Why at the very end, does he escape? after an explosion like that, he should just be obliterated. and no i haven't just seen it.... i was just thinking of it. Even if you shoot him with a rocket launcher, he still doesn't die. Bungie programers, please tell me. Oh, if any body else agrees, tell me

Its Monitor, by the way. Learn to spell.

I totally agree with you. I think it'd be awesome to see his frame blow to pieces. But he probably survived the explosion on Halo because Halo merely broke into large pieces, it never disintegrated into dust. And 343 GS could have sought shelter from the shock wave in one of the facilities because most of them are in the side of mountains or hills or they are underground.

Cov, if you killed him, you would kill half the game's plot. And since Bungie has told us time after time after time that you must have a good storie before anything else, that would be a BAD thing if you blew him up. And in Halo:The flodd It says something about his energy sheild is powered by Halo itself, so it would be like having infinite sheild.

Or since his shield was powered by halo, and halo was destroyed wouldnt he be right along with it?

his sheild powers down from the halo carnage, and then gets destroyed by the explosion...

er no, wait...the explosion comes first so...
he his sheilds take the brunt of the EMP, then he gets out of Halo's atmosphere and lives...

He flew away from the PoA before it blew, if you watch after the end credits you see him float away. and he says in a cutscene he is self-repairing, so id imagine he can repair himself, thats how he survived 100,000 years.

The Reason 343 lives is because at the End of Halo2 John and Linda use 343 as a volleyball!

thats imanginative thinking on my part.
