definately johnson halo began with him and its only fitting it ends with him. only wish johnson was a playable character

... Seriously? You play as an iconic badass for three games, and you think its Johnson?

Stop Right There Criminal Scum, Pay Your Fine Or Go To Jail!11!

Dont you think the grave mind would be a little more crucial. I
mean without him halo wouldnt exist and master chief would have been fighting innies all his career oblivious that there ever was a flood. The covenant would just be scattered aliens and AJ johnson would be retired sippin lemonade.

It has to be the chief. The greatest warrior mankind has ever seen....saviour of humanity...the games are all based around his story and most of the books aswell. Even the ones that are not directly related to him are giving background to the characters and universe that the chief is the main protaganist in. The whole series stemmed from him so therefore he dfines the series.

yes johnson im not just talking about the games but the books 2. halo 3 is halos end and johnson dies AT THE END. Halo begins with contact harvest and whos the main character JOHNSON. MC doesnt make it till the fall of reach. not only that hes second generation. a whole spartan program was created b4 him. 95% of the ppl who vote MC are gonna be ppl who only played the games not ALL of the books.

But does he define the Halo series? No, not really. Sergeant Johnson is a hard working, fairly average solider who hates the covenant and isn't afraid to say so. I think he very well defines the humans will to survive.

First of all I voted for the chief and I have read a of the books. Im going to pose a question to you.... would Contact Harvest have been written if Halo CE was never made? Obviously not.Who is the central character in Halo Ce? Its the chief. He is the main part of the games which is where all the expanded universe comes from.

Contact Harvest is in the books. If you read all of them, Master Chief is in almost every one, or he's at least mentioned. Plus, you play as him in Halo 1, Halo 2, and Halo 3. Now tell me, which Halo game is Johnson the main character in?

  • 10.17.2009 8:36 AM PDT

Awesome isn’t just a word. Awesome is a way of life. Awesome is a way of war. Teamwork matters the most. Lone Wolves jeopardize the missions. Teamwork is key. Resistance is futile. The covenant fear us, not the other way around. We don’t fight for Earth. We don’t fight for Reach. We fight for the good of mankind because we are A.W.E.S.O.M.E. Alpha Wolf Elite Squadron Ordinary Mammals Electrocuted. Click the Homepage.

Sgt.Johnson is the guy everyone would kill off from the halo series (as said in one thread). John 117 is the spartan who survived all 3 Halo games, and still lived (as seen in legendary ending). He's like a one man army. He killed Guilty Spark, and I havent read the books, and I dont remember exactly, but I think he killed Gravemind. Sgt. Johnson got killed in Halo 3. Compare:

Survived Halo 1:
Johnson
Chief

Survived Halo 2:
Johnson
Chief

Survived Halo 3:
Chief


Most likely to live in the next trilogy:
Master Chief


I vote chief.

who is Maj Jhonson? you mean Sgt. Avery Johnson?

that statmenent is false and ill prove it ODST makes no mention of CHief and that is a game.

reach will have no MC it will be the team of spartans that he sent down to reach and that will be a game

halo 2 was split and without the arbiter who gets alot less credit than he should the 2nd halo started by tartrus would have destroyed the universe MC included.

halo wars has nothing to do with mc and the spartans seen im 85% sure are spartan 1s

and MC is only in 3 books fall of reach the flood and first strike and he wasnt the main character in 1st strike the other spartans were

conclusion MC is a important character in HAlO but b/c in about half the series hes left out id have to disagree with him being the defining character in a series where the books and games dont agree with each other

I'm just saying that the chief isn't average enough so that you can relate to him, he doesn't think anything like us, if that makes sense.

Im not saying he's the be all and end all of the Halo universe but he is the main character. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinions so Im not going to have an argument. If this was supposed to be a poll/discussion it failed. you should have just posted "Johnson defines the Halo series"

  • 10.17.2009 8:49 AM PDT

FINISH THE FIGHT

Sgt Johnson is
1 badass
2 funny
just like halo

MC went to Halo after Reach.

Actually the Chief was at Reach but just not on the surface. Assuming that the game will at least partly take place during the initial attack there very well could be a mission on the orbital station where you play as the chief. By the time the Chief was on Halo the battle for Reach was well and truly over.

Unfortunately, it wasn't a very long mission so it would most likely be one campaign level if it is featured.

actually MC is the main character in first strike. who went and saved the rest of the spartans on Reach? MC. it even says on the back of the book
"Now, everything depends on the spartan Master Chief"

and he is the defining character, if it weren't for the chief there wouldn't be a good enough reason for a character surviving thousands of covenant and the flood.

  • 10.17.2009 9:13 AM PDT

MC may be the main character and be in the most games. But he isn't much of a character himself. His appearence is that of a Spartan but he has no other characteristics. Sgt. Johnson on the other hand is a well developed character.
