In this monts issue of OXM, they posted a picture from the Halo 3 trailer, that reveals what looks like Master Cheif's face through the visor. I don't feel like scanning the picture now, but I will repeat what they said:

Originally posted by Official Xbox Magazine

The Buzz: This image, taken from the Halo 3 announcement trailer and available as one of the backgrounds in the Halo 3 Dashboard Theme on Xbox Live Marketplace, shows Master Cheif's face through the visor of his MJOLNIR armor helmet, revealing our hero to be a ghostly white soldier with a scar on his cheek. That, or it's simply a reflection of out-of-frame ships in the distance. The Halo fan world is ablaze with theories as to which it is.

Our Take: We, of course, went right to Bungie to try and set the record straight. They told us, "Bungie's official comment on this one is, 'No comment.'" This leaves us to guess for ourselves. We're inclined to believe that this image is indeed Spartan 117 in the flesh, for three reasons:


  1. The Xbox 360 is fully capable of rendering real-time reflections on the Cheif's visor (as proven in the trailer). Who's to say that the surface can't also be translucent?


  2. If you look closely at the image, the alleged face and head sit right where they should inside the helmet.


  3. Master cheif is described in the Halo novels - paperbacks written under the strict "Halo Bible" laws handed down by Bungie - as having skin that "hadn't been exposed to the sun for a long tiem and was white, too white, like something that lived in the deep recesses of a cave" (Halo: The Flood, page 91).



That's it, word for word (minus typos). Image coming soon...

I really hope they do NOT do this. =

Think of it like a V for Vendetta case, its not the outside that matters. Meh, I just think it'll be better off if we never get to see his face.

Ya, that's what, I believe GI, said when they analyzed the Halo 3 trailer. On a similar note, someone sent in a letter saying that maybe the Spartan in the trailer isn't Master Cheirf, that maybe it is a different Spartan, which would accound for the different armor, and the battle rifle.

And would also make sense if Bungie would actually respect the storyline entirely, with the books. Cleary according to the books there's still a few Spartans left, other than the Master Chief.

That was one big vibe I had with Halo 2. I seemed to completely ignore the events in Halo: First Strike. I mean I know they want to make it so people wouldn't have to read the books to get everything they can out of the universe, but ugh.

I really hope it isnt MC's face.Though i would like to see it sooner or later, like end of the gae or something.Also, i dont think it would be any of the other surviving spartans because Cortana is in his helmet and MC is the only one that she wants to be in and was assigned to (in Fall of Reach).

Ahem...

Noah your a fucktard...

Bungie has stated multiple times that THEY WILL NEVER SHOW THE CHEIFS FACE EVER!!!!...

As for surviving spartans. Kelly is the only one that makes sense as she went off with Dr.Halsey when Dr.Halsey drugged her...

Okay, calm down Chris, a lack of knowledge doesn't make me stupid, just uninformed. The brand new issue of OXM is talking about Cheif's face....so....

Also, I haven't read any of the halo books.

Spartan, knock off the flaming. I don't care if you know him in real life, there is no excuse for calling him a fucktard. I'd have thought that you would have learned that by now.

If they do show the face, that would be kinda cool. However I think it might just be a reflection.

Is that better? Also, for those who want to know what it says:

EYES: Who needs an iris or pupils when your a badass?

SCAR: Cheif's been through some wars, but chicks dig scars.

NOSE: It's pretty non-descript in this pic, but it's definately there.

This is a deserving bump, which kinda proves Spartan right...although he didn't have to be so rude about it:

Originally posted by OXM

No doubt you've already received a flurry of letters about Ryan McCaffrey's article in OXM #62 regarding the alleged snapshot of Master Chief's face, but I thought I'd weigh in as a longtime 3D artist.
If you watch the high-def footage even casually, you can see the elements of the scenery reflected clearly in the faceplate as the Chief approaches the edge of the cliff. His so-called "eye" is actually the swirling vortex in the clouds above the whatever-it-is rising up from the ground, while his supposed "scar" is a product of the beveled edge of the faceplate. As the Chief turns his head in the close-up view, these parts of the face don't rotate as facial features would; they maintain their position in accordance with the angle of the camera's perspective. While everything happens to line up nicely in the Dashboard snapshot you printed, a frame-by-frame analysis reveals that this alignment is only a coincidence (much like the infamous "Face on Mars").
Blame the misunderstanding on Bungie for making the Chief such a compelling and mysterious character, and for making the Halo universe such a great playground.
~Edward W. Swan

Plenty of readers shared your opinion in response to our face expose, Edward, so maybe you have a point. Still, we're not totally convinced that the screenshot doesn't suggest what lies beneath the Chief's mask - or that we won't see his Casper-white visage at some point during Halo 3. Of course, we'd love to be wrong: as we're said in previous Halo articles, we hope what lies beneath that armored helmet stands unrevealed by the game's end. the Chief's way cooler as an unknown mystery figure.


Personally, I don't care. I didn't even realize it was a big deal until people said so. I was like "Huh, oh yeah, his face." I mean, what's the big deal whether or not they show it, I mean, they describe it in the books right? So we know what it looks like. Whatever.

Now that we have proved that Spartan happens to know what he is talking about...as it is his namesake...I chip in with a little plot ruiner...

There are existing Spartan-3's wearing armor nothing like the Spartan-2's

SPI armor it is called...there have been about 1300+ Spartan 3's sent on all kinds of suicide missions...

I personally don't think they should ever have released Master Chiefs face or something close to his face at all. I like it to be left up to the imagination.
