if the Master Chief were to become obsolete,that would mean they would have to come up with a whole new set of augmentations and MJOLNIR Mark VII armor to go with the new augmentations. the experiments started in 2494,and were used first in 2525,but were perfected in 2552. so thats 58 years. unless the Covies are still around in 2610,the Spartan III's will be unnecessary.
unless the Mark VII armor wasnt stronger,the new augmentations would also be unnecessary. if the Mark VII is stronger, do you think the augmentations,made for the Mark V and VII,will be enough to harness a stronger suit?
an like i said before,they will be technologically obsolete,but will forever be superior in tactical prowess and bravery.
