That is why I don't want 343 to reveal John's face, it will take away some of the aspect of his character. But somehow I feel they will listen to the community and reveal it.
They better not. I mean, by what the OP is saying, that is equivelent to death. Master Chief is basically a huge symbol for Faith, Hope, Bravery, Courage, ect, ect. If he dies, that would essentially be the UNSC losing all of those. He basically HAS to survive, the death of such an iconic character like Master Chief would be a bad move. The better thing would be letting him find actual peace while remianing alive. Or, you could reveal his face at the end of Halo 6 and have it symbolize death, but not the death of John, but the death of the constant conflict he has been in.
That would be stupid and anti-climatic. John needs to die by fighting his ultimate enemy, his greatest challenge. Eventually John is beaten, has the better part of him taken, and defeated. John removes his helmet and we see the reflection of his struggle in the visor, but his face is just out of view, or we can only see the back of his head, as the enemy infinitely his greater, overcomes and defeats him. The last scene is of John's lifeless body, seen in the reflection of the visor.
The camera pans out as the steady rise and fall motion of his chest slows, and eventually stops. By this time the camera has pulled all the way out so that the final scene is of the helmet that symbolized his immortality.
