The Death of Master Chief *UPDATE!*
So I was reading several articles on the internet that said Steve Downes, the legendary voice behind the Chief, would like to see Chief die at the end of Halo 6. He wanted "a hero's death." So just out of pure fun, how do you, the wonderful Bungie community, think the Master Chief should die? Any idea, badass or funny, would be accepted. Thank you!
And I would like to place my opinion. After reading several of the posts, I've come to a conclusion.
Chief is with himself. The rest of his allies and Cortana are watching from orbit in a ship. Cortana stays behind because she is too unstable and could hinder Chief. So Chief goes and destroys the threat, blowing up the place as he does it. The people inside the ship believes he's dead. Humanity builds a monument to Chief. At the end of the game Cortana narrates how most people believe he's dead, but there has been rumors that marines have spotted a shadowy, armored figure lurking around and how entire Innie groups have disappeared w/o record of any UNSC intervention.
Then there's a scene where Chief is in a small stealth ship along with a few other surviving Spartans. One Spartan tells him that he/she has intercepted a distress call coming from some planet and Chief says "Alright. Punch it." And they go into slipspace.
This would be a satisfying ending to me, knowing that Chief is a living legend, but is silently watching over humanity.

Personally, I think the Master Chief should have a not so heroic death, his mind has got to be totally -blam!- after all of the terrible things he's done and seen. Gravemind has picked at his mind, he has seen so many people he cares about die, he has experienced the flood, etc. I know Spartans are supposed to be mentally superior as well, but not being affected by all of the things that he has seen is just unimaginable. He sees hallucinations in Halo 3, so who's to say that he isn't still having hallucinations, and that they haven't gotten worse? I think that, in the last installment, that we should witness the Chiefs mental breakdown. We should see (through cut-scenes and in-game Occurrences) his mental state steadily going down hill (hallucinations, nightmares, things of that nature). In the very last mission there should be an event that finally triggers his breakdown. The very last scene of the game should show the Master Chief removing his helmet, thus finally seeing his face (which should have a look of finality upon it). There should be lots of radio traffic heard in the background trying the reach him. Finally the player sees him putting a magnum to his head, the screen fades to black and a shot is heard. Cue credits. TL;DR Chief goes crazy and commits suicide. [EDIT]: I just remembered Kurt adding his name to the MIA list shortly before his death, so I think that Chief should also do that before he removes his helmet. [Edited on 10.26.2012 9:17 PM PDT]
