I recently finished Mass Effect 3 (I know I'm a little late) but in the end Sheperd dies after 3 games and in the end Halo Reach everybody dies too. So I was just thinking how would the flood feel if after 6 games Master Chief dies in the end? What do you think?

"Hello. My name is Stephen Hawking. Physicist, cosmologist, and something of a dreamer. Although I cannot move, and I have to speak through a computer, in my mind, I am free. Free to explore the universe, and ask the big questions."

I would be okay with it, so long as it was done for a narrative purpose and not simply to arbitrarily kill off a character.

Ad Infinitum

I'd be fine with him dying. Slowly sinking into an eternal rest.

This. In fact, I'd go as far as saying that Master Chief should die by the end of the series.

I was thinking the same thing I mean if he is still alive by the end of the series it would be odd to end it that way.

Butt ugly ape” remarked Sergeant Johnson always making fun out of the situation even though he had been hit by a spiker round in the arm. He mustered up the strength to continue and the team moved on. The Arbiter informed him that the next room held The Prophet of Truth and this was the final room before extraction. Jun proposed that he takes a shot from a distance the prophet and they all head back to the ship bay for extraction. The team agreed on this and breached the last door…

Spartans never die. They're just Missing in Action.

dont like my driving? stay off the sidewalk

eh, hes an aging spartan. who knows what kind of health problems could arise in his old age after he cant serve anymore because of all that stuff that was done to him. if he has to die, i wanna see the chief go out in a furious blaze of glory rather then just get old and senile.

I make a living of selling my body, and I don't mean sex.

I'd rather keep his death unknown and actually M.I.A.

Having him die by the last game seems pretty... I don't know, lame? Him dying in Halo 5 would be a shock though.

signatures are for fa- wait

Shep doesn't die in High EMS Destroy btw

I don't think he'd die considering Microsoft bought the domains for Halo 789.

I've only seen three of the endings so I don't really know how they all end.

I had a very similar thing, only I threw a 14 story building out of a pool and hit a kid on a paper aeroplane.


The Flood is just this awesome :D

It would be good if they didn't just kill off the main character just to get an emotional response out of the viewer.

Also OP, I have to ask, did you download the free extended cut ending? The original one was abysmal, but EC turns it into an OK/good ending. By the way, no one actually died at the end of ME3 besides that guy (trying to not spoil it) before you meet star kid. EC clears up what happens after the ending besides "big space explosion, crew stranded on jungle planet."

Yes I have the extended cut like I said I have only seen three of the endings, the original the synthesized and the one where you shoot the AI.

He [me] is a tall, Nordic looking guy. He could pass as a Die Hard villain.

He was dead to me the day 343 took over the franchise.
