Hello Everyone,
This is something I have been thinking about lately. Will Master Chief die in Halo Infinite? They say that this is going to be the only Halo game for the next 10 years and the name Infinite seems to suggest “the last Halo game for Infinity”. Of course it probably means “Infinite world” and this is probably just a speculation. They say that they are going to add DLC to the game to expand the Campaign so maybe he won’t die at release, but what about at the end of the 10 years. I don’t think Microsoft is going to just kill off their mascot so easily, but is it still a possibility?
The second question is, if this were to happen, how would the Halo community feel. I’m sure all of us would feel outrage, and we probably would give up on the series. This is all hypothetical, but we’ll have to see how 343 incorporates it if they do. If it is Escharum who kills Chief it would be cool if they added a revenge part of the story. May that be from the perspective of another character or an Easter egg earlier in the game. Tell me what you think.
I would much prefer if John lived and Master Chief died if that makes sense. I like the idea of him retiring and living off somewhere as opposed to him living his whole life as a weapon. I’d really like if he was to live in some form of peace and have a true rest but that’s just me.

Yeah, that would be great. I never thought about that. Would this mean he reveals his face? Would he have a family? Probably not since he was kidnapped when he was 8.
While it is entirely speculation I don’t believe so, with the negative reception around 5 not including Chief as much as fans would like I would suspect that 343 is doing their best to either keep him alive or find a satisfying way to conclude his story. Just speculation on my end tho.
To be honest, the Master Chief isn’t going to die in Halo Infinite or any of it’s DLC especially looking at how long Halo Infinite will last for because it is planned that Halo Infinite will last for 10 years and I do expect to see the Master Chief in the DLC campaigns.

I don’t think even if Chief did retire that family and peace and quiet would be for him. I think the military is his family so retirement to someone like a Spartan II would probably look more like becoming a drill instructor for the next wave of Spartans. So maybe not fighting on the front lines, but never fully out of the military.
I’d rather vote for him to die. After all he’s gone through, after losing every one he has cared about in his military career (I bet my life that blue team and Cortana are going to die) , After all this ,retiring and going back to train other spartans just doesn’t catch up with me. It won’t give him peace, if that makes any sense. Here’s a perfect setting; he lost his last member of blue team,his family to the enemy (flood or banished) . Chief has destroyed the flood , destroyed the banished but one final enemy remains. Cortana. (I am no good in story telling so I will just say it) . Chief is injured and tired and doesn’t want to fight Cortana but he has to save the galaxy. He takes the action against his will and kills cortana. Just before Cortana is about to die, she is cured. She is the same old Cortana now but it was too late and accepts her faith and speaks her final words to chief (“I love you” anyone). Now this is kinda cortan-rom route but I want it to be like this. Chief either dies right after that ,regretting his decision or goes to do some more operations after that. One of them is a sucide one. And he takes it and give his life while remembering everyone he loved and especially Cortana. Or here’s another one ,this one’s crazy a little bit.;
Halo ring get activated. Boom! Lol tell me what you guys think. I prefer his death to be at the hands of cortana

I don’t think I could quite agree, because if he were to just give up he’d probably feel like he let all of those who didn’t make it down. One thing Chief can not handle is failure, failure to complete the mission or even to secure the lives of innocent people. So even if he did lose everything, Blue and Red team, all of the other remaining 2’s, just dying wouldn’t suit him. He would consider himself a failure to everyone who put their faith in him.
Now obviously if he’s bested and is killed during a fight, that’s out of his hands, but he’d probably hate himself up until losing consciousness and finally passing.
In my opinion, at least knowing he’s there is good enough for me, even if it’s just interactions through cutscenes or talking to him for mission briefings. But killing off the mascot to the platform you provide said mascot to is probably not a smart move. Try as they may, I don’t think any other character can really top the Chief at this point since Chief was literally the start of Microsoft’s success in the console division (I’m refraining from calling it the ‘console wars’ because let’s face it, at the end of the day, we’re all gamers.). But killing him after all he’s accomplished just wouldn’t feel right, no matter how it’s done.

