I dunno personaly i think he will die and it will be the best and last of the series, bungie should continue making games based on the halo universe though!

50/50 right now methinks. Fair point though. I think "Finish the Fight" sort of sends a few signals our way about what is going to happen. Good idea about the Halo Universe continuing; but would you really want to see a Universe without a Master Chief of sorts?

Me? No. The Master Chief should retire when he really is old, but how old can a Spartan live to? Presumably normal life-expectancy but with the augmentations would he be able to do what he does at 65? I wonder what the UNSC pension is like. Maybe that's what Halo 3 is about. The Covenant have wiped out the Earth forces and therefore (EDIT) the reality of a workable pension; the MC comes back from his holidays abroad (Halo & Halo 2) and just really wants to make them pay now that he knows he has to work to retirement age. EDIT - he probably had loads of ONI shares too...

A rampant speculation full of nonsense there. I need to get back to work. Tally ho!

If he doesn't die, the humans will ally with the covenant to stop the flood. I think that the prophet of truth will die in the end of this one.

Like I said many time already, what better way to end a hero’s story then the hero himself dieing in a big epic battle.

Well, bungie said that this game is the 'end of this story arc', so the chances Chief dying depend on whether or not Bungie want him to be included in other stories or not. I mean, do you really think the same number of people would buy a Halo game (FPS or otherwise) if it DIDN'T include MC? I think it's an interesting issue.

As for this story, I agree with one of the above posters - that Chief will live but Cortana will die. She's relevant enough to be an emotional loss, but not important enough to be saved for future series'.

But hey, we aint' gonna know til 07 anyway! :)

I think that he will die in a heroic ending, and what a great story that will make. I do think that MC is a JC figure (The savior of life). There are just to many biblical refrences in this story. I love the way Bungie did this, it is a very interesting. I hope they take it and run in Halo 3. I also think that the light coming out of the item in the trailor will activate the other Halo's and is not the ark. I think the Earth all together is the ark. As far as the MC's death, I think that Bungie could just start all over with a new Halo story, what would be wrong with that?
Later,
Brad

hmmmm...i think that it would be a really heroic ending for the chief to die, but would you really like the fact that the guy you have controlled for over 4 years has died? iumagine going back and playing Halo: Combat evolved, and realising that this guy dies.;( im not too sure...

I hope the Chief dies. Then we'll see if the 360/Microsoft can survive without it's beloved franchise character/game.

He probably won't die because he IS everything Xbox. The Chief sells games and consoles so the chances of him dying are slim to none. Me thinks Bungie/Microsoft will call upon the Chief again sometime in 2009 for an all new game without Halos or Covenants.

I bet Master Cheif pulls the old Messiah card and somehow stops the galaxies destruction be hurling himself into a reactor or something. That would be cool. I still want to see a Halo 4 though, kinda like a prequel going into the forerunners war with the flood and also the fall of reach. A persistent world like a MMO would be sick.

Master Chief should die, but not in some pansy way. In a really heroic way like killing thousands of flood and covenant and sentinals when you are using some bomb to blow up the Ark to stop it from activating the rings.

Master Chief's balls are too big for him to die. Maybe the arbitor will kill the prophet of truth, and in doing so, kill himself. Maybe Gravemind kills the arbitor for not killing the prophet of truth, maybe truth kills Cortana before MC gets there, and MC kills gravemind somehow...Don't really know, just have to wait and see how the plot will twist, because you know the plot's gonna twist.

~Allahu Akbar~

First off all this wont be the last game because bungie's big money maker is this game. Second Cortana cant die she is AI. And who cares we will find out when the game comes out the trailer wasnt even the story of the game it was just showing people what the graphics will look like.

I think a grunt should kill him then run away saying "demon slayer, you can suck my methane tank".

I dont think any one cares for my opinion but the chief is still alive from the 1st two games and he kill's like a million enemies what could possibly take him out in the 3rd that hasnt in halo 1 or 2. also he it would be cool if there was a halo 4
