"No, he already screwed up when he allowed it to be remade in the first place"
Do you even know wtf you are talking about? The Gravemind was around for 100,000 years prior on Installation 05, so he did not allow it to reform.
No dumbass I meant the Halo.
"not to mention all of his actions in Halo 1 were in vain, as he ended up firing the darn thing anyway,"

So what your saying is that taking out a Covenant Fleet, a Planet-ring full of Flood, and stopping the Covenant/Spark from activating the ring was all nothing?
Master Chief never once destroyed an entire Covenant Fleet by himself. And I didn't say all nothing, I said in vain, because, in the end, everything he does in CE was to stop Halo from being activated. What does he do in Halo 3? He activates it, the very same ring, in fact.

"anyway, and the Flood got to Earth"
Because the Flood got aboard High Charity and hijacked the surrounding ships. One ship got past the Covenant quarantine and made it to Earth. So what does that have to do with Chief?
He failed in his mission to get aboard High Charity and capture a Prophet, not only this, but he couldn't do so before it got to Earth full of Flood. So... fail on his part, double fail actually.

"resulting in the glassing of an entire continent "
Just Voi and the surrounding area. The "glassed half a continent" quote is Hyperbole.
Oh, triple fail, my bad.

"Humanity is now on the brink of extinction..."
The war is over and the Elites are not fighting them. They still have a few other planets aswell. They are far from extinction.
At the end of Halo 3 it is stated that 23 billion people lost their lives, and my source for that is Halo: Evolutions, "Palace Hotel", page 351. I guess we can constitute that an epic fail.
