Master Chief Going Through Changes

Master Chief is one a series protagonist that has survived over the years while many others have fallen by the wayside. It’s not because he’s endearing or empathetic, but because he is so devoid of personality that Halo players can pour their own personalities directly into him. However, that looks to be completely changing for Halo 4. Instead of just being the silent archetypal soldier, Master Chief will be getting a personality.



After people noticed Chief’s slightly-altered character design, 343’s Frank O’Connor clarified a few things about the direction the series was going. He said cryptically, “There’s some story behind his new look… There are specific reasons why he looks the way he does and why some of his behaviors have changed. We’ll see in good time.” Does this mean Master Chief will finally get a voice? It wouldn’t be the first time an iconic silent character suddenly got a personality.
