Some say he's a cyborg! Others say he's a human.I think he's a human... A cyborg doesn't bleed? A cybord is more robotlooking. MasterChief is talking and acting like a human. I don't get it. He must be a human. But why is he then isolated in that freezebox thing at the start? VERY confusing.

hahaha!!! i'll go easy on you. he is a human, and his name is john if you didnt know that. the reason he is frozen is because he is in a cryo tube because its quite a long journey from where they left to where they were going. and if you think he is a cyborg because of what he looks like, its just his mjolnir armor. but he is a cyborg to a point. his body has been augmented and given lots of drugs and what not to make him a lot strongerand has reflexes way beyond the average human, and his bones are so thick they are almost unbreakable. if you want more details messege me or just read the books man

P.S.-your lucky i didnt flame you, muwahahaha!!!!

Ding Ding!

A cyborg is defined as a human aided by mechanical or electronic devices. The Chief has a nural implant (although so do all UNSC personel). So in technical terms he is a Cyborg, but it's not like he is robocop or The terminator or anything. Under the armor he is just a normal guy that has had surgery and drugs to make him tougher. He is not a robot or anything similar, it's just a steryotype that a cyborg is like that.

The last man on Earth sat in a room, there came a knock at the door.

Service Record

Read the manual, he's a cyborg. And btw, technically, people with pacemakers or prosthetic limbs, are cyborgs.

Cyborg, at least in the weird Brit scientist's (whose name has temporarily escaped me - Kevin someone) opinion, as he is augmented.

Cyborg- A human who has certain physiological processes aided or controlled by mechanical or electronic devices.
So having neural* (=D) implants wouldn't be helping him perform physicological processes, they'd add to what he could do, not aid what he does already. In part, Master Chief SPARTAN-117 John is HUMAN, more or less that is..

robocop took off his helmet

Well, the implant does not aid him physically, but it does give him information about his mission, as well as his surroundings. It also lets him communicate with Cortana. So in a way, it does help him.

He's a cyborg, it's written in the booklet supplied with the game.

His armour is attached to him surgically in some parts.

Also just so we're clear, we have cyborgs in todays society. Anyone with a pacemaker or a replacement hip (etc) is classified as a cyborg.

actually, he can't be a cyborg because to be a cyborg, you have to be part human... John is a leprechaun.

dumbass... listen to the grunts. sometimes they'll say "bad cyborg" and if you ever read the books... actually he is human but they consider him a cyborg cuz of his MJOLNIR armor. And the freezer thing was a god damn cryo tube. why in the hell do you think they kept saying cryo, cryo, cryo on the pillar of autumn and the maw.

I think you mean robot. Um...
Cyborgs are things with both biological and mechanical pieces. So. Yeah. Think the Borg from Star Trek if you're a true nerd.

But im too sexy- so I cant think that.

guys... he's a cyborg in the most technical sense, he's also still very human. i have all the books and it clearly explains that he in an augmented and biologically enhanced soldier. ofcourse he's still a free thinking man but because of his implants and augmentations he is technically a cyborg, dont foget though that cyborgs and robots are very different. cyborgs can be just regular people with artificial enhancements.
