10 Video Game Heroes Forced To Die For The Greater Good
8. Noble Six - Halo: Reach
Acting as a prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo: Reach follows six Spartans known as Noble Team in their attempts to stop the Covenant invasion, with you playing the role of Noble Six. Noble Team is sent on many missions to defend locations and other military assets against the invading Covenant forces, but with the growing danger involved in each mission, Noble Team members Jorge and Kat are killed.
They later meet Dr. Catherine Halsey, the scientist behind the SPARTAN-II Program that created Noble Team. She provides them with an artefact from the Forerunners - a race of ancient beings that created technologies such as the Halo Array - which she believes could help them win the war.
This artefact is revealed to be the AI, Cortana.
Jun goes with Dr. Halsey to a different base whilst the remnants of Noble Team are tasked with escorting Cortana off of Reach but are forced to fight off waves of Covenant to reach the UNSC Pillar of Autumn to escape. In the final stand, Emile and Carter are killed, leaving Six alone to defend the Pillar of Autumn as it takes off.
Six is eventually overwhelmed and killed but had it not been for the sacrifices of Noble Team, then humanity may very well have lost the war against the Covenant.
