TxSperies: Master Cheif is not over come on!!!
we all know a good end to a hero is death. And he is not dead yet.
I think this spartan has one last battle and i think he meets some spartan friends on the way, felix theres jsut way too much unexplained about the story. I dont see how you could rule out a possibility of halo 4.
As for the prequel i dear id say its very possible, but i think that you would play unsc marines like in ODST coming soon. Seems like everyone is becoming a Cod lover.
but didn't you know? Spartans never die!
seriously, I don't think Bungie/Microsoft would ever actually kill off MC. Having him just drift off in space means he accomplished his mission, is still alive, and nicely gets him out of the way. Having him around the mysterious planet just keeps all of us poor souls devoted to him, jumping at every game or book they come out with. I like the idea about there being a prequel, but I'm not sure about the idea of H4. All the time since HCE, Bungie/Microsoft has referred to it as a "Trilogy" as in "The stunning conclusion to the epic trilogy!" etc. With so many other interesting characters and ideas out there to use, MC can use a bit of a rest.We'll definetly see more things like HW or ODST, but I think the only time MC will ever appear again is in books or a prequel.
unless, of course, Bungie/Microsoft take a leaf out of Douglas Adams' book...
and where did those different stages of rampancy come from? I've read/played every halo thing out there, and I don't remember that... Can you give me a definite source?
