I'd say he had to give Six enough time to not get caught in the slipspace rupture. Why it was Six and not Jorge (aside from we can't kill off the player character yet) isn't explicitly stated.
Six should've done it. Spartan II's are expensive and there are only a few of 'em. Almost every Spartan III survived the augmentations and they are more expendable.
I think it's because Six kills the -blam!- out of everything (rated hyper-lethal, remember?) and therefore would have been more beneficial to humanity than Jorge. Seeing the way Jorge fights, I would have to agree.
Kind of hard to tell if Jorge was any better, since they had him rigged up to that turret all the time. That being said, he's AI-controlled.
By base values, Jorge was more expensive to produce than Six; but since Six has the new MJOLNIR with shielding, he's pretty expensive too. And besides, they're human soldiers; chances are, they're going to die, Spartan or not. Like Jorge said, "We all make it sooner or later."
In some ways, I find it a bit odd that at the end of the mission, it's Jorge and Six, no troopers. Be easier if they could just have a slightly more expendable soldier do it. That being said, there was that group of Elites that came out from that one door behind the Pelican... so it's reasonable to conclude that the troopers all died.
Sorry to be blunt, but you could have completed the run without Tyrant's guide; you can save & quit and still get the challenge.
Didn't you notice that it didn't say "challenge failed" every time you died?
Had I not read the guide, I probably wouldn't have made any progress on SLASO, let alone get the weekly. I couldn't reconcile my standard approach to campaign with Mythic, since don't usually pass up encounters. Regardless, since I've completed a "run" of SLASO, I'll try an actual Mythic run of Winter Contingency at some point in the future.
