ThatTrueLegend Posted July 30, 2014 Pretty straight to the point, do you think Master Chief will die by the end of the Halo saga? Or do you think he'll live happily ever after? I personally do not want him to die, but I think he will. He's already been called an "aging spartan", but I think he'll die heroically if 343 does decide to kill him off. How do you think he'll die in the game if you believe he will be killed off? *Waits for somebody to say; Spartans never die, they're just missing in action.* 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
TriStateTryHard Posted July 30, 2014 Assuming Cortana is trapped inside some Forerunner computer system, Chief will probably be mortally wounded at the end of the saga and the Librarian will digitize him so he can spend eternity with Cortana, like his version of Heaven. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Calvarok Posted July 30, 2014 He'll die eventually, but not any time soon. Quote Share this post Link to post
Gold Posted July 30, 2014 Live happily ever after. I don't know why I found that funny but I did. I pictured him getting married too a princess and living in a castle. Quote Share this post Link to post
HiddenKoopa Posted July 30, 2014 I feel like they arent going to tell us. I can see him doing something to save cortana that is 50/50 for him living and then it just ends. Just a huge cliffhanger and then the next company starts making halo Quote Share this post Link to post
xSociety Posted July 30, 2014 No, he will go live in isolation and chop down trees with a energy sword for a living. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post

jeromesix Posted July 30, 2014 The ending of Halo 3 was the best way to deal with the Chief. "Wake me... when you need me." Problem is they woke him up for a stupid ass "adventure" that he ended up making worse. Remember Halo 4? He's the one that woke up the Didact. Yeah, accidentally - but still. What should have been done is a Halo 4 without the Chief - build up the threat, build up new characters and enemies. Then launch Halo 5 on the Xbone with the situation looking dire as shit. What happens then? Wake up the Chief, everyone goes horseshit. But as far as him dying? He should end up frozen, except they already did that. I don't see Chief living a normal life, or even wanting to do so. He's kind of "ruined" as a person and exists only as a tool. Kinda like Batman or Captain America. Chief isn't Superman - there's no first and last name that he's identified with his whole life, there's no aging parents and farmhouse that he can remember fondly. What he has become has replaced anything he was or could have been. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
EagleBurn Posted July 30, 2014 No way he won't die at the end. The real question is how long away is the ending. If this was Bungie making it, then yeah, Master Chief will live on forever, but I feel 343 wants to create their own character and will kill off Master Chief sooner than we think. Convincing MS will be the hardest barrier. Quote Share this post Link to post

elitenoob94 Posted July 31, 2014 He's eventually going to have to or hang up the suit. Even though Cryosleep halts his aging he's theoretically almost 50 or mid 50's, no matter how potent the drugs were a super soldier isn't going to be doing prime acrobatics when they hit 60.

Yeah but remember that in H4 the librarian accelerated his evolution process or whatever... for all we know his life expectancy has grown. Quote Share this post Link to post

Convincing MS will be the hardest barrier. Just because the Chief dies doesn't mean Halo has to. Halo has so much to offer even with Master Chief out of the picture Quote Share this post Link to post

Convincing MS will be the hardest barrier. Possible, but they know Master Chief is iconic for the franchise. People relate to him. It'd be extremely difficult to set up a new character that could fill MC's shoes. Doable but very risky. Quote Share this post Link to post

Frag The Flag Posted July 31, 2014 Master Chief to be killed off in Halo 5, Agent Locke to be the new central character for the franchise.Don't like the idea of him dying in Halo 5. Way to soon for that. We need to experience more of the Chief. Quote Share this post Link to post
Bloodshot1990 Posted July 31, 2014 Master Chief to be killed off in Halo 5, Agent Locke to be the new central character for the franchise. That's the vibe I'm getting. Quote Share this post Link to post
EagleBurn Posted July 31, 2014 Master Chief to be killed off in Halo 5, Agent Locke to be the new central character for the franchise. He will be killed off in Halo 6 if anything. Remember, they originally called it the Reclaimer trilogy. They're slowly introducing Locke to see how the fans react to a new main character. Quote Share this post Link to post
