The Face of Halo’s Master Chief

This video has been circulating around the net, and it pretty much shows the face of Halo’s resident action hero, Master Chief. The face can be seen thanks to two players inn the beta who worked together to force the camera inside his helmet. Granted, it’s really shadowy and all you can really make out are some basic facial features, but it’s this is still the first tiem we’ve really seen anything underneath that helmet. I’m mostly surprised they actually put anything resembling a face behind the mirror-like visor though.

I wish I had seen this when we had the Beta, as we surely would have tried on our own. Makes me wonder about easter eggs and info about the storyline that may or may not have been hidden in the Beta…
Perhaps the mixture of the glare from the visor/helmet and the shadow of being inside it, but he don’t look non-too-pretty. This should be an interesting revelation.
Try to pause it when the guy shoots his gun you get a clear picture of his face and it looks a little dirty but you can see his eye and part of his nose, (his eye is greenish/blue)
Interesting, he looks oddly similar to the original ‘Elite’ i wonder if maybe master chief is not human at all but an alien!
This game is going to be awesome. It looks like Chief is smoking a cigar.
In multiplayer, your playing as a spartan soldier, not master chief
I hope we can get a screengrab where he shoots the gun.
LOL, he has a small head.
This is multiplayer where you play as a generic spartan it doesn’t mean that the face is the same as Master Chiefs
Well since I read the books I kind of expected a scared and all around ugly face.
It’s Kane….
I think i got a grab…heres a link:

Anyone else find this clip a bit creepy? The ghostlike face…the thumps of the exhaust?
he has one scarred eye
Heh, that’s pretty cool. I doubt he’ll be winning any beauty contests anytime soon, though…

talk about a waste of time
I always knew the chief would be a brotha! Oh, and for a blog as prominent as this one, you might wanna spell check your article a few times through.
Scars are hot.

Have you read the books? He’s a genetically engineering super soldier who was abducted when he was about six year’s old and ‘experiemented’ on until he and the rest of his team reached about 18. Many died just going through the operation.
Neat video.
the reason it looks ghostly is because he is always in the helmet and never gets any sun light which is why he’s pale.
if you read the book, the fall of reach the training exercises usually hurt them, like when he gets attacked by the fighter plane, also they were sent on missions to rebel bases and got attacked there. this explains why he is scarred.
also it may not be the chief as there were over 100 Spartans made, most of them died but some survived the attack on reach, in the book ghosts of onyx, you hear of a spartan which survived and now helps in the battle.
also if you have seen the front cover of ghosts of onyx you can see other warriors known as spartan lll, if you have seen the leaked pictures of customized multi player characters you can put together part of the plot for halo 3 as why would they include them if they were not relevant, halo 2 had elites because you played as them in he game, you decide what to believe
For those who are making the statement “in multiplayer its a spartan, not master chief”, I just have this to say: come on. They use the same damn model. Get over it.
Got a screen shot from when the gun is fired. Hope this works.

LAST LEVEL OF HALO 3:

falls to the ground and he looks up and it turns out to be non other then PAC-MAN!
(lol i got thwe idea from that link the guy posted cuz he look a little yellow
thanks for the information !
@ happy gamer,
you speak of spell check, then you use gibberish like ‘wanna’ and ‘brotha’. Way to back up an argument.
Dylan is a fag!
LOL
I think you all are seriously wanting it to be the master chiefs face. I think the more likely conclusion is that it is just a graphical rendering of the back of his visor. I mean it seems like a real stretch to say that that is a face at all.
lol, burn victim
I’m sure that bungie has a reason for laying out this easter egg, and I don’t think that, that is spartan John-117
I have to agree with Shig on this one. Why would Bungie spend even more time creating a multiplayer SPARTAN which is, in almost every aspect, EXACTLY the same as the single player Master Chief model? Okay, okay, so maybe they did want to create a multiplayer model to completely waste precious disc space, for the sole purpose of screwing with your creative minds and creating massive amounts of hype and speculation that we ALL know Bungie wants. (Actually, I don’t know if they want Halo 3 publicized or not. Heh.) Bet your bottom dollar that this is the same exact model from the campaign though.
And as for spell check, “wanna” and “brotha” aren’t mispelled because they are SLANG words. I think spell check was brought up as a topic here because of some misspeld wurds. Heh.
Anyone think the face looks like a Strogg?
no it cant be him its impossible it cant be CAPTAIN KEYS i saw him die nooooooooo nah i just thought for a second that he lookt like keys.
Hah, when there’s he’s not firing the gun, it looks alot like…
Can it be?
Dare I believe?
Mario!!
dude holy crap none of my friends even know about this
dude wtf i mean the face looks like a deamon cuz no eyes glow like that and i mean who cars mc still kicks ass and halo still rocks
It’s not Master Chief, it’s a spartan. This doesn’t give us any knowledge of what MC looks like. At least not until Halo 3 is released at anyrate. >:3
ok ill give u that there but i dont care if the chief is a girl or a guy cuz if u get down to that u start bein sexest and that ant cool + i mean the games are good the storyline rocks the music is rocking the whole halo series is just the shit
why would they put the face in there? if it wasit master chief why would bungie even brother making another spartans face? that face that we all saw on the beta was probery gonna show up in the halo 3 game but more detailed.
Id like to point out a few things to
1: Master chief is not black they said in the novels that he was a white boy with red hair
2:he is not a female we have all heard his voice
3: he is not a alien he is a human
YAY!
ok yea but mc could have some sort od shit like thing that alters his voice and and to your other things yes i also cant see y the put the face it their and hes totaly not alen but i mean the eyes he has a scar under his left eye i mean the hole shit can be found in the cortana files i mean they are the true basic start of halo
wow this video is long
Master Chief is a guy. Read the books! He is scarred because of fights and tests done to him. He is white. as for that gun firing eye thing, ITS JUST A REFLECTION NOT AN EYE!!!
Although i admit the face looks girly so maybe the developers didnt read. And for those who say its not master chief, why the hell would they make a completly differnet model for every multiplayer character, its the model for chief to. I bet they show his face in the end og Halo 3 anyway so get over it.
oh oh yeah right evry1 knows that when u play multi ur a spartan model so thats not masterchief dee dee dee
but master chief is the last of the spartans dumbass
lol @ generic spartans
All the spartans from MC’s day are dead. There are probably more spartans, but they haven’t been introduced into the series yet, so currently Masterchief is the only spartan, except for people from Sparta, of course.
exactly
all these ppl asshole
