Game Rant spoke to Halo 5's creative director, Tom Longo, at Microsoft's X15 event and asked if fans will finally get to see Master Chiefs face in the upcoming Halo game, Halo 5: Guardians. Sadly for some, it won't be happening. Tom Longo confirmed that he will have his helmet on at all times in Halo 5. For now Halo 4's legendary ending will be the closest we will ever get to see what Mr. John 117 will look like. If you remember (and I'm sure you do) players only got to see the Chief's eyes before the screen abruptly goes to black, leaving fans teased and curious. Although we do know what John looked as a kid from other Halo media such as the Halo: Fall of Reach- Boot Camp graphic novel, where a kid John 117 posed on the front cover of the comic. We also seen him as a child in Halo 4's live action trailer . So for now Chief's helmet is going to be firmly on in Halo 5: Guardians and his face will be well hidden for another while. Do you think Master Chief's face will be shown at some point in the future? Would you like to finally see what he looks like once and for all, or do would want him to be kept as a faceless hero? Leave a comment below and tell us what you think.