I think it’s very likely he’s dead by the end of Infinite’s run. Don’t be too shocked if he’s dead by 2031.

Chief shouldn’t die because of his failures. No ,that not what I meant. But how I want it is that he sacrifices himself, a sacrifice that no one could have made. The setting I spoke of doesn’t have to be same here but sacrifice might be the best option here. Try to relate Tony stark with chief here. Tony was afraid of dying. Because he didn’t wanted to leave his people behind. He wanted to be sure if he’s gone, at least they are safe. That might can be the case in the future as well for chief. He wants humanity to be safe and will do anything for it. Anything.
I wouldn’t feel outrage at the Chief dying at the end of Infinite’s campaign if it is done right. He’s been the front runner of the series for two decades, so his exit would need to be done right. But in truth, he’s one of the only remaining main characters from the original trilogy. Both Keyes’ are dead, Johnson is dead, Cortana is Skynet, and Halsey has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.
Halo would probably be better in the long run if it was able to successfully transfer to a new main protagonist that can revitalize the franchise. Chief’s story was pretty much wrapped up by the end of H3, and we’ve kept him going ever since.

I actually didn’t think about that, Halo Infinite will be finished by 2031. They can’t kill him at launch, but he probably will in the end. The always show him as a machine, but maybe they will show him more as a human like they did in Halo 4.
If you use an ounce of brainpower obviously no.

Chief’s whole thing is being a soldier having a honorable soldiers death is really the only possibility.
My expectations of Chief’s demise is similar to the likelihood of Nintendo killing off Mario.
Sincerely. I have no idea. But I still waiting to maybe see the end of the saga
When chief dies so does halo. I don’t mean to sound blunt but that’s just how I see it. When the chief is a staple to not only Xbox but first person shooters in general with the best fans in the world I’m sure we couldn’t bare to see chief die. I think they have plenty of story to tell. I don’t believe chief is someone they’d just boot out. This campaign will show us his battle not only against the banished but also against himself. Or so I hope. In halo 4 he was debating who was “the machine” him or Cortana. I think chief has been in his head ever since Cortana did the do and became this character he never thought of her to be. With all that said I think after infinite 343 should go above and beyond and make a halo game centered on a customizable Spartan (like reach) that played a huge role in the war leading up to current halo events.
They say Infinite is a new start,dead in new start?
I’m not looking for them to do that in infinite but possibly in a different Halo game years and years from now when 343 are done making Halo games I’m not looking forward to this I’ve been supporting chief since the beginning of Halo he’s my favorite character and it would feel unsatisfying if they killed him off now

I sort of expect him to be retired at the end of infinites cycle.
And I mean retired.
I expect he will be in cryo and heading to Bastion or Chakas will come back and bring him to bastion and he will get a forerunner combat skin, we won’t see his face, they will tease it and he will have a forerunner mark 6 helmet. Chakas will tell him it isn’t necessary and he will have some bad sass retort about how he won’t until he will.
That essentially tells the fans hey John is almost Infinitely far away,
he still exists and is essentially immortal but his role in our universe has ended, he finally gets to live in peace, free from the control of the librarian who has puppeted him through 2 lives.
Seeing as red team are only what 20? I’d see them being the next mascots for the franchise. To the uninitiated they are still Green halo man.
To the fans they are still spartan 2s.
The face of the franchise is ultimately the mjolnir not John.
But even in shadows of reach John is showing his age.
I also wouldn’t rule out John becoming a mentor to new heros in infinites run so he can pass the torch.
I don’t expect him to go to bastion to relax either.
I suspect an implied danger lurks beyond our none regions of space and Chakas wants him to help in the preparations for an oncoming threat thousands of years away.
They will always have the option of master chief but one man in a grounded and sequential narrative can’t keep single handedly defeating civilisations.
Unless they perfect cloning or he becomes composed.
