What if the events at the end of Halo Reach didn't happen? (Spoilers)

[Magallan]

In halo reach, Noble 6 (You) was to die as a last stand against seemingly never ending flocks of covenant. Even though this is most likely uncanonical, what if Noble 6 survived the energy knife stab, pretended to be dead, and then flocked to the nearest structural sound structure below ground before the glassing of the planet? In most cases, if it weren't for noble 6 defending the Pillar of Autumn before take-off and leaving himself on reach, Master Chief would probably wouldn't be alive as the carrier would've glassed the entire area. It would be cool for Noble 6 to make a little cameo appearance if he were to be found on another planet in a cave or somewhat? Escaping on a Pelican or even an unscathed Sabre class fighter jet? Respectively, noble 6 has balls of steel, so effective that he was classed a Hyper-Lethal, the only other person classed that being Master mother frickin' Chief himself. Surely someone like him would have the skills and knowledge of assets to survive a glassing, no?

This is somewhat of a theory and discussion area where people can share their ideas and opinions about one of the most important games in terms of story in the entire halo franchise.
The Master Chief Collection of halo will be put on the steam store soon, yay.
* Please take this with a grain to no salt*
*I am also not stating as a fact that Noble 6 is alive, this is a "what if" discussion*

Damn, it doesn't let me post since my account is limited
Most of my games are shared or on another platform
so I guess I have to keep my discussion here

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

I didn't even check your profile for that. My bad.

The death at the end was important. I didn't much care when the Modern Warfare series "shockingly" killed your player character, after the first time it happened, it always felt cheap, like they were trying to fall back on that initial shock and failing.

But Reach was a loss, and a goodbye.

Normally when events are taken out of the players hands, I don't like it. I didn't like it when you had to lose the first fight against Dasaan in Jedi Knight 2, I really hate when you get stripped of all the gear you've collected because the storyline demands it, and I don't like the "Heroic sacrifice" ending that is so popular.

But Reach was never going to end any other way.

Hurrah for massive spoilers for a game yet to be released.

Assuming that everyone played it on the 360. It's just about 10 years old.

[Pyrocitor]

this has been discussed ad-nauseam, to the point that the whole "what if noble 6, but in cave?" this became a meme to itself.

But yes, please do remember that there'll be a bunch of people playing these games for the first time, not everybody had a 360.

If he didn't die in the end of Halo Reach then he would still be alive

Considering the first three games label Master Chief as the “last Spartan”, it was guaranteed that it was gonna happen reguardless if you’ve played Reach before or not. The tagline for the game even says “From the beginning, you know the end.”

I don't recall the Chief ever being labeled as the last spartan. In fact, I know for sure there are other spartans alive during the original trilogy

Halo CE and 2 manual calls him that, and there’s literally a music track from Halo 2 called “The Last Spartan.” Before Blue Team appeared in Halo 5, the only way you would’ve known that Chief wasn’t actually the last Spartan was if you read the books. Otherwise, aside from the Spartan IVs, which were a generation created between 3 and 4, and Noble Team in Reach, which is where the Spartans were wiped out by the Covenant, Chief was considered, in the games at least, to be the last Spartan.

Oh, he's the last Spartan for sure. The others are just a bunch of would be UNSC cosplayers.

I’m just saying that the games, until Halo 5 anyway, portrayed him as the last of the Spartans. Unless you were a massive lore nerd and read all the books, if you only knew the lore from the games, you would already know, or at least assume, that MC is the last Spartan, so all of Noble team’s fate would’ve been sealed by the time the game started.
