SPOILERS so why did Noble 6 choose to stay behind?
If I remember correctly, at the end of the campaign, Keyes offers to let Noble 6 on the Pelican, but 6 refused, and stayed back, only to get himself killed. Why did he do that again?
EDIT: I remember now. I forgot that he had to man the mac gun to keep the pillar of Autum (bad spelling) from getting destroyed

[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nxv2Uo1Y3U#t=1m54s]his pelican wasn't in the poa yet[/url], it's easily safe to assume it wasn't too far from the onager. And leaving behind a spartan when there was no wrong doing it doesn't exactly make sense, but I do understand that bungie did that to not break canon even more than they already did.

It's been a while since I've seen that cutscene, but I'm also pretty sure the PoA was already leaving by the time the Pelican got to the hangar.

Noble 6 stayed behind because there were still some covenant alive down there, and he could'nt have that.

he needed to operatore the Mass driver cannon (the one emile was shooting) - if he didn't the CCS-Battlecruiser would have assaulted the autumn

I think the real question is... Since the Pillar of Autumn didn't launch until [i]after[/i] Six nuked the Cruiser, why in the world didn't he just hop on board after the fact? Why did the Autumn leave without him?

Training for a spartan is brutal. When you finally become one there is no turning back. Your devoted to war. You live to fight, and will die fighting. And especially they couldn't of escaped with the MAC gun un armed.

Why did he do that again? [/quote]He did it so that the Pillar of Autumn could escape the carrier that would have destroyed it. He also probably did it so that the package the would stay intact.
