Somebody familiar on the 'good side' had to die in order for Halo 3 to have any kind of emotional anchor, and of course it had to be the generic, cigar-smoking black sergeant who did little beyond provide comic relief. So yes, his death was necessary.

I realize this is super late but he thread got revived. Miranda Keyes died so there's that.
-
Yeah but who likes Miranda Keyes? I suspect there was a near-unanimous cheer of approval from gamers when they saw her reign of stupidity and shit dialogue come to an end. :P
-
Hehehe, He did a little more then be generic. :)
-
When? Outside of Contact Harvest, there was pretty much nothing to his character.
-
To you, maybe. But to many others (me included) he was very important. I don't need thousands of pages long biography to a character to like him.

I don't care how "important" he was to you, the [i]fact[/i] remains is that (as I said) there is nothing to his character outside of the novels he's in. In the games, he's merely a generic replica of Sergeant Apone... Sure, you can like him for his sassy lines (some of which being directly lifted out of Aliens) and no-nonsense badassery, but that doesn't mean that there's anything to his character. At all.
