Subject: If you could change the way keyes died, what would happen?

I'd have him die in a cinematic on the last level, but different modes have different cinematics.
Easy
Keyes tries to catch up with Chief, but Flood kill Keyes.
Normal
Keyes is walking his dog next to the maw, but the PoA explodes.
Heroic
Keyes shows Guilty Spark how to brush teeth, but Crazy Marine comes onto the screen and shoots Keyes.
Legendary
Cortana says to Chief, "Chief, there's something you need to know about Keyes." "What?" "He choked on some popcorn. He was trying to have a snack, then... well, you know." "I understand."

I think the way he died is just fine.

A boss battle of some sort with his Combat Flood form would've been nice.

Naked girl avalanche...

It's how I'd want to go.

The way he was originally planned to completely die. The chief burns through his skull with the flamethrower to retrieve the thing(can't remember what it is at the moment).

I think instead of having him totally encased in 'Flood' (if that makes sense), just have his lower body stuck in it, so when the Chief met up with him he could still speak.

Although, I don't think the splattering brains would have gone well with the censors when the Chief retrieves the 'thing' from his head.

Keyes did speak to Cortana and the MC just before you get to the room he is in. There is a garbled radio transmission that is pretty panicked about not trying to save him. Cortana urges you on into the room, which if you run headlong into you find your tender butt right in the middle of a cramped covie vs. flood firefight! Personally, I liked the way Keyes bit it, it was alot better than the way he constantly gets killed during T&R in the final run out, he is always getting killed by either a marines badly tossed grenade or running into needles from some dumb grunt!

I'd have it where Master Chief would walk onto the bridge and see Keyes trapped within the giant flood form. Keyes would just have enough strengh left to say "Kill...me..." Then the Chief would pick up a flamethrower and burn Keyes and everything else in the room.
Meanwhile, as two grunts are watching the carnage, one of them would say "What's the big deal? Freaking waste of ammo." and the other would say "It must be a Human thing." Then they'd shrug and walk away.

Oh wait, did I rip off Alien too much on that last part? Maybe that's why Bungie never fully implemented the Flamethrower in the first game...

I always offer fair game and usually allow some "extermination" of my teammates. I think that anyone should be able to play Halo or any other game they please.
