Archangel Tyrael Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Source: http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/728612/heres-why-you-wont-see-master-chiefs-face-in-halo-4/ You will not see Master Chief's face in upcoming FPS Halo 4. 343 Industries, the game's creator, says it is not ready yet for the biggest reveal in gaming since it turned out Samus was a woman. "It's funny we don't then show his face," Frank O'Connor, Franchise Development Director for Halo, said. "But that's a device to keep the player invested in the character and keep the player from constantly being reminded that they're not a hero or that they have to be a boy or they have to be a girl, or whatever that is." While casual players might think there's no way to know what Master Chief looks like, the hardcore have an idea. The Fall of Reach, a 2001 Halo-based novel written by Eric Nylund, provides a pretty in-depth description of the face underneath Chief's helmet. It's under the "Read More" tag. Here's how Frank O'Connor described Master Chief's visage, in an interview with Eurogamer. "If you went down into that line and found a nerd with a deep canon Halo t-shirt and said describe the Master Chief to this police sketch artist, that police sketch artist would then produce a perfectly accurate rendering of an older man, almost painfully pale, almost albino white, with pale blue eyes, reddish hair, close cropped to a skin head, and maybe the last remnants of freckles he had when he was a kid." The Sources opinion on this: "I don't want to see Master Chief's face. It would ruin the mystery, and if he's just a dude with red hair and pale skin, won't that be sort of a let-down?"

Eqwinoxe Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Well I saw his face and he does not have red hair. XP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slenderman Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I thought he'd be blonde haired and look like my grandpa with an extra 30 years of hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZΞRΘ Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Great article thanks for sharing this news. I second your opinion but I still think that if done right, the Halo series could conclude with master chief in a some big fight where his helmet actually breaks. He would have to be one cool Irishman a be in a 1 vs 10,000 fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 People still care about what chief looks like? There's nothing special about it, the reveal is long overdue and most should or probably have lost interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ΠΘVΛ Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 That's the perfect description of me O.o ... I'm the chief, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cry0G3n1c Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 i picture him with brown hair and an effed up face. Someone drew a pic of him like that a longgggg time ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robius5991 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I understand what Frank was talking about, but it would be a great way to end the series, with this massive reveal. When you think about it, Master Chief is one of the characters with the most mystery shrouded around him, based on who he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikslik7 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Lesson of the day: don't piss off a ginger, they might be The Chief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryu♥Hayabusa Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I care not if I see his face, but his face IS his helmet in my eyes. I have already seen his face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanShepherdD Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 The master chief has short brown hair as described in the books, Flood and First Strike. I have read them both. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarknessX03 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Well that's good. His face shouldn't be shown till the end of the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventus Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I didn't really imagine John to be a pale ginger, so I'd like him to keep his mask ON. His mask is a good enough face in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Director Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 The hardcore halo nerd would be wrong. He has brown hair, not red. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventus Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 The hardcore halo nerd would be wrong. He has brown hair, not red. Oh, thank goodness. I guess I can live with his face being revealed then. He has always been a brunette to me, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36-2071 Pragmatic Avarice Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 His face might actually be crucial to the story, as such it cannot be shown until the very end! I predict he does look normal for everything, maybe too perfect, but John's eyes are probably out of place compared to any other human or Spartan supersoldier human. Perhaps a fiery gold color?

Quantum Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I always thought of him looking like Steve Downes, but a bit more buff, and hero looking. Does anyone get what I'm saying? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
