I'm stuck between MIA and dead. I think he'll become a forerunner and live forever, watching over the human race.
I think killing him would be too cliche frankly, I'd prefer going MIA or something and becoming essentially the same sort of legend as King Arthur, you know returning only when need is greatest or something like that, or a promise of eventual return or something. Though ascension or something similar to that would be cool as well.I'm with the whole idea of him staying with the Forerunner, his destiny to remain at X location, and watch over Y. I think they could go about in which the player, along with his allies, don't actually know of his fate. Them come the time, he performs some heroic act that frees his comrades and allows them to escape, but remains behind. Cue the bewilderment, and upset, of the characters (it'd be quite moving to see Cortana, assuming she lives to the end, calling out to John), and player, as John is lost to them forever without any warning. Maybe some brief flashback can reveal the moment he's told what he has to do. Or his destiny, along with a tribute to all that he's done, can be narrated post credits as he stands firmly in an unknown location.
I'd like something like that.
