So did he die?

My boyfriend tells me he died, but he doesnt remember the details.

Well, I'm pretty sure he's dead. From what I read, Master Chief won't be appearing in any of the upcoming Halo games.

Basically when they go through the portal to escape the exploding Halo, the section of the ship with Master Chief and Cortana is cut off. The ending shows a funeral for Master Chief on Earth and then cuts to the remaining half of the ship floating in space where Cortana talks about how it might be a while before they are found, so Master Chief goes into a cryo chamber.

The ending in Legendary Mode shows the section of the ship flying into a planet and lands in the water.

He is off floating in space somewhere with Cortana. Hopefully this will lead to a Halo 4 in the comming years. I know Bungie said no more but we can always hope. (And email and harass and what not.) Why stop making Halo games when they are so popuar?

As they said he is not died but he is floating in space and says wake me if you need me I beleive he will be in more games but they wont be called halo it will have a new name and also will not be directly related to earth which means new weapons!!!

he did not die. he is frozen in a pod and is awaiting rescue, a probable thing used for future sequels lol

if you finish the game on legendary and wait through the credits you'll see that he is not dead. the only halo related game comming out is "halo wars", google it for information.

ok well one thing i will say is that he didint die but you have to play it on legendary and get specile ending to know that

If you watch after the credits you see that after the cheif and cortana go through the portal to get away from the exploding halo the cheif goes in some freezing chamber to wait untill help arrives or something.

No. He didnt die.
If you watch after the credits at the very end of Halo 3 there is a film clip showing that the cheif and cortana are still alive.
