If the last game is anything to go by this one will probably have the most *irritating* finale in gaming history! It'll probably be something along the lines of we never know whether the chief dies or not, because a simple yes/no answer is just too pathetic an ending!
Scenario 1: He Survives- then what? "here chief have a medal and a cup of tea and then go farm sheep in new new new zealand (or whatever it's called in the future)?" Not bloody likely!
Scenario 2: He dies- sure it would be an epic, matyr-ish ending, but its been done so many times in film and games (Matrix 3 anyone?) that it no longer holds much of an impact (don't get me wrong, I'd be horrified if the chief died, but its not entirely unexpected)
Personally I think its going to be something so completely out of the blue that no one will be able to predict it, otherwise what's the point in doing it? Anyone who's read the last installment of Stephen King's Dark Tower series will know *exactly* what I mean.
Or I guess he could wake up in the shower and find it's all been a dream...oh...wait, that's been done too. ;-)
