Subject: The Chief Is Getting Old

I love the entire Halo series, Halo 2 being my favorite of the games. I think that the universe is compelling and the story is deep, sweeping, and powerful. The hidden layers in the Halo trilogy and rich details of the backstory in the novels are something I love to be lost in, and im greatly looking forward to the story that Halo: Reach will weave. Bungie has carefully and lovingly crafted a mythic tale that will stay etched in my mind until the end.

He's 42 by the end of Halo 3.


Exactly. Master Chief was born in 2511, Halo CE and Halo 2 take place in 2552, while Halo 3 Takes place in 2553.

Not to mention Spartan years are different from regular human years. A Spartan II, because of his genetic augmentation, is like to live a much healthier, longer life. When the Master Chief is 50 or 60 he will probably still perform like a younger man.

Could be just battle grunts when he just gets shot or hit by covenant fire. Doesn't mean that he's getting old in my opinion.

only eat one small snack a week to save money on food and just have water toilet and lights to save money thats my plan

Though the Earth is dying we must enrich her body, for the ground we tread is hφly.

I'm a lion in a world where everybody's content with being cats.

He's been alive for right around 42 years at the end of Halo 3 but given his plentiful time spent in cryostasis, he's physically much younger. I'd say early to mid thirties.

Btw, do you honestly think bonus Firefight voices reflect canon ?

Herp, bypass other posts. Derp, regurgitate everybody else.

How can Chief get lung cancer when Johnson is ALWAYS smoking his never-ending-cigar?

  • 06.27.2011 9:28 PM PDT

All the augmentations and stuff...he probably looks closer to 30.

PLus he's spent plenty of time in cryo. Aging virtually comes to a stop in cryo.

The only thing that really seems to match chiefs age is his voice...

Physically, by Halo 4 I'd estimate he's around his late to mid 30's.

Forgive me for saying so, but even with augmentations I would find it hard to jump in armor that weighs a ton.


its power armour it moves for him and its linked directly to his brain so its like his own skin

Try THIS on Legendary!

Hmmm... I have a theory. I remember in the book "The Flood" an infection form had climbed up Johns back while his shields and tried to infect him. Not only did it hurt like hell but it probably messed up his body a little. Ya know?

People got bored of the Reach forums so decided to attack BU instead.

Okay, Sgt. Johnson was like 60 something in Halo 1, 2, and 3!
I'm sure Chief could kick ass well into his 80's.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.” – Psalms 46:1-3

Hey guys.

I recently bought the Master Chief firefight voice in Reach and I kept noticing something. Occasionally while playing firefight the Chief would make a grunting noise when he jumped or something of that nature. He also would randomly cough and hack through some of the battles.

Theoretically he's around his late 30's (correct me if I'm wrong) around the events of Halo 3. This means he will be even older in Halo 4. I was just thinking why Bungie had added those little grunts and coughs in the firefight voice.

Maybe they were hinting at something for the next game? Some of the Bungie members did go to 343i, so they would know about it.

Anyway this is just something I noticed. It could easily mean nothing. Comment or speculate.


If I am not mistaken actual age chief is around 50 years old, however do to Cryo he is likely more around 25-30

Impossible isn't a fact its an opinion

John-117 if i remember correctly is around mid 40s but he wont look it or have aged in any way like a 40 year old because of the amount of time spent in cryo sleep..


Plus steve downs the guy that voices Chief is in his 50s i think..

Reach is a prequel, so it's impossible for Chief to be "older" in Reach's firefight since its set in Reach's timeline. They just added more noises to him, because, you know, you paid 200,000 Cr for his voice - you should at least hear him.

Oh and Chief was around 42 in Halo: CE, but due to the time he spent in cryo (you don't age in cryo), he's more like 30
