Heres something I don't get about the ending of halo 3, at the end the orbiter and the captain are talking and they say master chief didn't survive the crash, but what I don't get is why doesnt the orbiter know what happen to master cheif, after all they did get in the same ship, if somebody has the answer, please Tell me

No the arbiter the did not know what happened to him while he was talking with the admiral. They split apart there ship while they were going there the portal but collapsed right as they went threw and for all the arbiter knows he was dead on the other side of the ship.

ship got split in half, arbiter's half made it to earth, chief's half didn't, so they can only assume he died. But credits show he did survive.

Other two posters are correct but I'll make it a little more clear. The ship went through the portal leading from the Ark to Earth right as the portal collapsed, and when it collapsed the ship was only half way through. Arbiter was in the pilot area so he made it through, but Chief and Cortana were in the hangar in the back so they didn't make it through. In the back half of the ship (the part that didn't make it through the portal), Cortana drops a beacon, but since everyone thinks they are dead, no one will be searching for them, so it could be a long time before they are found. You can see something interesting happen (after the scene of Cortana putting out a beacon) if you play the last level on Legendary, I won't spoil it in case you haven't played it on Legendary yet.

the portal cut the ship in half. Arby's got to Earth, and chief is still roaming space.
