What was your favorite death in Reach? Mine is torn between Jorge and Emile. I like how Jorge sacrificed himself and the fact that carter said "He died thinking he won the war. We all should be so lucky". And emile death was awesome because he went in a badassery way. "Who's Next!? Stab I'm ready! HOW ABOUT YOU?" And then he stabs the elite in the neck. But honestly, I think my number 1 fav was my own. That was very sad...

Noble Six was definately the only one that went out like a true badass.

Kat getting shot in the head from nowhere was very surprising. At least for me, that one was the most interesting because of the shock of it happening the way it did.
The other deaths were telegraphed a mile away so it didn't phase me when they happened.

" Noble Six was definately the only one that went out like a true badass. "

That part during the mission where you're flying the falcon around the city rooftops, and that covenent cruiser comes in and starts glassing the city. That made me jump because I didn't see it coming.

Aside from Kat (who's death was just shocking), I thought all of Noble Team's deaths were pretty badass. I guess I liked Carter's the most, because while Jorge's was great it was really easy to see coming, and Emile's was pretty awesome but crazy over-the-top. Carter's just made sense and I only figured out what he was going to do when he said "you'll need help".
 
Good stuff, all around.

Jorge's death was touchy stuff, he died thinking he saved the planet....poor sod!
Emile was well, over the top but I never liked him much.
Jun thankfully flew off in that pelican with Halsey so fuck him too.
Carter needs to learn to fly (and the UNSC needs to put shielding at the driverseat) and not go all suicide on Scarabs.
Kat....wait what? KAPOW and she's gone...
 
My Noble Six went out like a champ, but I still vote for Jorge I suppose, his death had the most weight.

" Kat getting shot in the head from nowhere was very surprising. At least for me, that one was the most interesting because of the shock of it happening the way it did. The other deaths were telegraphed a mile away so it didn't phase me when they happened. "

" Kat was the most impactful death, Jorge had an amazing death too.  So sad. "

Kat. Dude, that was done really well.

" Noble Six was definately the only one that went out like a true badass. "

Jorge, by far. Big man made sure his impact was felt.

Jorge and Kat were emotionally powerful for totally different reasons. Six's death was really bleak, but it was sort of countered by the fact that the mission had been a success.  
 
The deaths were handled really well in this game. Unlike Halo 3, I'd argue. 

Kat. That cutscene after that where they're holding her body and looking at the burning city was the most powerful part of the campaign. 

Kat and Six, for me, although I thought they were all really well handled. The only frustrating one for me was Carter's - it was great, but two Spartans (even S-IIIs) could totally take a Scarab by themselves, perhaps even commandeer it like Johnson in Halo 2. If they'd done that, the end of the game could have gone very differently. 

I thought Emile's death was pretty awesome, but was I the only one who only managed to kill one grunt before getting roflstomped by the elites on heroic difficulty? Honestly the scene came up, I shot a grunt and then got blown up by a plasma grenade. The whole sequence lasted about 4 seconds.

There wasn't anyone to do anything to me for any of the cutscenes...

Kat's was amazing, the cut-scenes after her death was so beautiful. Noble Team staring at a burning city with her in 6's arms. 
 
I didn't see Carter's coming i thought he would be the last to go seeing he is the leader, and the way he took out the Scarab was badass. 
Emille went out with like a champ, as well as Jorge, throwing you out of a spaceship. 6 well we all know how great that was, kinda sad we didn't get to see what happened to Jun.

Emile, he went out fighting

Kat, I hated her, so to see her get shot like that, I was very happy :D

I have to go with Kat. The fact it came mid-sentence too was just awesome.

Carter is my favorite Noble, so I liked that he sacrificed himself so you could complete the mission.  

I thought they were all powerful ends for the squad. Noble 6 gets my vote. Fighting until the end.

Jorge picking you up and sending you off touched me.
 
He is also my favorite Noble.
After that, it would be Noble Six, Carter, and then Emilie.
 
Kat's was just stupid.

Emile, he was a tough motherfucker. Joint runner-up goes to Six, the boss guy and jorge. Kat's death was stupid and easily forgetful. 
 
Also: Favourite*. 

I loved Carters death. "Carter out" 
 
Boom

Kat, Jorge's or Six's. All of them are awesome.

