Can the spartans die during a campaign mission or will they be "invincible" like arbiter and johnson in halo 3? I read the first 2 books and there weren't alot of spartans on reach so I can't imagaine a spartan dying in the middle of a level and the game continuing. I think Bungie could do 3 things.

a.If a spartan die, the game reverts to the last checkpoint. Kind of like the 3rd level in the original halo if keyes dies.
But this could lead to babysitting them if you play on the higher difficulties like legendary.

b.Make them invincible. But this kind of takes away the realism and that "was a close call" moments.

c.Add a revive system similar to gow/l4d. If a spartan loses their health, they fall to the ground and you have to revive them or something to that extent.

What do you guys think Bungie might do?

Awesome isn’t just a word. Awesome is a way of life. Awesome is a way of war. Teamwork matters the most. Lone Wolves jeopardize the missions. Teamwork is key. Resistance is futile. The covenant fear us, not the other way around. We don’t fight for Earth. We don’t fight for Reach. We fight for the good of mankind because we are A.W.E.S.O.M.E.

oh death was never enemy of ours

well, the spartans do end up dead, so i think it would be cool that at a certain point in the campaign the Spartan you are playing as dies

That would piss me off. I spend 10+ hours kicking Covenant ass only to end up dead? Why would I bother in the first place?

"From the beginning, you know the end".
I've never heard of a Spartan 320, nor a Spartan 259. Thus, they most likely end up dieing in the game if we ever see them.

You will probably play as one or more than one of the Spartans that survived Reach because I dont think Bungie would make a game where you die at the end. However there are planety of other Spartans in the fight and alot of them do die. Personally I dont think it will be in game but more like a video....similar to Johnson.
