A CYBORG IS AN ENHANCED HUMAN DUMBASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is a cyborg. Cyborg is a combination of two words: CYBornetic and ORGanic. Duh. That's why he's 7 feet tall and can flip over tanks with one hand.

He hasta have the suit be "part" of him, or else how could the Spartins be able to control them? They haveta be connected with the nerves or sumthing for them to control them, and once you connect them I think it would hurt a whole lot to rip them out.. (take off the suit)


His neural implants interface with the suit so they CAN take off the suit. (watch the endgame cutscene, he takes off his helmet)

read "the fall of reach" it tells all about the sparten project, and you get the answer right of the bat.

Ok u n00bs......

having read all three of the Halo books twice, i think i have a pretty clear idea what the MC is

A Cyborg (Cybernetic + Organism = Cyborg) is a bionic human
Bionic is having normal biological capability or performance enhanced by or as if by electronic or electromechanical devices

So in essence, its a Human with any sort of machine inside it which increases its mental or Physical preformance

THE MC DOESNT HAVE ANY OF THAT.

In the books, he goes through tissue and bone enhancment surgery. All of it allows a dramatic increase in speed, strength, agility, reflexes, vision, hearing, and endurance. The surgery gives him the body of (and i quote) "An 18 year old Olympic athlete at the age of 12"

By the times hes 18....hes that much stronger....and he keeps getting stronger. This allows him to carry that 1000lbs suit that we wear the entire game. That suit (as described in the books) multiplys his peed, strength, agility, reflexes, vision, hearing, and endurance yet again making him an extremely effective killer. All that stuff allows us to run around in the game and take down 8 foot elites and 10 foot hunters.

All this being said, the MC by himself isnt a Cyborg...hes human.

However, his suit (an electromechanical device) is amplifying his strengths, so while he wears it, by definition, he is a Cyborg

Were so used to think of Cyborgs as 1/2 tissue, 1/2 machine when the reality of things are its not nearly that complex. Anyone with a prosthetic leg that in any way is electronic to help them walk can be called a cyborg.

Everyone understand?

this thread is serious flamebait by the way

You can't be a mixture of both. You're either a cyborg or not. He is, fact; read the books.

I think you've all sort of proven that hes a human when he isnt wearing the suit and a cyborg when he is, and that makes sense. So stop talking about it.

master chief or john which is his real HUMAN name is a human. he was obducted as a little boy and trained and enhaced. some parts of him are metal though. all his bones were enhanced by metal inplants so he could where his armor. the armor would enhance your reaction time and move your body parts faster for you. and the reason that normal marines couldn't where the armor, because the reaction in the armor was so fast it would snap every bone in there body. but to answer your question, he is human.

A cyborg is a human being with mechanical/computer parts added. Cyborgs can die. Just hope the robotic parts dont claw their way out of the coffin and slay the funeral guests.
