Halo 4 won't reveal Master Chief's face
Not that we don't know what Master Chief looks like – he's described in detail in the 2001 novel Halo: The Fall of Reach.
"The funny thing about the Chief is he's actually really well described," O'Connor tells Eurogamer. "If you went down into that line and found a nerd with a deep canon Halo t-shirt and said describe the Master Chief to this police sketch artist, that police sketch artist would then produce a perfectly accurate rendering of an older man, almost painfully pale, almost albino white, with pale blue eyes, reddish hair, close cropped to a skin head, and maybe the last remnants of freckles he had when he was a kid."
O'Connor wants to keep the mystery alive and doesn't want fans to feel alienated by an official face. "That's a device to keep the player invested in the character and keep the player from constantly being reminded that they're not a hero or that they have to be a boy or they have to be a girl, or whatever that is," O'Connor says.
Maybe it's better this way, super fans. More often than not, on-screen adaptations of book descriptions are supremely disappointing.

Well, it was already known that MC's face wouldn't ever be shown. It's up to the imagination of the player to determine what MC looks like. Even if they did it after they finish Halo 6 (343 bought the rights to a trilogy for Halo)It would most likely ruin a lot of things for people. I think it's better this way and we never see his face.

All I have to say is this :
Halo 3 forge mode no clip.
Basically fly as the lil orb into a Spartan face and you saw through the helmet to a lively face obviously put there on purpose ;)

-Turbo I hope they don't/didn't change much.
He looked good in all the halos to me..
Yeah, but they're talking about the actual man inside the suit, this time.
All the other Halo games have had the chief, but nobody's ever seen his face.
