jesus. what's wrong with you? I only call them spartans because I have spent way too much damn time here recently. The game only mentions master chief as being a spartan a couple times at most, and like that other guy said, the multiplayer spartans look like master chief so they call them master chief. Sorry for not wasting my time on those damn books.

I no hes the leader, but as it says in manual for Halo CE hes the last! <first strike might change that! considerin it was after Halo 2 had started being developed> and also MCs are better than Spartans!


John was NEVER the last Spartan In The Fall of Reach it's made clear that some survived and anyone who's read it can tell you that it's obvious the story in Halo 1 was written with that book in mind.


I've read the books more than anyone, but the main reason people call him MC is because he is presumed in the HALO MANUAL as being the last one, so everyone is based on him! read my post before you slate it!

Um, no. Master Chief is a Navy ranking. It's the highest rank a petty officer can recieve. It is incredibly difficult to achieve this ranking.

In the Halo universe, the US navy has been replaced by the global-united UNSC, but they kept the US Navy ranking system obviously.

I gotta say, its get on my nerves when people talk about "Master Chief" like its a cool name Bungie made up. If you are so into Halo, you could get it right and call them Spartans. Or call them by their player names like 99% of people do.

Someone said that you can call them Marines. here is what I have to say 'Spartan II project is headed by the NAVY."

Right the Spartan II project was headed by the navy but Spartans are marines.

Dude, why don't you go to your friendly local NAVY recruiter and tell him you would like to join as a Marine. See what he says.

Spartans are part of Navy's Special Warfare Unit, so if you really wanted to call them something "SEAL' would be more appropriate.

Some people really need a hobby. Or at least something better to obsess over.

Like? Keira Knightley.

First, reading the books is, by no strech of the imagination a 'waste of time.'

Second, no, the Multiplayer SPARTAN IIs do not look anything like the Master Cheif John. The armour is, obviously, the same mold, but there is no way to match the colour, and under the armour is a totally different story... =P
