I say john b/c hes amazing.

If you need to add just add more SPARTANS.

For those whom are naive:

John=main character most lucky

SAm=best friend of John

Kelly=fastest of all SPARTANS

James=tough guy

Li=space trained

Linda=best sniper

John no question. John is also the most courageous not only the luckiest as Dr. Halsey explains to Cortana.

Very hard to tell. For certain circumstances you could go w/ different ones...

But all around I'd say John...he's more "experienced" (if you can call it that) and is excellent in the all-around area.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

I liked Sam... he was cool. One of the original 3 "best friends group" (John, Kelly, Sam). Why'd he have to die so young?

Either him or Linda, because she's a super-sniper.

No offense to John. He's awesome, as well (as are all Spartans), but he's the main character... I like to branch from main characters to determine my favorites... just something I tend to do.

Come on, he had a whole in him and even if he escaped the ship, he had a rip in his suit. He would die in space.

I dunno...

Chances are he did die, but I've heard people debate that he could still be alive; it was too bad he had to die off though

I go for Linda because of how she sniped in FIRST STRIKE. You know with one HAND and she was holding herself on a rope.

I picked Sam probally because he was my favorite but, he died before he even had a chance to fight the covenent. All the other Spartans fought for years and we know of there achievements So it is hard to say.

I know; Linda is extremely badass

Nah, I think Sam is dead. He was close to the nuke when it went off, and if he survived that, space would've killed him.

If anyone is actually still alive and MIA besides Kelly, its James. It never said he died, nor did they find any Mjolnir power signature in the debris around Reach before it was completely overrun.... He could've been captured when he litterally spun into the grasp of Covenant troops.

James was cool, too. He didn't quit, although it, in the end, led to his assumeable death.

I gotta vote John.

Even though I like Kelly and her character type (the fast, stealthy scout), there's just something about the Chief that makes him the best. I think maybe it's his sense of duty to his squad, and the fact that he goes through a pretty drastic change in First Strike, namely, that he comes to see the value of every single human life, that make him the most worthy to lead the best of the best.

Let's not forget about Fred-O either. Fred was another character who's sense of loyalty superseded his sense of self. He's constantly worried about his teammates, which really reflects the way I play Halo (and most other team games). I'm constantly plucking enemies off my teammates' backs, and I think that's the best way to play, and I think that extends to liking characters in the books who think the same way.
Look how upset the Chief gets when Linda gets shot: he is just sickened. Then look at how he acts when they get ready to attack the Covie CnC station: he wishes he could order them all to stay behind and fight the Covie's himself.

So, 117 in one word: Noble
