If Master Chief dies in Halo3

He will be immortalized in gaming history. It reminds me of when superman died in comic not real life.

Its kinda sadto hear he may die , would make for a good story.Yet Iknow hes not real still ...Im not even a big halo fan ive only played with pals from time to time. Still:cry:

And he was brought back. Much like there'll likely be several Halo spin-offs eventually. MC/John or no, they won't simply pull the plug on such a successful franchise.

I dont cry IRL dont be ashamed of emotion anyway it whats makes you human.

This is my opinion...so please dont flame. When or if MC dies in Halo3 he will not get immortalized. Why you ask? because we dont know MC. Superman was immortalized because we knew him. We knew what he stood for, where he came from, what he wanted to do. We knew the man behind the cape. As for MC we dont know anything about him. He doesnt even half a glimmer of persona in his character. So when he dies, he will not be remembered, but Halo will be remembered. The game has far more personality than its protagonist. Now, when David (Solid Snake) dies in MGS4 guns of the patriots...that will place him in legendary status. He was a human being with emotions. Always pondering the value of warm the value of his life, and the decisions he makes. He is a damaged hero, which is sumthing alot of people can relate to. When he finally dies in the epic finally, people will remember the man (character?) over the game.Viviath

Wow... you should really read the Halo-books :|

And those how have read the books have followed John since he was 6 years old. That will be legendary.

True but mgs story lines are notoriously hard to follow. So the masses know just as much about solid as they do master chief . They both are Icons . Legendary characters dont need personal story. Look at Mario.

This "read the Halo books" junk needs to stop. I bought Halo for Xbox (360) ok! The game alone should tell the full story, or atleast a coherent story instead of half assing it and then telling the reader "hey, our story isnt crappy, you just gotta buy our books to understand it!" I can say with almost absolute certainty that the majority of people who play Halo have not read the books. Hence alot of people dont get the full story. This "read the book" junk is just an excuse for sloppy story telling.

And people crying over books/movies or whatever is acceptable? Feelings of sympathy/empathy are intangible, they don't discriminate for media formats, they do for stories.

People who like to look down on others for showing emotion towards an instance seems pretty shallow to me. But hey, I'm not normal, so I could be looking at this in a completely wrong light. *shrug*

MC is cool but does anyone actually CARE about him on a deep personal level?

Not me. I mean...I have no idea who he is, where he comes from, or how I can relate to him in any way.

Not like a character like kratos which is developed really well so you can sympathize with him in some form or another.

I understand the story may seem overly contrived and may take several sun throughs of the game to understand, but thats irrelavent. Even if you understand absolutely nothing about what going on in the MGS story, you still know master chief. With Master chief its the present that is important. All of his major accomplishments have been achieved in-game allowing the ser to play them out. And even if you dont understand why he is killing his brother in MGS, you get a sense of the jaded relationship between the 2. And you also get a glimpse of his softer side as he communicates with the other characters. It doesnt matter what the story is, the interactions of the characters is what brings about Snake's persona.

Man that's the most pathetic thing I've read today. You can add to the Halo-story by reading the books - if you want to. So you can understand the whole story - if you want to. Apparently, you don't want to, so stop complaining about it when you're to lazy to care.

Well some can see someone die and care simply on the level that they dont like watching a fellow die no matter if you know his story.

No matter how ingenious and deep your story and characters are, if you cant express them clearly through your chosen medium, it is a waste. So while im sure the Halo books clear alot of things up, they should have taken care of that in the game. I mean how the hell can u leave out character development of your main character from your game!? that is just disgusting. You can argue about the story, but lack of character development for master chief ingame is the most abysmal thing i have ever witnessed when it comes to story telling.

It could have been done intentionaly though so fans would watch the movie when it comes out and be excited to see if they reveal more about him.

You can only blame yourself for not caring about him, because some do care about him. In their eyes, he'll be a legend when he dies, who are you to say that's wrong when you don't know what they do know?

The "read the books" comment is valid but unfortunately it can come off as a cop-out for the games inability to tell its story properly. For die hards reading the book is a no brainer but for someone like me who just played the games how come after2 games I still know so little about MC?

MGS told you so much about snake in just the first game. Heck MGS3 goes as far as to give you the origin of big boss and have you sympathize with him as well. You can a sense of lineage with the snake clones and when you see snake put a gun to his mouth in the MGS4 trailer...well you understand why he might want to end it all.

The final shot in the Halo 3 trailer with MC looking down for a moment and the music gets lighter. Its like..wait...is this a glimpse of emotion? Cause...with that helmet on..who the heck knows. It was a real failure at copying the gears of war trailer.

MC is so damn shallow, I seriously can't imagine how his death could have any impact. Unless he became really interesting in the third game (doubt it).Chaos_Daro

He might not be and interesting Character to people who have only played the games but after reading the books. You see him turn rom a 6 year old who needs to win to an unstoppable (almost) killing machine. You see his relationship with cortana turn from an annoyance to a great freindship.

Those are the people who are going to care if he dies. People who don't care will enjoy playing the game sure. But the story will still not be as good unless you do. They are not essential but the sure to help.

I hope the convenant castrate him for being suck-box's face character. He deserves it for helping to sell such a faulty product.ISA_Scum
