The hero of the story is YOU!

You control master chief every step of the way, you feel like a hero as you are supposed to. Why do some of you want MC to have a unique face?
YOU are the master chief. ALL of US are master chief.
I have enough faith in Bungie that this is what they had in mind by not showing MC's face.
It's a deep message that we are all our own heros. Like the halo 2 dvd said, Bungie wants us to feel like we are the only ones who can do what it is we do in these games.

This is so ingrained in most of our beliefs that it could also effectively explain why many of us did not think highly of playing as the arbiter in halo 2.

Either that gives me a warm sense of achievement, or I just wet myself.
PS: Nope, its achievement. *phew*

I agree, think back to the first time you saw Return of the Jedi; it was VERY anti-climatic when Vader took his helmet off. I think it would be the same with the Chief. No matter what they do it would be a disappointment.

The only think I can think of that MIGHT work is if they somehow incorporated the Xbox Live camera and somehow superimposed your face on the Chief. But that would just end up looking lame.
