Master Chief's Face Finally Revealed!

Witness protection program my tail...!

Just as the multiplayer Beta of Halo 3 has ended, fresh new details have been revealed, thanks to the hard work and patience of steady-handed Beta testers Losingstreak and Shadow Chris 1. They've discovered Master Chief's face, even though Bungie never wanted users to see it!

Then again, if Bungie never intended to reveal Master Chief's face to gamers, then did they write the code? Yeah, it's a bug/glitch that gamers could see; nevertheless, it's a real humanoid face. Scroll down below to see the gameplay
footage showing a Spartan face with a scar on the left cheek. That's not an accident. The fact that it's there, not the scar itself. For all we now, it could be Master Chief's wife that marked him like that. There was a time when he sort of had a bit of a beer belly you know, so that's probably the reason.

Although his official military designation is Spartan-117, he is most often referred to simply as "Master Chief", short for his rank of Master Chief Petty Officer. The assignment of Navy enlisted rates to him and other SPARTAN-IIs resembles the usage of these rates by the United States Navy, a correlation further evidenced by the fact that his unit is attached to the UNSC's "Naval Special Warfare" division.

Anyway, don't be scared that you'll probably miss it. The video starts out with normal Halo 3 Beta gameplay. The two players must find each other and get close (real close), in order for one of them to be able to visually pierce into the other's helmet.

Master Chief doesn't look human all that, does he? Look at his eyes. But then again, I suppose Bungie never had plans to reveal Spartan-117's face, as what we're seeing below is something saying "just in case!" ("Just in case they think of visually piercing through another player's helmet, right through that spot that we intentionally let unprotected!" - not a Bungie statement, don't get too excited).

Bungie has two options now:

- patch Master Chief's helmet and never say anything about his face again, as they probably haven't got anything prepared;
- staff will be working overtime to come up with a good Master Chief face model (scar and all) to keep fans pleased, now that they've discovered it.

Something's coming soon, I can feel it!

So you think since it's a real spartan they're not going to paste Chief's face to all? You think they made different for chief and multiplayer spartans? I think it's just copied to the other soldiers.

in the book it physically state he is whit brown hair, handsome, strong chin, serious eyes. When he was a kid he had light freckles and a small gap between his teeth. In the 3rd book First Strike, Dr. Halsey is doing surgery on Linda. It says that they cloned skin, and made it so no scars are visible, with few exceptions. I know this to be fact. I hope that helped.

P.S I don't think bungie would give out his face, because they want everyone to have their own idea of what he looks like to make the game more personal.

i just played the first halo one again on computer and beat the game but when they zoom away form the ship that's when he takes off his helmet. maybe in halo reach we will see it.

Maybe.

I dont know if this has been suggested, but maybe between the beta and the full game Bungie were planning to make the visor penatratable in a headshot or something, like, for a realistic effect, and possible scrapped it.
