I think he had his "luck", aka, Cortana, for a reason. Without her, he would've failed. Simple as that. If Noble Six had not delivered her to the Pillar, let me make a list of potentially "unlucky" things that would have happened at any point in any of the Halo campaigns:
1) Captain Keyes would never have found Halo without her coordinates. Now, even if he did find those coordinates by sheer blind, dead, and dumb luck, this is what would have happened...
2) The Covenant that arrive would have ripped the Pillar to shreds when Cortana was not there to man the MAC gun. Seeing as how she was already aboard, this might not have been a problem. However, without her, it is likely the Pillar would've been torn to shreds with everyone on board.
3) It is likely Cortana locked John's armor upon impact into Halo's surface, seeing as how she increases his speed, strength, and reaction time, it is less likely he would've survived without her than with her.
4) Cortana was there to help Master Chief find Keyes by way of a nav-point. If not for Keyes, the UNSC would've been disorganized and without a decent command structure, and more importantly, Master Chief would not have been able to do what he did without Keyes' neural implants.
5) Cortana got all of her information on Halo from Halo's Control System. If not for her intel, the UNSC would've never known anything about the Halo or the Flood.
6) Upon returning to the Control Center, without her, Master Chief would've activated Halo at the request of 343 Guilty Spark, and annihilated all life in the Galaxy.
7) Without Cortana, Master Chief would never have been able to escape the Monitor's Sentinel Army in Two Betrayals, as she was the one who teleported him. Thus, he also would never have been able to obtain the ship codes from Keyes' neural implants either, as he was where Cortana teleported him to.
8) Without Cortana, Master Chief would never have had enough time to escape from the Pillar, and even if he, by the grace of God, did, miraculously, have just enough time, he wouldn't have known of the lone Longsword in the Hangar, as it was Cortana who located it.
9) Without Cortana, Master Chief wouldn't have been able to deactivate the bomb aboard Cairo Station in time, let alone have been able to activate, and escape from the Assault Carrier if he did manage to deactivate it within a fraction of a second, which wouldn't leave him enough time to exit the ship and reach minimum safe distance in time, as Cortana's "activation upon touch" feature was what made this possible.
10) Without Cortana, they wouldn't have found out Regret's plan, and his location.
11) Without Cortana, Master Chief wouldn't have known where to go from the Council Chambers in Halo 2, she was his guide throughout the city, and afterwards, she even stayed behind to make sure the second Halo ring didn't fire while Chief went after Truth with the help of the Arbiter and the UNSC.
12) Without Cortana, Master Chief wouldn't have known how to stop the Flood without firing the Halo rings, and he wouldn't have found the Ark.
13) Without Cortana, Master Chief wouldn't have been able to destroy High Charity and kill the Gravemind, and even then, he didn't, Gravemind survived.
14) Without Cortana, Halo wouldn't have been able to be activated and destroy the Flood, because she had the Index. Without it, they would've been -blam!-.
15) Without Cortana, they wouldn't have been able to escape Halo in the Dawn in time.
Cortana is the reason Master Chief has been able to do what he has done. She has more character development and personality than the Master Chief or any character has ever had in any of the games, not to mention she is the only one who has fought Gravemind directly.
She is his shield.
She is his sword.
Without her, he is just another SPARTAN.
*facewall*
You realise Six only delivered a fragment of Cortana?The real one was chilling inside the autumn,the fragment was nothing more then something to study the Forerunner artifact.Hell you could delete it and it would affect the real cortana except that they lose their hope to save Humanity.
3)I want evidence that Cortana increases the strenght of a spartan she is with.
And i want evidence that she locked his armor,don't bring up any speculation .
4)Let's forget Major Silva who was the one who organised the troops,gave them a base and launched attacks on the Covenant.All Keyes did on Halo was being a prison,then taking a sleep for 3 hours then going straight in the hands of the flood.
I think the douchbag Silva deserves an award too.
The neural implants?In the end the implants were useless as Spark stopped the detonation and MC had to do it manually.
5)She only shared the info with Halsey,who turned into a -blam!- and took all info with her on Onyx.The UNSC never got their hands on the info except interviews with the survivors.
12)False,the Elites were planning to follow Truth through the portal anyway.
15)Why not?
The rest of your points are true,but why did you had to bring all of that stuff up?I can make a list to that if Chief didn't do that ,then blablabl
What you forgot is that Cortana isn't the only who saved the day,the Chief is the one who protected her,carried her and saved him.
Both of them needed eachother and not like what you just said.
