They’re still distinct enough that no one would confuse them.

I’ve only played the original doom, from the early 90s. In that gsme your only view of your character is a little head in the hud. This head does not have armor on. You only see a human face. The promo/box shows the armor, so I’m not saying he isn’t wearing it. I’m just saying you don’t see yourself in game wearing it.

I’ve never played halo.

All that being said, the photo in this post shows both master chief and doom guy. I have no idea which is which. 50/50 chance I get it right.

You never played multiplayer? You never saw the dead Marines in the first level? You didn’t see the box art for the game and the intro menu?

  Never played multiplayer. I don’t remember any dead marines in the first level, but it HAS been 30+ years. So, maybe my memory is lacking.
  
  And I SAID that he’s wearing armor on the promo/box art. I already.
  
  The menu I remember was seeing first person perspective running through a level, while a bunch of menu choices fell from the top of the screen until you chose one.
