Even though Carters death did seem strange I do think it is very fitting of a Spartan-III. I've thought about his choice to sacrifice himself and perhaps he simply decided that the trade-off, in light of his wounds (sigh) and the stakes, was worth it.
It's the most dramatic death in the game, beside Six, and I did feel a rush of emotion when he gave his last message and smashed the Scarab.While that one did feel the most epic death, that isn't exactly saying very much.
Further, I'd love to know exactly how the hell that Pelican was still airborne. In every single other instance in any game, a single banshee will take down any Pelican it sees. Bravo 22. Echo 419. Both Pelicans in Sierra 117. All by one banshee, the only exception being Miranda Keyes' invincible dropship, which she brought into the thick of combat unarmed and unguarded.
Yet now, Carter manages to get severely injured inside the Pelican's cockpit, which has suffered no physical damage aside from black smoke. And with the Pelican smoking, it continues to fly, while being continually shot at by banshees, for, what, 20 minutes? Yeah, fantastic.
Sorry about the off-topic, but this kind of thoughtlessness bothers me a lot.
Back on topic.
@ Caboose - I doubt you're getting through. While we cite events that are listed in the novels, the Bungie fanbois keep propping up speculation of what they think happened.
Might be best to create a timeline of both TFoR and the game, separately, then compare the two.