Question did Jun die? Because I dont remember seeing him die?

" @Hooded:   Yes. You can see Jun's body on the very last mission of the game where you have to fight as long as you can. He's laying there on the platform you start on (the one with the turret).

Are you sure its Jun, the halo wiki disagrees, according to them the Legendary commentary says that he is still alive, IDK you might be right.   Anyway my favourite death was definitely Noble 6 followed closely by Emile, kinda liked the guy, having him with me the entire last mission.  "

I don't think that was Jun. The spartan there had an EOD helmet, not the one Jun had. "

Emile isn't dead, he just made it appear as though he was dead so that the enemy would take him back to the Covenant base and attempt to reverse engineer his armor in an attempt to find a fatal flaw in the UNSC's technology.  
 
That is when he would strike.  
 
He awoke aboard what seemed to be the interior  of a Phantom, no doubt  leaving the ruined world of Reach. First he took out the two Elites in the lab he was being kept in. They weren't were researchers, so he took them out easily by tackling the first, breaking its spine, and then pulling the Plasma Pistol it had on it and delivering a charged shot directly to the second Elite's skull, burning through the thick bone and vaporizing the frontal lobes. From there he took a few seconds to gather supplies, a Magnum they had taken off his body and the Energy Sword he had been stabbed with previously. He then made his way through the first corridor leading out of the research wing. He encountered three Grunts and a Jackal. Four bullets, four kills. He quickly located the command deck and blasted his way through the mechanical doors using a Plasma Grenade he had picked off of the previously downed Grunts. He then tossed his remaining two grenades into the room itself, taking the large group of Elites manning the various consoles by surprise. The explosion took out three targets and severely damaged one of the flight control mechanisms. As the Phantom took a sudden dip in altitude, he took the chance to rush over to a Plasma Repeater that one of the Elites had dropped. Picking up, he made short work of five more Elites before he was knocked to the ground by the commander of the vessel. A Zealot. As he recovered from the brutal melee attack, Emile looked up to see the Zealot draw a weapon all too familiar to him. An Energy Sword. The Spartan quickly jumped to his feet and drew his own sword as the Zealot took a step back, shocked though a bit pleased by this new development. The two stared each other down for almost a minute as they sized their equal up. The Zealot was the first to strike. Lunging with his back legs, the Sangheili warrior took off with his blade pointed directly for the Spartan's midsection. Emile rolled to the side and delivered a blow of his own, a powerful kick straight to what he could only assume was the alien's rib cage. The Zealot flinched for but a mere millisecond, but it was enough for Emile to strike. He plunged the blade deeply into creature's back as it released a bloodcurdling scream. He quickly retracted as a bright flash of light indicated that the weapon had met its mark. He had fought these terrifying monsters before, and he knew that what would be a fatal blow for any human man was just a shot in the foot to this xeno-solider. The Zealot quickly got back on it's feet, and instantly it was back on the offense. He took another swing at Emile, but it would not make the same mistake again. As the nimble Spartan slipped pasted the initial assault, the Elite quickly spun around and struck horizontally at his enemy's neck. Emile swiftly used his own sword to block what would have been a fatal blow, locking blades with the Zealot. Once again the two stared each other down. As Emile looked into the pitted eyes of his aggresor he felt as though he shared a moment of understanding with the alien. "What are you fighting for." That is all he could think of as time seemed to slow to a crawl and the battle seemed to become a precursory snapshot of the galactic struggle about to ensue. Emile said aloud, "Good point," before pulling his Magnum out from his side and delivering a point blank shot to the Zealot's face. He had watched his family die right in front of him, and Six had surely either been killed along with them or been taken off planet to die in another battle. There was no honor in this anymore. This was a war of attrition, and he would take every kill he could get. He slowly lumbered over to the main controls and fumbled with them until the internal power for the ship was shut down. As he flipped on his night vision, he knew that he would only have the blood of his enemies to keep him warm tonight. Emile was never heard from again, but to this day stories are told within the UNSC ranks of a mercenary for hire. A man with a skull painted on his helmet, a single man who took down an entire Covenant fleet singlehandedly. He is known, as Oddball.

I wouldn't say any of the deaths were the slightest bit impactful or emotional, but Jorge was my favorite.
