25 Most Tragic Deaths In Video Game History

13. Noble Team - Halo: Reach

Everyone who plays Halo: Reach knows how it will end. After all, it tells the story of the most well known and tragic event in the Halo series, the Fall of Reach. The game is built from the ground up as a tragedy, and the result is a game full of overwhelming doom; a mood that serves to make the loss of Noble Team all the more poignant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpK0UEqdEhg From Jorge's honorable sacrifice to Kat's sudden death, it is Noble Team's willingness to sacrifice themselves at all costs, even when all hope seems lost, that makes their deaths so tragic and meaningful. Everything they stand for can be summed up in the final moments of the game, when, all alone on the fallen planet, Noble 6 doesn't give up and goes out fighting until the bitter end; a moment made all the more powerful by your playing it.
