i would think, maybe hes a spartan turning into part flood, who knows, but the way how he was practically beat up to the core just by looking at his armor, i would say he is near death, u can definalltly tell he is extremly tired.


just because hes tired doesnt mean hes close to death..member in halo 1 MC didnt sleep for over a week..also u do have to remember that he is about 40 years old

I think it would be cool if the chief lived but all of humanity was scattered about the galaxy and such and yea...that's all I can think of right now.

I don't think the Chief is the kind of character that dies in the last installment of the trilogy, but maybe he will, I dunno.

what if the game ended as master cheif almost succeeding... but then someone like cortana betrays him.. he faills, and everyone dies and the world really does end... that would be so freakin emotional that it would be funny... but i definately wouldn't want it to end that way

I have a great idea to prevent a cliche ending. The master chief is standing in front of the ark's reactor. In order to destroy it, he would have to jump into it. But, instead of jumping into it, he pushes the arbiter, who is standing right next to him, in. Sucker.

all i know is i wish i could fall asleep right now and wake up with halo 3 in my hand =D


I know! I pre-ordered my copy yesterday! ...

but can you guys believe it. They will do something HUGE at the end, I just have a feeling... think about it THIS GAME SERIES IS HUGE! THis is what we buy games for... this is the series that sold the Xbox... and many Xbox360's. It's like Star Wars... I wanted to see Ep. 3, but then again I didn't, because there would be no more Star Wars, no more thrills, no more sequels... only new movies, and I would have to find something else to watch!

I think that Bungie will make another killer Ap... I mean think about their rep... Marathon (several installments), HALO I, II, and III ! Surly... don't leave me hanging Bungie!

The life and world you see is just a cheery toped and sugar coated version. You know nothing of Hell. Unknown to you and everyone around you is that there is a war going on that you can't see. Now that you know, you are part of it. And if you are going to survive, your going to need to learn to pull the trigger.

i don't think he is beyond dieing for Earth. so its possible. but i don't know what is left saving on Earth

Yes, I feel that Master Chief will die for the greater cause. I assume there will be a situation at the end of the game where he will have to sacrifice himself, and he will give his last goodbyes to cortana (if she is not crazy). This goes all the way back to the book The Fall Of Reach, where his conversation with Chief Mendez talks about lives wasted and lives spent. I also feel that if the remaining Spartans are included in the game, they will be along side the Master Chief and will die together (quote from The Fall Of Reach:)- better to fight and die along side a friend than to leave him behind

Yes, this may be a little deep, but when the time comes I think this scenario will be very fitting, and it will make us all cry, rejoice, and remember all at the same time.


I tend to think it'll be the other way around. I think Cortana will be the one buying the farm at the end. Afterall you can't kill of the Chief and leave the Arbiter and Cortana. You kill the Chief you kill eveyrone.

On a side note. If the MC does die at the end of the game I will not only be pissed, but it'll ruin the game for me no matter how awesome it is. It'll be like "yeah greatest game ever" then in the final cutscene the MC dies, and it'll be like the biggest downer in gaming history. For that reason alone I don't think it'll happen. An ending where he dies even if in a heroic save eveyrone fashion will leave fans feeling down, and the last thing Bungie would want to do is end this chapter of the Halo series with big downer and have fans crying.

He would definitely go down in srtyle. He'd probobally die saving someone's life by jumping in front of them. Then he'd fall off a ledge into a covenant reactor and his suit would self destructt, and destroy a capital ship or sumtin.

But then he'll just respawn and STRIKE WITH GREAT VENGEANCE.

i think he'll die by gas chamber.

Think about it: Were he to be plagued by a streak of bad gas due to some bad chili he ate, he could become a ticking time bomb

i think he will

even if it is the last halo game as they say i think they should have a Halo 4: The Reunion and it will have all the maps of all 3 halo's with all the options and will be the best game ever but will only be multiplayer

seriuosly..........NO!!!! i don't think he will but if bungie is mean and demented they will kill him off. Actually it would be sweet to ahve alternate endings like if youdidn't do this thing fast enough cheif dies and the covenent win and the games ends like you beat it. but if you do beat the last thing fast enough you get a ending were chief wins, retires, and lives out the rest of his super soldiar life. now if bungie is mean to us and indeefinantly kill him off i will be forceed to make a touching and emotionly moving music vidoe of him own'n MC style to my heart will go on from titanic. lol.

It would be a cliche if he dies or if he doesnt happy endings are cliches and too dramatic endings are as well. One of the best endings was from KOTOR where he doesnt die but he leaves to battle a better stronger enemy. It has to be something we dont forsee but it needs a big bang and a nice cool off period like in halo 1 where the ring blows and then the last 2 min your in the ship resting for the next battle.

Halo is a story about hope and chance for the most part. I bet that in the end all hope has been lost and the MC has no options left but to sacrifice himself, but cortana who was his enemy until the end with the last bastion of power she has she instead stops the MC and sacrifices herself remembering the relationship between the two.

I just can't imagine MC living civilian life. Think about how bored he would be. He's been travelling the galaxy to ancient and exotic places... and annihilating all the inhabitants. He'd probably prefer dying, than getting old and retiring to Florida. I'm reminded of a line from a Metallica song, which I feel describes his situation perfectly:
"I was born for dying!"
In the event he does survive, though, Bungie could make another Halo game in the spirit of Rambo.The first one. Where he kills (at least in the book he does) hundreds of civilians, just because he can. Halo 3 is only the conclusion to this story arc after all. Gotta think ahead.

I hope MC stays alive. Maybe, like Marathon Infinity er somthing, MC and Cortanata will end up being sucked into some sort of space time continum plot device..

I think it would be kind of funny if Bungie had no idea how the story is gonna work out, and they are using the forum to find out what gamers want, then they will write their plot based on that. Just a thought.

isnt there something about how a slipspace is theoritically able to time-travel?

What if he destroys the halos and the covenant but the ship he is on accidentally travels back in time to an unknown time and no one ever sees him again?

ever read the Time Machine by that guy?

I doubt the world will actually end. With that, Microsoft and Bungie will definitely get alot of criticism and loss. But who cares? Anyways I really wouldn't expect the world to explode or obliterate. Just for the war to end and the Flood completely destroyed. I am beginning to believe the Forunners are Ancient Humans and that Earth is an actual Sanctuary from the Halo activations. My guess, the game ends with peace and triumph. Good luck Bungie.
