The last words muttered by John 117 at the end of Halo 3.

Master chief is just about to reside in his Cryo-tube. Cortana says that "She will miss him." And then MC responds with something that seems very normal. "Wake me, When you need me." As he says this, there is an obvious expression of concern on Cortanas face. But let's look at that again. What exactly does he mean by 'When?' Why not say, if you need me? Could this have some possible relation to the planet shown at the end? Reach? Will MC be needed again?

Wake me, When you need me

My old Bungie.net account was created February 6, 2008. Unfortunately, I had signed up using my brother's email account (we then shared an Xbox Live account which was linked to my old Bungie.net account), and he changed the password, meaning I couldn't log in. Thus is why I have this account.

This has been brought up many times before.

Nobody knows.

I Love Lamp. And Ender's Game. Don't tell Lamp.

after seeing that video again i notice just as the cryo tube closed cortana looked as if she wanted to say something but then she stopped herself. could this mean that she wanted t ask him how he knew she would need him. also i dont know if this makes sence or not but.......bungie said this was the end of the halo trilogy.........if a 4 is made then wouldnt the trilogy be over but a saga started

why are you looking at this?

because he knows that she is sending out a beacon so the UNSC can find them, so she will need him eventually.

Good point. It's the end of a trilogy, but it could be the start of a saga. Who knows?

thats not exactly true. cortana sent out a beacon yes but the unsc might not be the ones to answer it. alien life is still out there and they might find it before the unsc. if here ever will be a halo 4 it would be cool if bungie"crys that reach is last halo game for bungie then gets over it"
i mean microsoft makes new enemys ones far more viscoius than the covenant.

finally someone who gets it

Blah.

Did you stop and think that maybe he meant it in an emotional way? Like, "When you get tired of being alone and need me, wake me." Thats how it always seemed to me, because when he says "Wake me.." he looks away, and adds "When you need me.", and the expression that i see on cortanas face is of both sadness and hopefullness, and she just nods. Then the cryotube closes, and she looks around holding her right arm, her light slowly fades with her looking down, and she vanishes.

To me, he didnt mean it in any future tacticle way, just as in a nice way that when she needs to talk or somthing, he will be there and all you need to do is wake him up.

Of course, i would expect nothing more from a close minded individual.

Just enjoy the damn game!
Who cares about BR vs AR

Surely if he had said "Wake me IF you need me" she might never have to wake him. If they encountered something where chief was not needed, he wouldn't have been woken. He says WHEN because something will happen definately, and as far as we know Cryo Sleep could last for an almost infinate amount of time, and surely something will happen before infinity comes around.

the context in which he implies Cortona to wake him says something more. It's like me asking someone to wake me up 'when' my alarm goes off. Not IF it goes off. (Just in case i dont get up by the alarm, that is.)

Halo reach is a prequel. Time travel = no.
However, once the new generation of consoles emerges, Halo 4 is a possibility.
