Something mentioned in the Halo novels is that John would have been an incredible human even without military training or augmentations. Dr Halsey saw it when she first met him, he mopped the playground with his classmates winning easily and smiling while doing it, stood a head taller than the rest of them, was just plain intelligent and mature for a 6 year old. He was just something else entirely, though 100% human

I still can't believe people think Arbiter could take Chief, his strength is near on par with his, not to mention Spartan speed is said to move faster than eyes can track. My favorite moment of Chief was when Locke broke his visor and he stood up slowly more pissed off than hurt

The intro level to Halo 2 with the bomb sequence is one of, if not the best intro level in gaming history.

In my theory the Master chief is just
*BUILT* *DIFFERENT*

[snickers]

Also John received the Librarians Blessing…basically it was planned that John 117 be the best. He’s basically a Demi-God lol like Achilles.

[KasperMcKay]

You keep referring to the chief as “part of the army”
Just a reminder, he was navy personnel

[tylerkoch]

Sgt Johnson was a Spartan 1 so of course he is on the top of the list. As well as Buck in Halo Five as a Spartan 4

What's interesting to me is how (many youtube commenters as well) Cortana herself in the intro scene to halo 3 that John has alot of luck. More than most, as you can notice if you actually play from 1-3. You can see this as well in Fall of Reach during the coin flip, now that had more to do with John neurologically but, is also a classic metaphor, and you have to pay attention that it was done theatrically.
Now not to say others haven't sacrificed for John, or that the fact that he's always had a way out or next step hasn't made sense contextually, but let's realize this as well.
Does anyone else deserve this luck? Could anyone else withstand and make use of it? John suffers from his luck, almost being made to keep walking, I even believe there were some scenes ala Crysis 3 where he was basically battered underneath the suit.
This speaks to the halo 4 interaction John had with that (forerunner lady? It's been years since I played 4) being who told him that everything in the universe had led him to that point on purpose, that he was a critical cog in the machine of cosmic life on a grand scale, which also speaks to his bleakness and inability to relate to others, while circumstantial (and due to PTSD), John as a fundamental being seems to be made to be stronger than others in every way and always in the right place in the right time, in a way he is the chosen one, in a much more true sense though John is cursed to his mantle.
What else can we say about a man who watches everyone he meets die and has to ford alone through Halos, alien planets, destroyed human civilizations and the cold expanse of space?
He just IS the best and he doesn't have a choice because he is cursed. Spartans were a whole society but in their time HE alone is known as THE Spartan, he sets the standard for the crystalline metal armor bearers because not a single other person could stand up to it.

Great video👌🏼 I may also add, spartan 2's were so special and effective because they were taken at started training at such a young age, modeling the original Greek Spartans of ancient times, groomed for war almost since birth. Their strengrh was in their mind and their mental conditioning I think as well

01:28 This is the in Halo universe equivalent of getting all Dark Souls II achievements except for the one "This is Dark Souls" achievement! Which involves you dying in Dark Souls II

As far as I remember Master Chief has the genetic spark of an ancient soldier who fought against the flood and Forerunners.

Spartan B-312 aka Noble 6 almost the same as master chief but weaker

[Alcatrazzzzzz]

He's a pretty cool guy. eh killz aliens and doesn't afraid of anything.

[lastword]

Also the man fought endless hordes of smart zombies and went into a grave mines home and came back out

[thedrbat]

the one question ive always wondered about was that were the spartan 1's more affective than 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7's?

[chicitizen]

Master Chief was taken prisoner by the Gravemind, he should have received the POW medal as well. Master Chief was an average Spartan II Supersoldier, Kelly was faster and Fredrick had better hand to hand combat skills. Even Cortana states the Master Chief wasn't the biggest or strongest, HE BASICALLY HAD LUCK!!!

[OGDigital]

I say Noble Six even though they don't have much lore and was a vessel only for the player, if they were still alive I feel they would make more of a story for Six.

[jensonpreacher]

this was a well made video ALSO spartan Locke was a spartan 4 and was a pile of s*** compared to the weakest spartan 2

[cyberwolfy]

I subscribe to the theory that Master Chief is the culmination of scattered gene song that was the Iso-Didact, The child of the forerunner who build the halo ring, and was the one who ultimately fired it.
Bornstellar was unique because he was imprinted with the Ur-Didact's knowledge and personality. Making him like clone of the Ur-Didact, the once supreme commander of the Forerunner army.
in Halo 4, the mission reclaimer, the Librarian told master chief:
"Reclaimer, when I indexed mankind for repopulation, I hid seeds from the Didact. Seeds which would lead to an eventuality. Your physical evolution. Your combat skin. Even your ancilla, Cortana. You are the culmination of a thousand lifetimes of planning."
now as to why the seed is the Iso-Didact, it's all explained by 343 Guilty Spark. Spark was the Iso-didact's friend before and after being converted from a proto-human into a monitor. his quotes at the start of two betrayals hint at it.
"last time you asked me, if it were my choice, would I do it?"
last time basically means the last time the iso-didact fired the ring. Sparks recognize Master Chief's combination of geas as the same one as his old friend, that's why he acted like they've met before and that's why he called chief a forerunner at the end of halo 3. Humanity isn't Forerunner, but Chief is a Forerunner in genetic. He's the reincarnated Supreme Commander of the Forerunner.

John, the only one that can deny his chip to an officer and walk away like nothing.
