Alright, I've figured out the ending, and here it is.
For all of you who think that Master Chief is going to die at the end, it wouldn't make sense, it wouldn't fit in the theme of the Halo games. Throughout the games there has been countless Religious symbolism and allusions, obvious ones are the Covenant, the Flood, and even the games title, Halo. So, with all that in mind, here's the ending.
Remember the Arbiter. Arbiter means judgement, or judge. At the beginning of Halo 2 we saw the Arbiter hung up in a cross like fashion, much like the crucifiction, making an allusion to Jesus. His name is the Arbiter, so, has anyone heard of Pantacrater Jesus?
Moving on, the only logical endind is to have the Arbiter become a Martyr and die for his people, making another allusion to Jesus and the Arbiter will make the ultimate Judgement of his people. Believe me, Bungie has planned this out from the beginning, there is no flying by the ear endings here, it's methodical.
I think, at the most, Master Chief will go MIA and the human race will never see him again, because he is no longer needed.
Any thoughts?
Almost everything you said here is correct, The Arbiter gives his life to safe the MC also. He fends of Gravemind from killing the MC by planting a plasma grenade deep inside of Gravemind. MC is hten picked up by Johnson and the last words stated in the game are by Johnson and MC
The complete ending is this::
MASTER CHIEF
Cortana was on the ring. But there
was something else, something wrong
about her.
JOHNSON
I’m sure they can replicate her,
Chief.
MASTER CHIEF
You’re wrong about what you said.
JOHNSON
What’s that?
MASTER CHIEF
It’s not over.
EXT. BOTTOM OF THE INDIAN OCEAN
At the bottom of the Indian Ocean, the Arbiter has been fully
submerged atop a large section of coral. Although the depth
is great, his body has not surrendered to the pressure. The
debris and rubble from Installation 01 has come to rest
around the Arbiter. A blue light flickers near a console only
a few meters above him.
Suddenly, a bright blue mist leaks out from the console and
there is the eerie sound of a female voice, whispering and
chanting. The mist hovers across the expanse between the
console and the Arbiter and wraps around the Arbiter’s body.
CLOSE ON FACE: Without warning, his eyes open, shining an
intense blue light. With a gurgled scream, air escapes his
lungs.
CUT TO CREDITS:
The ending makes me believe that their will be some other game Related to Halo as that ending provided by a leaked script (trustworthy) doesn't not provide any closure.
