We as true halo fans want the ending to be as epic as the story in its entirety has been so far.


Okay, your post is kinda hard, but I'll just go ahead and say, no to the line I quoted.

You do not get to decide what the mindset of a 'true halo fan' is. You can pick your mindset, but nobody else.

Saying that if you think Chief dying is cliche or just another overdone thing means you aren't a 'true halo fan' is just insulting and narrow-minded.

did u not read my entire thread? i clearly stated at the end that i agree on the fact that maybe he shouldnt go out the traditional 'hero dies, saves the day' kinda ''cliche'' thing... i mearly stated that it could be the most climatic ending as long as 343i pulls it off right. i never said that to be a true halo fan you have to agree with me and Master Chief has to die... i never said that. what i am saying is we want the most epic and emotional ending possible for such a great game and for us to lose something as important as Master Chief would be a huge impact on us. I also said Halo 3's ending was perfect... He didn't die that time did he? so no i am not being narrow minded, just open to the fact that, although the hero dying is cliche, the hero living is just as, if not moreso. yet the hero dying is almost always a better story. but whether John dies or not, I dont think its 'narrow minded' of me to say that we halo fans just want the ending to be something to remember.

Guys, ONI wouldnt even let him go.
I mean he is the best fighter in the whole UNSC, you'll let him go if it was up to you huh ?

Chief will die, the only question is how...
My opinoin is that he has to do die somewhat like kurt.
He should die like someone who sacraficed himself, bringing down the whole enemy with him.
Perhaps, a super nova explosion caused by some tech ? jking lol

He will probably die in some generic explosion.

In an act of sacrifice to save the world, of course.

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

I think it be nice and fitting if he just died randomly. Just collapsed on the battlefield or off-duty.

But the fan outrage would be insane. Yeah, I might stick with that one then.

Chief suffers a stroke while filming. The game gets cancelled because no one else is suitable to replace him.

Massive fan outrage.

He never said anything like that.

'We'? 'Us'? I hated John. Thel was a much better character. I hope John dies at the very start of Halo 4 and 'Vadam takes over.

I also said Halo 3's ending was perfect...

Agreed.

I dont think its 'narrow minded' of me to say that we halo fans just want the ending to be something to remember.

Again with the 'we'.

The Cheif and Cortana should fulfill the roles of the Librarian and the Didact when the Halos were originally fired.

Instead this time they use them to eliminate the ancient enemy.

Chief dies in the process, Cortana survives and evolves with Forerunner help.

CUT TO: Twelve months later, with the remaining Spartans paying tribute to John's sacrifice. Dr. Halsey arrives with a new recruit for the next Spartan program to be trained by the older Spartans and Cortana -- a six year old boy, and a living clone of a legend.

End

Ugh. More cliche, more stupid, and look, Chief is there to be the main character AGAIN, and thus everybody's statements of keeping him around to milk the series is true.

I've been saying what Downes is saying for ages. John, and by extention the Spartans themselves, has no place in the world he's fighting to protect. A quiet death of old age is not a satisfying fate for such a hero, his journey should end either with a heroic death or something symbolic like the end of Halo 3 where he goes into cryo.


When the Chief is about to die at the end of Halo 6, watch them use the Composer on him and turn him into an AI and then he can live happily ever after with Cortana if she doesn't go bat-blam!- crazy.

Then he will finally be able to insert his hard-drive into her usb port, just like they always wanted. Hopefully they use protection, wouldn't want to get a virus!


lol

If he doesn't die, I wouldn't know what would happen to Chief and any of the remaining Spartans. Even if they wanted to, ONI, the big -blam!-s that they are, probably wouldn't let them retire and try to fit in with society. They'd probably use them for their own agenda. But it would be nice to see Chief die peacefully, watching humanity rebuild and prosper because of him.

If the Chief isn't dead by the time Halo 6 finishes then I think the Chief will just disappear. Just vanish off the grid, never to be seen or heard of again.


Maybe after he blows something up, everyone thinks he's dead but he becomes a silent protector to humanity. Becoming a legend. Stories are made up like "Everyone thinks he's dead but I heard rumors that a group of marines were pinned by Innies, but out of nowhere a shadowy figure killed all of them. They thought it was the Chief." That'd be cool to end it like that.

Chief: I must get up and fight the aliens!

Cortana: No Chief, you are the alien.

*And then John was the Alien*


omg I literally laughed for 5 min.!!!!!

Lets Boogie

How is this, he survives the trilogy and becomes retired, but later dies of disease, or perhaps in some sort of accident. Heroes don't always die in some battle/blaze of glory.

Maybe John should die of old age.

The composer should give him and cortana a choice, return home and and live out your live's (knowing cortana hasn't long left) or be put back in cryo, but more of a matrix cryo. where are they both live, happy together with out time affecting cortana,

The deal is if he was needed he could be awoken to fight again.

As cortana said human nature is to go to war, chief's mind creates a war in this matrix style world. in which chief dies a death worthy of him.


Camera pulls out to show the live sign's of chief alive and well. Choice then become's your alive or dead.

I'm pretty sure that the Composer is nothing more than a specific machine >_> I don't think it's an actual being or AI...

No worries though the idea of leaving it up to you to decide if chief is dead or not is more the point I'm getting at to be honest :)

Mhm, that's what I've been saying, if they're going to put a permanent end to Chief's role in the whole Halo story, then they need to do something like in that one story about Cole, or the end of Halo 3, only no Legendary Ending this time...make some scenario where he could just as easily be alive rather than doing something like outright killing him, 'cause honestly, I'm very tired of deaths in the Halo story, especially of the heroic sacrifice variety, they're all way too common and overdone in this series.
