Spartans never die... they just revert to last checkpoint.

Chief was just average, he had no specialities, just another Spartan that always wanted to win.
Look at Linda for example, she could out snipe John any day.
Kelly could outrun John any day.
Fred would beat John in hand to hand any day.
Each of these Spartans had their speciality. Those being Linda's impossible sniping skills. Kelly's incredible speed, and Fred's amazing talent of using knifes.
Those are just examples but John simply had no specialty aside from blatant killing. So he saved the Galaxy, that doesn't mean he was the best. Honestly, I could see Linda, Kelly, Fred and even Kurt in John's shoes and doing the exact same thing. They are all Spartans.
To me, Kurt was the greatest Spartan that ever lived.
Chief was a leader, and lucky. To me, his luck does not make him the best.

Linda is the best sniper, Kelly is the best runner, but John is the best Spartan. His achievements alone make him the greatest, destroying Halo, killing a prophet and defeating the flood. This was helped by luck, and Cortana, but even without her he stood out among his peers. He became the leader of the Spartans, beat up four ODSTs at the age of 14.
After John starts working with Cortana he is without a doubt the greatest Spartan. He survived Ackerson's trap, and basically saved humanity throughout the trilogy.
Ugh... I'm sorry mate, but the ODST example doesn't count. He didn't know his strength, and the ODST's thought he was just a random teen who they could easily beat up.
Though he, he can kinda take credit for destroying halo, and he can take credit for killing a prophet, simply because Truth didn't allow reinforcements to arrive. He didn't destroy the Covenant, Thel did. He didn't defeat the flood, Cortana did.
His actions wouldn't have happened without Cortana. If Cortana wasn't there he'd just be a lucky team leader. He did those things with difficulty.
Idiot. You say withought Cortana those things wouldn't have happened. True.
What if Chief didn't make it off Halo but Cortana did? Without Chief none of that would have happened. In your mind there can only be key player. There are many.
To those saying he was average:
Linda was a better sniper. Surely Chief was better in other ways.
Fred was the best CQC. Surely Chief was better in other ways.
Chief wasn't just the best leader. He had no weaknesses compared to the other Spartans. He wasn't the worst at anything, he was better than every other in certain ways.
