Halo Reach Leaked: This Is The Way The World Ends

[Amit]

I'd venture that was Dr. Halsey and not Cortana. By 2589 Cortana would be well into full rampancy which is when an AI goes completely insane/defective.

Johnson was 82 at the time of his death. However, because much of that time was spent in cryogenic suspension during Slipspace jumps, he was physically much younger. Its been stated before he was 82 at the time of his death, but due to the cryo and slip space was much younger physically. He was born in the 2400's, and died in 2552.

Also someone -can- speak out of inexperience. I said I might be wrong, if Noble Six is dead oh that's sad. If he's alive, then awesome. Its a theory I won't be proven wrong till I see the Legendary Ending, and if I am I'll gladly eat humble pie. All it is, is a theory. =\

I forgot about the cryo sleep thing. I think I read about that somewhere. You may, in fact, be correct about Johnson's age. Actually I now remember reading it at the Halo Wiki. There's no citation for it so I'll assume it is incorrect information for the time being. Captain Keyes must have been a lot older than he appeared in CE, if this is true...along with many other characters.

The legendary ending for any of the games had never actually held any significance, besides (fake) confirming Johnson's death in CE. The legendary ending for Reach probably doesn't reveal or answer anything. It'll probably raise more questions like Halo 3's legendary ending. Reach is the last Halo game to be made by Bungie. However, it matters not if Noble 6 is dead or not. We won't ever find out. We don't need to know either. It's fully implied.
