Yeah, it's possible. Maybe it would be far more subtle but equally powerful to have Cortana be the main character who dies. After all she's always been there with us, warning us about dangers ahead, giving us intel on whats going on, helping to keep us safe. Her death could be equally shattering as the death of any of the others, as we lose the one thing that remained constant throught Halo 1 + 2. From what I can remember, she was not there when I would have wanted her most. Remember The Library? Guilty Spark? Yeah, she was so busy helping us that she forgot she was supposed to be with us.
This is probably due to some clever story writing. We have Cortana looking out for us all the up to AotCR. Then Cortana mentions an enemy the Covenant are afraid of, and she tells us to go there. So, we end up in a swamp. Alone. In the mists. Fight our way to a structure. We go down into it. See mangled bodies and blood. We're alone. We enter the room and watch the video. We're now alone left to fight new enemy that appears to be zombie like. Its the ultimate way to try and make it scarier by removing the constant companion you've had everywhere so far and leaving you on you're own just as really weird stuff starts happening.I know, I was just bustin' yo baullz'. You are all seemingly intelligent people to discuss things with; I feel spoiled that rare people like you guys are on these forums.
Indeed... Intelligent people are a rare find here.. And I would've liked to have Cortana with me on the Library.. *shivers*
