High enough so he can give orders to any soldier, low enough so he can be bossed around by those not on the field.

He has the highest rank possible without being an officer. MCPO is around the Navy equivalent of a sergeant. In other words he's not that high on the totem pole.

Master Chief Petty Officer is equivalent to Sergeant Major in the Army and Marines and Chief Master Sergeant in the Air Force. It's the second highest NCO rank in the Navy. As of 2553, however, John is promoted to Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy, the highest NCO rank.

So for most of the Halo games, he is the same rank as Johnson.

Well he can order soldiers on the field but he needs to listen to Generals, Captains and Admirals. I believe he is also techically subordinate to certain ONI figure, Jorge had to follow Halsey's orders and he is of similar rank.

Even Carter, a Commander, much higher rank than mc, had to obey to ONI and Halsey. And probably Hurband Holland did too.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

Master Chief Petty Officer is a high enough rank to command any soldier on the battlefield in combat, but also must take orders from commanding officers. Basically it's just above Sergent.

"Wort wort wort!"

Does rank matter when there's a strategic genius bred for war next to you and an army of aliens in front of you? If i was on the field, I'd listen to MC no matter his rank

I'm sure wikipedia can take it from here.
