My mate has been telling me that the master chief is a cyborg. But when i looked in the booklet it is a SUIT he is wearing and it says that hes only genetically enhanced to make his eyeseight better ect.
And to add to this he takes his helmet off at the end. If he was a robot he would be taking his head off right???
Can someone tell me if he is actually a robot?

Cyborg and Robot are two different things.

Cyborg means like a hybrid: a human that is enhanced by something mechanical. So anyone with a plastic heart, or a pacemaker, is a cyborg.

In that boat, Master Cheif has had a LOT of genetic reconfiguration AND does use that suit, so he is a cyborg, but not a robot. He is an actual PERSON, if that's what you're asking. Bones, brains, blood, hair, ect.

Have you read "The Fall of Reach"? Don't take every word of it literally, but it gives you some good info.

its been a while but if i remember correctly a cyborg and a robot are two different i think a cyborg is a human with robot like enhancements such as for vision strength etc.

Dont forget he has some kind of metal augmented onto his body so his bones dont break (think Wolverine), he also had joints etc toughened and loadsa crap! Also if you read the manual it does actually call the Spartans "cyborg super soldiers" or something like that!
(It has the word cyborg in it)

Go to this site for everything wou ever need to know on Halo. http://library.psyjnir.net/?id=1 . BTW to get the books either order them off the web, or go to a hobby store, or a good book store.

If you dont own the books just read your manual, it tells you there!! One thing it doesnt say is that the Spartans were human before they underwent the process to make them into the mean, green fighting machines they are now!

He has reinforced bones, enhanced musscles and eyesight, and his helmet somehow connects to his brain, so whatever he thinks, his suit does. his suit reacts as fast as he thinks. He was taken from birth and replaced with a flash clone. that's about all i know.

ChiChi, you spelled Spartan wrong. Let me put all the right facts down so that no one gets mixed up and repeat ourselves. The MasterCheif is a cyborg and captured at the age of six by Dr. Halsey and Captain Keyes. John 117 ( MasterCheif ) was trained with 74 other children.
By the age of 8 there were only 68 children left in the program. ( Including John )
By the age of 14 There were 45 Spartans left. 12 of them were too critically injured to be in fighting condition. So they were put in ONI because they were still very smart. So 33 able Spartans were left after all the augmentations and drills and classes.
Theyre first mission was when they were 14. To infiltrate a rebel base and capture the leader. The mission was succesful. So much that the Spartans blew up most of the base. John117 got his first badge on that mission. A purple heart. He got shot in the stomach and still fought and captured the leader. When the Spartans were 14 they got their first MJOLNIR battlesuits. These were the early versions of the ones you see in Halo. They looked the same but didn't have sheilding.

That's most you need to know before the humans encountered the Covenant.

The ancient spartans started at the age of seven. I think its cool how they call them the Spartan II soldiers.
