Was sound not behaving just the same when you were in the Space ship? Look at Dawn. Sound was treated very differently. But this is irrelevant as we know there was an atmosphere being contained due to the Didact taking his helmet off. What makes you think that a nuclear explosion is going to get sucked into space, anyways? Because the majority of the destructive force from a nuclear bomb is generated via the transference of energy to adjacent particles. Obviously the entire thing wouldn't be sucked into space, but it would be diminished.

Then how in the hell did it explode the ship to where nothing is left seen when the Composer/Didact's shield was off? How would it do anything then just by a personal shield turning off? I'm arguing it because it doesn't make any damn sense. Analysis of [multispectral] and [dynamic signal] characteristics indicate Promethean Command Warship lost primary structural control [2557: 0725231423?], with [heart] conducting emergency [slip stream space] translation to [sector] rally point.Was there an atmosphere there? Yes. Sound was travelling normally. They both have sealed suits on and there isn't anything really to indicate there is. The Didact takes his helmet off. And again, if that's the case, then how come it did work once the Didact's shield bubble was down? The nuke was detonated right next to the Composer, ensuring the blast would affect the Composer before the vacuum of space was created.

Or Chief's a derp.
If you're going to debate the lore with me at least educate yourself. You're arguing from ignorance.
"The Didact's shielded himself inside the Composer. The nuke won't do us any good unless we can disable that barrier. Find me a terminal."
-Gameplay, Midnight, Halo 4
But the dish of the Composer is clearly sticking right out, and you're telling me that the nuke would've done nothing to the ship as long as the Composer was in it? If the rest of the ship is gone, then how's that going to function in the least?
Again, you're arguing from ignorance. The ship is 371km tall. A 5 Megaton bomb (presumably smaller as it excavation-grade) is going to do nothing against a ship that size. Plus, you're forgetting the vacuum of space is just a couple hundred meters above them. If they aren't close enough, the blast will blow a hole in the gravity field holding the atmosphere in, resulting in the blast just getting sucked into space.

1. Reed confirmed the Didact is still alive! =D
2. @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."
But he turned into cornflakes? How does one live after becoming cornflakes?
Bro it's 343i writing. How can Chief survive a nuke when it's in his hands? Space magic
The cringy Cortana scene that followed bothered me much more.
I actually laughed at how cringy that scene was. 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..."
"I was supposed to take care of you."
"Which is where you come in, Chief. Get Cortana off this ship. Keep her safe from the enemy. If they capture her, they'll learn everything. Force deployment, weapons research... Earth."
"I understand."
"We were supposed to take care of each other."
"I am your shield, I am your sword."
Laugh all you want, but those two lines of dialogue they say to each other encapsulate their entire relationship over the course of the games and beyond.
While I see what you're saying the dialogue looks good in text but the way it was executed felt very awkward. And then Chief going "Cortana plz" made me laugh because it felt so out of place.
The way it was executed? How did you want them to do it? Just casually say goodbye? Besides, most people seem to forget but the marketing campaign for Halo 4 portrayed Cortana as John's mother figure. (Which is an acceptable interpretation of their relationship as even Steve Downes says that's one of the possible ways you could interpret it.) I feel like everyone forgets that in Halo 3 the entire mission to the Ark was all based on Master Chief's trust of Cortana when everything pointed to her being corrupted to the Flood. Like, holy fuck, CHIEF PUT THE ENTIRE FATE OF HUMANITY'S EXISTENCE ON HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH CORTANA. Not just that, but Chief charged into one of the most, if not the most dangerous place in the galaxy just to get Cortana back. This relationship they've had has always existed, it's just never been tested before. (And Bungie doesn't like adding emotional depth to their characters).

Dude, the delivery and tone of that cutscene with the rest of the game and series is soo freaking awkward. It makes a semi-professional friendship seem like a love affair. Do you even canon? The majority of the Composer would appear to be outside the shield, only Didact is inside. Also, wouldn't they all be made out of the same hard light? Evidently what's on the outside is ultimately irrelevant to the generation of the Composer's sympathies.

"I've waited so long to do that"
*Cringing intensifies*
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. She was in the ship for quite a while..
And what exactly was stopping him from activating the nuke as soon as he entered the room?
There's something wrong with her wanting to be able to have physical sensations? 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?

Or common sense. It's no that hard to see Cortana teleported him...
If she teleported him then, she could've teleported him early on so he didn't have to wander through Didact's Space Banana.
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.

WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY NUKING EVERYBODY OFF IN THE COMICS.
THIS IS WHAT SPOPS WAS FOR GUYS.
The thing I do appreciate is that 343i isn't afraid of actually having shit happen. No stagnation. It's game of thrones up in this bitch.
Yeah but when the next game rolls out nobody's going to know what the fuck happened between then and now.
The plot arcs are nice in that they actually resolve themselves while introducing plot seeds. 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.
Not really, the people who complained they didn't know what was going on in simply half assed the story, not giving their full attention to what exactly was being said or going on. I wish these stories were told in another medium as well, but story content is story content. And as long as people aren't required to read Escalation to understand what happening in Halo 5, there's no problem.

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?
If he is indeed dead, what he did while he was alive did invoke some significant plot points. Also, he was never dead. Additionally, we now have a canon reason for why a boss fight against the Didact wouldn't have worked.

I have no idea... But, there's plot points that still suggest him being alive. I don't even know what really happened. He and Chief were in Gamma Halo's control room as it crashed down to the Composer's Forge. When it landed, that happened to the Didact, but the control room was still intact. I R CONFUZZLED  '
