In Halo 5, surprisingly nobody was killed off. My guess is this will not be the case in Halo 6, as it’s probably the end of the Reclaimer Saga. There’s several characters, and a good chance of them dying. If I had to guess, the characters dying will be, Palmer, Thel, Cortana, and John. This is just my guess, but who do you think will die in Halo 6?
I don’t think main characters will dies like john, cortana or thel, But if i had to bet, I think Dr Halsey will die, it’s just my opinion

i think Cortana will die, she’s the villain. Even if John redeems her, there’s no way the galaxy is just gonna be like “ohhhhh, it’s okay Cortana. Let’s have a party.” She’s dead either way IMO.

But at the end of Reach Halsey talked about Noble 6 and that was in 2589 i think… http://www.halopedia.org/Lone_Wolf see references.

That could’ve been given at any time, we were merely seeing Reach coming to life again in 2589. I’m still under the belief that the Created will have a part to play in helping Reach start to reform in Halo 6.
I think they’ll have Cortana--Yoink!- actually be a rampant core that was split off during her descent into the Domain so I fully expect her to be killed off only to be “resurrected” in a post-credits scene or maybe Halo 7. Palmer needs to make a valiant sacrifice as does Halsey, so that’s what I’m expecting. Aside from that, I don’t 343I being able to kill off any other characters carried over from the Bungie continuity without fundamentally breaking Halo as we know and love it.
Halo’s numbered games are always John + Cortana against the universe. That formula cannot be easily changed while preserving the essence of what is Halo.
Its certainly interesting to think about really. I can see a few characters dying like Halsey and Cortana but anything can happen. I just hope they don’t kill Locke as I want to see more of him.
As I mentioned the other day in another thread, I’m in agreement with the theory (not my own) of not being the slightest bit surprised if Halsey is the one that ends up paying for Cortana’s crimes, guilty by association. I could easily see them having Halsey sacrifice herself somehow to stop Cortana, as her redemption arc to finally cleanse her conscience of the SII program.
I almost see Halsey as a given, though I really like her character…
John most likely not for marketing reasons, there has yet to be another character the majority could identify with.
Cortana is a possibility, but killing her of right after making her the villain wouldn’t be the best storytelling but considering the end of Jul and the didact this might be irrelevant.
Palmer: I hope so, as I can’t stand her character, but considering Bonny Ross (I think it was her) talked about the absolute need of strong female characters in Halo I have the bad feeling she’s about to stick around for quit some time (I don’t dislike her because of some dumb comments, it’s more like a natural antisympathy I first saw her and disliked her from then on)
Lasky: I hope he stays alive even though his character hasn’t that much depth.
Blue Team: Seriously if they kill off one of these I will be really upset as they belong to my all time favorites (especially fred), but considering 343’s trend of getting rid of Bungie’s Spartan II I could see at least one of them dying 
Osiris: I don’t expect anyone of them dying but I would be fine with Tanaka and vale getting killed, Locke is okay but not really a favorite of mine, Buck as a fan favorite? Nah I don’t see him dying.
Red Team: If they’re still around after HW2 I could see them dying (same reason as for blue team)
I want Cortana to die, yes I love her, but halo 5’s story would have been awesome if they kept her dead.
Palmer should die because she holds up fire team Osiris’s morale. It would be cool to see how they adapt to the tragedy.
If chief dies my comitment to halo, chief is my role model, he is everything it means to be a hero, what he has sacrificed to the human race is unspeakable. He is everything it means to be…“Human”

For her to cleanse her conscience would be to imply that she regrets making the S-IIs. She may have lost her motivation with the “greater good” justification that guided her, but I don’t think she regrets making the S-IIs given what they represent for humanities future.
Also, if Halsey dies, I doubt it will be given any real point and be for shock given the current batch of writers.
I’d personally think for a good story it would be Lock. Not because he isn’t really liked. But because of what he experienced in Halo: Nightfall. I can see him reflecting on that event and giving his life for Master Cheif, blue team and his own team.
I feel like the UNSC Infinity will be the next to die, and have the general “the captain goes down with it’s ship” rule taking down Lasky too. He’s a great character and had a very important role in Halo 4, but with them barely having Alaska involved in Halo 5 it almost feels like they’re preparing us for his inevitable death
Well my theory for Halo 6 is that the game will begin with Fireteam Osiris being sent to some human planet where there’s been a terrorist attack. Then, out of nowhere, from a single burst of a battle rifle, three members of Osiris (Locke, Tanaka, and Vale) fall to the ground, dead. Buck realizes he forgot to pack some ammo so he tosses his helmet into the shadows which kills Sarah Palmer, who is revealed to be the terrorist.
Meanwhile on the UNSC Infinity our homeboy MC performs a surprise lobotomy on Dr. Halsey while she’s asleep because he thinks he can use part of her brain to “cure” Cortana. Chief flies all the way to wherever Cortana is and somehow cures her with the cut out part of Halsey’s brain (don’t ask me how I’m not a neuroscientist).
On the way back to the Infinity Chief contemplates whether or not Palmer really was an enemy of the UNSC. She may have killed 3 fairly efficient soldiers but they were all poorly-written and universally disliked characters. She also lost her own life in the process as an added bonus.
Chief realizes that he can now have more of his own missions (since Locke is dead), but is quickly disappointed when he finds that he will still have 3 missions in Halo 6 and the other 12 missions will go to Spartan Roland, the human that donated his brain to Roland the AI.
Unfortunately, since he’s missing his brain, Spartan Roland isn’t very effective in battle and dies in his first operation before even entering combat. Due to a rare condition that one in 6000 AIs have, Roland the AI also dies.
In the legendary ending it is shown that Lord Hood was the Prophet of Mercy this whole time. As Mercy strokes his beard he looks over the hologram corpse of Spartan Roland and laughs. The End.
That is my theory. I hope it made sense.

Oh I don’t disagree at all that she does or should have any regret regarding SII; I’m simply assuming the 343 Halsey hate (that began with Karen Traviss) will eventually have to build up to finally nailing her to the wall sooner or later, and they’ll imprint that “regret” on her as their justification for doing so whether she ever previously showed any indication of it or not.
I think Halsey might be on the chopping block for a few reasons, but mostly because there are a lot of people who hate her, Cortana included. A side note on Cortana by the way: if she is removed from the domain or the domain is destroyed, do you think she will revert to her rampant state, stay immortal, or have her seven year life reset?

This is how I feel as well. As much as I hate to say it, I will be shocked of they don’t turn Halsey into the scapegoat for pretty much everyone else’s crimes - because she’s old, and therefore not attractive enough to warrant being allowed to do whatever she wants with no consequences.
The hypocrisy of 343i’s “story” here is just too real…

I hope this is a joke…
