I am unsure about Buck and Sgt Johnson. However, if you watch the final cut scene in Halo 1, after the credits their is a clip of 343 guilty spark flying through space.

Johnson doesn't survive in HCE. None of the humans do except for MC, and given the storytelling style, that makes a lot of sense; without everything being blasted and left behind, the game ceases to feel like a full and complete action.

It's one of Bungie's more lame retcons. On the plus side, Halo 2 lampshaded it ("sorry Gunns, it's classified") rather than pretending like nothing had been changed, which helps a lot.

Honestly, I think that the game should have more of a power to say what's canon and what's not. What happened was that they killed off Johnson, regretted it, and brought him back without trying to put both stories together. So, they just kinda said "Eh, forgot about the ending to Halo... Cortana doesn't know what she's talking about.... and the guy hugging the elite is Johnson's long-lost twin >.>"

The Past Is For Reference Not For Residents

Buck-Took a diferent ship out
Sgt-Escaped on a pelican
343-Just Flew Away

Buck wasn't on PoA, different ship.

343 GS survived Installation 04's destruction, and got picked up by the heretics in Halo 2.

Johnson escaped on a pelican with a few other survivors and met up with the Chief. The hug was just a joke.

There's no "Buck" in CE. Anything else is a scumbag lie.
