Man...if 343 killed off Master Chief, OFF-SCREEN, without the players even getting to say goobye to the character...Halo would actually be dead. The franchise would literally never recover the fan trust. It would be over. |
Who said they have to kill him off screen. It could be the opening of the game where you try to prevent the Halo from blowing up. Or you can just put the game 100 years from Masterchief and there is a nice memorial. The thing is, if you are going to go all new, you kill the old and start fresh. You take the core mechanics that made the game a success but flip everything else. Hell, I would be good with a Masterchief AI, which would be fine for the People that need something of the MC in the game.
