

I think the fact that we don't know who Master Chief is under the mask makes i a better experience, partially because then we can envision ourselves as Master Chief more easily, and partially because it creates a sense of wonder. I'm all for bringing out a little more of his human side, but don't take his helmet off. Please.

Forge World, Crazy and Everywhere

Anyone seen the episode of The Adventures of flapjack when he meets the Adventurer hero, I imagine when he takes off his mask 6 feet of hair will roll out, Silvery flowing hair with amazing volume, but his face will be your typical square jaw 5 o clock shadow face with determined face of relief and anxiety as he drifts into a black hole.

I reject your reality and substitute my own :D

Cheif's face is yet a huge mystery... just like how Jun died. No one knows but everyone would be grateful if they knew.

I Am Leanard Church! And you will fear my LAZER FACE!!!!!

I AM NOT A CHICK!!!!!! Go Red vs Blue! All Hail Caboose! ( the vehicle destroyer!)

If he ever does, it'd be best in Halo 6, when it's over. But that's a maybe. After 10+ years of wondering, no one will be satisfied with what he really looks like. I think a back-of-the-head shot could work though.

In H4's case, one of the audio guys was saying that a Spartan dropping his chest plate should feel like an anvil dropping. Apparently, this actually happens, so we know John will be removing armor pieces to a degree, revealing he isn't a robot, but not all of it.


yeah back of the head would be just enough
