The video clip below was allegedly taken from the almost concluded Halo 3 beta testing. The said phase was littered with lots of drama, glitches, and even secrets uncovered. Speaking of which, this video slightly reveals the greatest secret in the Halo universe - Master Chief's face.

Bungie Studios has always hidden the Master's face. According to the developers, one of their main reasons for hiding the main protagonist behind anonymity is to let players feel that they are Master Chief themselves. But even so, fans have always wondered at the face behind that face shield.

The video was originally uploaded by some beta testers over at online site Mythica.org. It was reported that Halo 3 will be available this coming September 25.

Either your friend said he thinks Samus from Metroid is a girl and you thought he said Master Chief from Halo, or he meant Samus but said Master Chief

This wouldn't even be Master Chief's face, just a random Spartan. You don't play as Master Chief online.

well I guess the cats out of the bag, master chief is a zombie, lol master chief is the king of the flood

before now I use to think that it was just empty space under the helmet, I use to think why would they waste design space by actually putting something under the helmet,

hmmmm I wonder if in the final game when you get sniped people can see you dead face through a massive whole in your visor lol

hes right. The graphics suck. Theyve only said their making small graphical tweaks to multiplayer but "apparently" singleplayer will look better.

But yeah if the game plays well then itl be good obviously. My only worry is it looks too much like Halo 2 - and therefore it wont be long before it gets boring and old.

 » agree

i agree 100% halo 1 good 2+3 overraded like cray-z i dont see anything new being put on the table.... i think red faction one multiplayer(if it had online) is better u can blow holes in da wall make tunnels all sorts of stuff halo has wat vehicles? so doesnt ton of games, duel weilding, been done b4 halo 2, huge maps? nope done too so why should i get this game? all characters look the same as part one nothing new..... overrated..... and small graphical tweaks?????? gears of war looks amazing online why cant halo.....?????? OVER F""ING RATED........ ;)

Gears of war is only 2 player multiplayer on one console, with halo 3 you'll probably be able to play 4 players on 1 console.

ya, except it does everything better than all those other games. oh ya, and red faction one's multiplayer was astounding. you know. playing with you and your brother. because 2 person matches against the same people are oh so much more fun than 8 person.

I wouldnt say the game looks incredible but it does look better then alot of the video make it appear. the water effects are really nice and it runs really smooth if the maps had a much larger scale id be more impressed

it looks like that in multiplayer, the graphics is way better in single-player. Its like graw, that games graphics is awful in multi and better in single. I cant even play the multi because its so awful.

and btw, i think its because of the ability to play split-screen on live! that makes the graphics to be worse.

Master Chief isn't an alien. Where the hell did you hear that? The Master Chief (John) is a genetically enhanced human. He is a Caucasian male with extremely pale skin and a crew cut

 » The scars on his left Eye prove it

This is the same physical description written in one of the Halo books. Its described as a pale man, with a short military hair cut, pale skin, and scars on his eyes. I'm betting we will know his identity in the game and we will see surviving spartans. Hmm....Spartans.....300.....a 300 Halo moment maybe?

Hey guys, do you remember the Halo TV short where we see Master Chief talking to someone at night and then fast forwards to him in a battlefield? Anyone know who that person he was was talking to? Have they been discussed in any of the Halo 1 or 2? Its juts been bothering and I always wanted to know.

Many think its Lisa (pretty sure thats her name, been a while since I read the books) from the Halo novels.

the most vaguely featured face ever! woop de *****in doo

 » and in case you didnt know

master chief is a white male! (no im not racitst i just read the halo books and its a fact that heas a white male. you dont have to read the books though just play the story and listen to him talk!) anyways, he does not have a black face. black peoples faces cant even be that black. im not ever sure if thats the outlin of a face. it could just be to make reflections look as if there was somebody in the suit.

   Re: MGSROCKS1 - 2007-06-12
 » To GW2

I'm pretty sure thats a human face. Like I said in a post above, the characteristics of his face in the video match the ones from the Halo novels.

You know Halo is big if an article like this gets 36 comments and the article for the second GTA trailer gets like 8. Maybe GTA really did get delayed because of Halo

 » a vagina

The entire time I was watching this video, it remined me of porn video's where women would stretch their ***** open and have a camera go right up and really get close. She would be constantly re-opening her vagina since it was so slippery and wet. The camera would try to get even further into her vagina and you could get a glimps of her hymen contracting and relaxing. I watched a couple videos that were the same, and they had the same charicteristics like this video; the swaying picture so that you could get a peek at everything that was in there and extra long footage of the same stuff.

Yea, Masterchief has a vagina for a face...

thats just the shadow you see through the semi transparent mask you dumb chuffers. it gives the impression there is a face behind the mask not thats hes black.

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames looks better then this. I don't want another corridor shooter and multiplayer fragfest. I like free roaming!

I'll still play Halo 3, just not buy it. I'll go rent it when it comes out.

I gonna go reserve Mercs 2 right now. Biznatch.

ill admit im somewhat of a fanboy (tho ill admit PS3 is pretty fun) but i seriously think the graphics look awesome. if youve played it on a proper tv i dont know how you could possibly disagree. they dont just look good but they look incredible to me. who knows maybe im just easily impressed

ok if the beta is anything like the realy game halo 3 will suck. this is almost like halo 2 which is ten percent better than halo 1 the graphics look TERRIBLE if you disagree with me go play call of duty 3 or resistance or gears of war or something. This game was supposed to come out last november. they took the time and it still looks like halo 2. I believe the halo series to be one of the most overrated series ever made and have played all of both the two other halos.

anyone who reads this and says OMFG its master chief is a N00b, in Multiplayer you are not Spartan 117 Master Chief you are a unknown Spartan, so hypothetically thats not Master Chiefs face, its not cannon until he actually takes his helmet off in the Campaign storyline... and yes he is a cyborg so expect something not quite human...
