This would also be a fantastic moment to point out that "Johnson" isn't mentioned by name anywhere in the first Halo game. In game canon, he didn't become a named character until Halo 2. That black sarge who appeared all over the place, died all over the place, and just generally confused the heck out of people for "johnson dying several times wtf" reasons? Yeah, he's being used as any other stock character here. Just like all the other marines. Because he's not a specific character. Which is also why in some places either he OR the white marine stock character (who is always called "Stacker" these days for the same reason, even though he wasn't a named character either) can spawn interchangeably.
Basically: many of "Johnson's" appearances in the first game, as with "Stacker's", have absolutely nothing to do with canon, and are not intended to show a specific character doing something.
Which means that when you see him blowing up at the end, it's not officially Johnson blowing up. It's just some random dude who has been established as being awesome every time he spawns.
Wait, this might be my memory but didn't he help you suit up at the begining? Or am I thinking of Halo 2... Yeah I am definitely thinking of H2.
