don't understand how this topic ends up appearing so often, how anyone can argue that 117 is not the best SPARTAN is beyond me.


Stupidity is rampant here. Beware. I'm gonna stop trying to beat it out of these people.


It is indeed rampant here, though I didn't really created the thread to start an argument, I wanted to explore why people didn't think Chief was the best Spartan, and I think it has mostly done it's purpose, there is/was only one real argument with someone on troll like status, but that seems to have blown over now.


Yep, started as intelligent discussion between the two sides, both being respectful.

Then we had idiots charge in and start a downward spiral.


I know, I think for threads such as this one a downward spiral is inevitable, at some point someone will come along and turn it into a flame war or at least try. Discussions on things such Reach, or theories involving Cryptum will tend to fair a lot better I think.

Ultimately I don't really care whether other people think Chief is the best Spartan or not, I think some of the arguments against him being such might be a little flimsy, but then the same can be said about some of my ideas too.

Eh, as long as the two sides are respectful, it's fine.

Indeed, in fact, I quite enjoy a good old civil disagreement/argument (partly why I made the thread too). I guess this thread is pretty much done now...I mean, no one else is adding any further points of discussion...maybe I'll go dig through and respond to some of the comments that particularly need addressing. Just so long as that guy who was arguing heavily with you and Cobra doesn't come back...>_>

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

It's not about the best ones, it's about the right ones. Master Chief is the right Spartan.

He hasn't posted yet. He probably turned tail when logic smacked him in the face...

That guy was weird 100%.

I know really! I didn't even really read his so called "arguments" because they just didn't make any sense, and there was no point in reading them.

I would not be surprised if he did turn tail and run. I'll probably level my canons at him too if he does come back >:) *cue evil and maniacal laughter*

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

As Dt. Halsey said, he is neither the smartest, nor the strongest, but he is the bravest and luckiest.

That makes him the best.

Perhaps. The again, the likelyhood of Chief ever pulling that move off again is low.

When chief entered the engineering room I believe, an infection form jumped out, latched onto his neck and drove the infector spine in. Cortana overcharged his shields to pop it before it could tap/stab his spine.

It's in the book.

Yeah, He's the best with Cortana, without, IMO, he's a great leader, lucky, but overall 'average' for a Spartan in combat ability.


Oh yea! I forgot about that. Now I feel stupid :(

Yeah, as good as I think Chief is, I think that was like a once in a lifetime event. He might be able to pull it off again if he wanted/needed to, but I don't think it's very likely.

He's probably out there, killing a dictator and his (most probably) innocent family. Cause y'know, he's a pretty cool guy and don't afraid of anything xD

I still think Cortana chose John because she was made out of Halsey's brain and thus, inherited Halsey's favoritism for John.

There is no such thing as luck. Master Chief's "luck" is his ability to avoid being killed, and his instinct for being right. At the end of the day every Spartan has failed, Expect Spartan 117. You are of no use to the UNSC if you are dead.

Failed what? and John would be dead if it wasn't for Kurt.

I quite agree. He was certainly one of the worst people to argue with that I've seen on here.

That's probably a part of it, but there is no denying that Master Chief has an unspeakable amount of luck.
