Chief was neither the strongest the fastest or the smartest, but he was the luckiest.

And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives: not men, for flags.

First off, to avoid this being locked, I would remove the all caps title. On the topic, many Spartans were good at everything, with a specialty. Kelly is fastest, Sam was strong, Linda was the best marksman, Kurt had a good intuition for when things were wrong, John (MC) was considered lucky by Cortana, Fred was all around good, and in the books it was said that John thought Fred could have won many of the challenges in the training, but just didn't want the attention. So yes, in a way each Spartan was better than the others.

Better? What made Master Chief the "best" of them all is that he good with everything (others were the best with 1 thing but bad with others).

That's a quote from one of the books, isn't it? I recognise it...I wanted to say that, almost to the letter but you beat me to it :P

if there was a spartan better than the chief, why didn't THEY blow up the entire covenant armada? i rest my case.

  • 10.19.2009 4:41 PM PDT

The spartan's had special qualities, but The Chief is the luckiest and was the best leader, so Master Chief would win a fight against the other spartans and is more beneficial to actual combat, so yeah he is the best spartan.

I wouldn't say the others were bad with anything. They just had their specialties. IMO, there were other Spartans that could have done what Chief did, if they had been presented with his circumstances. However, they might have went about things differently than he did.

how do i change the title?

  • 10.19.2009 4:43 PM PDT

There are two things on this forum that piss me off;
Idiots and group invites.
What's even worse, is that I can never seem to get away from either of them ¬_¬

Master Chief is actually rather average for a Spartan. It was only his leadership ability, resolve and luck that got him where he is now. And those checkpoints probably helped somewhere along the line... :D

Yeah that's basically what i wanted to say. Lately words seem to be failing me... or i seem to be failing at using them correctly.

It was in Fall of Reach, but also restated by Cortana in the intro to Arrival in Halo 3.

No, that was Kelly. And I think Sam was the 'tank', but I'm not totally sure having not read the books myself.

Kid, you are asking questions that don't make much sense and no one in the community could answer them to you. Hypothetical are dumb since there is no real way to measure anything when you provide an answer. Also, any questions you might have about Spartans and such, i suggest you read about it in http://halo.wikia.com.

He's an average Spartan holding the class of assault and the leader. He's not incredible at anything in combat but he doesn't have any of weaknesses either.

It's the luck that carries him where he is.
