So they brought him back just to kill him for sure? What was the point of that?I haven't read it so did he get shot or could he have been composed and could come back as some kind of super-promethean?

Didact was gone at the end of Halo 4, he's still gone now.

Didact was gone at the end of Halo 4, he's still gone now.But the point is, they could have practically made a game out of all this. Moonbaby, Arby, and Hood in negotiations with a UNSC traitor being dammicky trying to fuck everything up. Capitalist Elites on underworld-type Covenant stations. Infinity getting it's clock cleaned out. The Spirit of Fire being rediscovered with a missing crew. Chief and Blue team fighting on the third Halo against Didact.You could make an entire campaign out of all these plot points, new levels, new options, potential for a lot of things. And it would keep the simpler folks updated on things through 343's signature sexy CGI cutscenes. One of the complaints with 4 was that it delved deep into the lore but never really explained it all to the people who couldn't or didn't follow the novels, and were left scratching their heads.
Chief and Blue team fighting on the third Halo against Didact.
Additionally, we now have a canon reason for why a boss fight against the Didact wouldn't have worked.
1. Reed confirmed the Didact is still alive! =D
What about the other one? He's still drifting in space somewhere.
1. Reed confirmed the Didact is still alive! =D2. @Assassin, his armor attunes to the damage it is recieving, negating its effects. Fred shot the Didact in the face with an overcharged Boltshot and he just says, "We're done here."

It just felt so awkward with the dialogue. "I was supposed to take care of you""We were supposed to take care of each other""Cortona plz"The thing that actually got me was Chief reminiscing with Lasky while staring at Earth. That was great. "Soldiers aren't machines, we're just people..."

She didn't have access to the teleportation grid until she was merged with the Mantle's Approach.And he needed to activate the nuke.

What was stopping him from activating the nuke as soon as he entered the room?Hmm... I don't know, maybe a giant fucking shield?
Well... I refuse to believe it, but the Didact's dead.
