Lets put it this way... Master Chief killed a millions of covenant units. He probably killed double or quadruple that number of Flood units.
Should you question anymore? Comparing 6 to Chief with obscure information about 6 is no comparison and if you would compare 6 with the information you have as much as you know, 6's experience in battle proves to be terribly inferior to the Chief's capabilities. Killing millions of covenant forces and flood infections allowed him to technically learn better methods of close range fighting and shooting tactics which greatly outweighs the low experience but well trained N6.
Chief strugglers every 1v1 with an Elite or Brute, while Fred, Will and Noble Six won't hesitate to kill anyone with their bare hands on 1v1.
Read the books, seriously, John is an average Spartan who had to deal with fairly small Covenant fleet after Reach had fallen. Any Spartan could have managed that with an AI.
No, John is an above average Spartan. Even as a 6 year old boy, he was clearly gifted. The only time when John struggled in a 1v1 was when he was extremely wounded, he was suffering from broken ribs, brain damage, muscle fataigue, and he had just finished fighting on Reach, watching all his friends die, watching an entire planet get glassed, discovering the flood, and blowing up Halo. He was up against a rested up and ready to fight Spec-Ops Elite with a sword, John only had his fists. He still won by kicking the Elite across the room though.
With that being said, other Spartan's are better in hand to hand combat than John is, but John as a whole is still an above average Spartan, with his weakpoint being hand to hand combat. He still win's all his hand to hand fights though...
As for saying that any other Spartan would have accomplished the same thing with Cortana, that MIGHT be true, however you must remember that John has luck on his side.
Yeah, he has luck on his side, but I'm mainly tired of people repeating that, because it's not going to save him from a hyper-lethal Spartan super soldier in 1v1, or from the glassing of Reach, if he was the one defending the generators.
The reason I consider him ''an average Spartan'' is that I don't recall any Spartan-II (or S-III in MJOLNIR) ''being worse, or less capable'' at any combat specialties he currently holds in the battlefield.
