Subject: Is Jun dead?

Ready are you? What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own council will I keep on who is to be trained. A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. This one a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph. Adventure. Heh. Excitement. Heh. A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless.” -Yoda

Subject says it all...

We should know better, because we are better.

As far as I know, we have not been told. One of the books mentioned something about Halsey's escort being killed but it never names who it was.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Yes, end of story.

There is a thin line between insanity and genius, i would put myself right in the middle and i enjoy every second of it.

It's pretty obvious he's dead, since he never made it to the autumn. and for those who say he did make it to the autumn, one of this weeks halo waypoint videos clearly states master cheif was the only spartan on the autumn upon halo 1.

Actually, SHE was named. Twas not Jun, though it is believed he died at the Highlands mountains training facility.

If anything, 343i is saving him for Halo 4/5/6, or some other game.

What I think would make for a very entertaining book is a novel focusing on Jun. Could be an interesting story about how, after the events on Reach, he was pretty devastated about losing his team so he does a lot of solo/lone wolf missions, taking out Innies and such.

Could be a cool story; purely for entertainment, not canon.

Hmm, I like the concept, not a fan of the "non-canon" part.

Considering that not very many people made it off of Reach, he is most likely decease. Though it is a possibility, very slim of course, that he made it off of Reach, since there were still people at CASTLE base when he and Halsey arrived, considering that Halsey stated in First Strike that she had volunteered to stay behind and make sure the Covenant couldn't get a hold of any of the data there. So Jun either died enroute to CASTLE Base, while he was at said base, died escorting the personnel leaving the base, or he made it out safely with them. But in any case the most likely scenario is that he died at some point after leaving Noble Team as Halsey's escort.

Okay, listen, we should get our stories straight, all right? If anyone asks, and no one's gonna ask, don't worry, but if anyone asks, tell them as far as you know, the last time you checked, everyone looked pretty much alive, all right? Not dead.

Eh, everyone got all up in a huff over Glasslands, and I feel that is mostly due to how much new information was put into it. Too much new stuff than could seamlessly be included, perhaps. A book that is more dedicated to being an entertaining Halo novel rather than something that drudges out new Haloverse canon might fit better with the community, and be met with better reviews, IMHO.

I think it's a very good concept. Perhaps starting with Jun on some reconnaissance mission, putting him in an atmosphere where he's alone with his thoughts. Reads like a stream of consciousness, blending what is happening in front of him and relating that to the past. Sets the stage for flashback chapters through the first quarter of the book covering all the information between Reach and whenever this book would be taking place.

It would then have to be seamlessly transitioned into fast paced action, maybe capture and escape, a slight twist... all that writing crap I never have to use in an engineering career.

Of course, just my take. Don't get me wrong, I love learning about new things in the Halo verse, but you can only do that so much without getting to the point where you are prostituting the Halo concept.

Edit: And by avoid canon, I don't mean ignore Halo canon set prior. Of course that would all be followed. I meant that the book should perhaps avoid trying to establish new canon and not try to uncover more secrets of the Forerunner or what have you, but instead operate solely in the universe that has already been established.

And when they are MIA they are claimed to be MIA.

No u

How could anyone in this thread say he's dead? There is no definitive proof.

^ This, just because something says a Spartan is MIA does not automatically mean they're dead. It means that he's either dead or is actually MIA.

The story itself never told if he died or not, I'm sure he survived. Maybe we'll get a answer when Halo 4 launches!

I hope Jun is dead... I liked Noble Team but none of them seemed quite likable and developed enough to bring back and use as a plot point in Halo 4.

Unless they just do a cute little easter egg allusion, but if Jun comes back to become a major character in Halo 4 it would be off putting.

If anything, 343i is saving him for Halo 4/5/6, or some other game.

What I think would make for a very entertaining book is a novel focusing on Jun.

A novel about the worst sniper in UNSC history... Where's the entertainment factor in that?

I mean, I know he's supposed to be amazing but he was absolutely dreadful on every occasion in Reach.

Read this, non-canon but fantastic art nonetheless.
