No, he should die. I've had enough of these "happy endings", they always end the same. John must die in order to prove Halo is truly different from everything else, the hero we've been with for so long must go out with a bang rather than settle down because that's not going to be possible for a Spartan to have a happily ever after. They are indoctrinated into warfare, they know nothing else. I do not want to see The Sims: Halo Edition popping up in 6 years time.
One there will be no such game as that. And two big deal maria was able to live a normal life.
you clearly don't watch tv, movies, or video games if you just said that.
We don't know WHY maria was retired, it could be an ONI experiment for all we know so don't use that as an example.
One why would 343 screw us and make something that retarded. I can gurantee that will never happen. And so what if maria retiring was just ONI. The point is she was able to do it. Able to get a job meet a man( although secks must have been painful) and become a loving mother.
John could do this too.
so chief "settling down" and having a wife,kids etc is more satisfying to you Than just being killed? you do understand that if he isn't killed HE WILL BE MILKED and you can't "guarantee" anything. you can't even spell the word,lol.
for the last time nothing was ever elaborated about her, when was it said she was a mom? i want a link
are you a child or an extremely emotional girl that is a hopeless romantic?[/
quote] No I'm not a child and I don't want to put romance in any halo title. and it said in the halo encyclopedia she was able to be a mother. And yes I would much rather prefer John retiring than the super predictable typical die a hero ending. And the guy who told me I should just give up this thread you can suck it. I can counter every post put here.
And I'm sure a good amount of halo fans will be okay with john retiring. Its no big deal unless there's some stupid book all about how he's living a normal life.
There is a difference between what you want and what would be proper for a character of his nature. As detailed above, he has no place in this universe other then what Medicant Bias needs him to do. No literary merits would be gleaned from havingthis happen
So instead of killing him, a lot of people here found a midway point: have him live on in the care of the Forerunners. His fate remains a mystery, but he has still moved on and is still alive.
Frankly, I don't understand why you don't get this. On a story level, Halo 6 will be critically panned if he survives as you detail it. All thematic and allegorical messages the Chief's character carries will be dropped if he simply retires to a normal life.
He needs to have a lasting legacy without him involved directly. "Spartans never die, they're just missing in action" is a metaphor for how the Spartans' legacy will far, FAR outlive their time in the mortal plane. Having the Chief live once more amongst humans forever will ruin that theme.
In turn, having him join the Forerunners on the Journey will symbolize humanity's inherited right to protect all life in the universe, that man has become something more then just man, and that the champions of humanity--the Spartans--have an eternal legacy that will live on long after they go.
