Carter was already dead by the time of that cutscene. Read Ghosts of Onyx; the Spartan IIIs have an augmentation that the Spartan IIs don't, which (bear with me here, I don't remember the exact science behind it) basically awakens some sort of animalistic instinct when critically wounded. It has to do with their brains, I remember, but it allows them to continue operations when injured in ways that would completely incapacitate a normal human or even a Spartan II. Carter was running on his last reserves. Had he not gone boom ("when in doubt, Carter out"), he would've died soon after.
I remeber it being some kind of adrenaline type chemical.
Good observation.Only the Spartan IIIs of Gamma Company were given the "animal-like instincts drug," and Carter was from the Alpha Company. So he just endured the pain like a bad-ass
