First off he has no sex drive so the idea of him leaving with a woman is kind of silly, unless you count Cortana, but she'll be rampant soon enoough.
Secondly, storywise he wouldn't be allowed to ride off into the sunset, in the end he's a soldier who follows orders and there's no way the UNSC is going to let it's greatest soldier retire. Not unless he was severly injured, which would suck even more as an ending.
Let him die in a glorious final battle.
Ok, firstly, the Spartans are not necesarily without sex drives. The potential side-effect of one of the augmentations was a REDUCED sex drive, now that could mean that some might have lost it, but it's not definite. Hell some might not have even had that side-effect at all. It was not something that would definitely happen, just a highly likely possibility.
And second, how do you know Cortana is going to be rampant? If anything it seems far more likely to me that she would be in meta-stability rather than rampancy.
So, what? You think he's going to be fighting all the time even when there's nothing to fight? Really I don't particularly care what happens to Chief at the end of the Reclaimer Trilogy. Killing him would not be the right way to end it though, imo, killing off the main character happens all too frequently in stories, so I feel they should come up with something more unique to conclude the story.
My point was he is a warrior and deserves to die a warrior's death, not killed off by an STD he gets at old age from the woman you want to force on him ;)
What makes you think I'm trying to force a woman on him :P
Feh, I'd be very disappointed in 343i's story telling abilities if they just decided to kill Chief off, as I said, it's a rather overused ending for epic-scale, living legend heroes like Master Chief (especially in Halo itself :/ Almost to the point I feel where killing off characters has kind of lost meaning for me). I'm not saying he should necessarily retire at the end or anything, but I would like a more unique end to the Reclaimer Trilogy than having Chief die. My ideal ending would actually be somewhat similar to the way Halo 3 ended, Chief concluding the story with becoming the sleeping hero of legend much like King Arthur, essentially leaving the world to return one day when it most needs him.
