Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy. Master Chief has always been more about his armor than his character, which had to change for the Halo TV show now on Paramount Plus, according to actor Pablo Schreiber. I figured there was some context that would make sense.

I’d argue it’s definitely not for the better.įollow me on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. Steve Downes has voiced the Master Chief in the Halo games since his 2001 debut, and his voice has become synonymous with the character. But it’s certainly not helping things, and I hope they realize how much this warps the perception of the character in very odd ways. Halo Infinite is out and here we follow Master Chief as he goes to finish the fight against the covenant scum with a UNSC marine. For the upcoming Halo TV show, original Master Chief voice actor Steve Downes was recast, despite Cortana voice actor Jen Taylor reprising her role from the iconic video game franchise. Chief could have kept it on the entire time in episode 2 and I still don’t think it would have helped that very weirdly scripted outing. I don’t think the helmet is the only problem with the Halo show. I have to believe even those making the show knew how controversial this would be, which is why they avoided ever showing Chief without his helmet in the marketing, even though he’s clearly helmetless the majority of the time.

Halo Infinite: With Steve Downes, Jen Taylor, Nicolas Roye, Bruce Thomas. "But the character is never revealed in any excessive way, so that you can project your own personality onto him." "In a first-person shooter video game, the character is created very specifically for the purposes of the game, you're meant to believe that you're the Master Chief," Pablo Schreiber told Polygon. However, according to Pablo Schreiber, removing Master Chief's helmet early on in the show was needed to allow fans to disassociate with their own video game version of Master Chief.
"The mystery of what the Master Chief looks like has always been a question long pondered by fans and should remain so, because it's what makes him Master Chief." Like, I dunno, NEVER ever seeing his face. When all hope is lost and humanitys fate hangs in the balance, Master Chief is ready to confront the most ruthless foe hes ever faced. Huy Dang adds: " REALLY need to learn the lore of the franchise and know things about the Master Chief that make him great. Halo Infinite: With Steve Downes, Jen Taylor, Nicolas Roye, Bruce Thomas. Like imagine Darth Vader or Samus showing their face after their first battle. "Maybe cut to the back of his head and still have the scene.
