He didn't save the universe.
...Um, what? What do you call the whole first Halo Trilogy then? That's one of the whole points of Halos CE-3, saving the universe and humanity.

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,"
And how is letting 04(b) get made when no one even knew that Halo's could be remade screwing up? And no, none of Chief's actions in CE were in vain, the whole point of destroying Installation 04 was mainly to keep the Flood from spreading, firing it at the end of Halo 3 does not make destroying it a vain action, the whole reason he did fire it was because they were beyond the range of the rest of the Milky Way. It would not have been fired if there was any chance of doing so eliminating all life in the galaxy again.
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.
Um, hello, the end of CE? There were plenty of ships that got destroyed as a result of Chief blowing up the Autumn. If the detonation of the NOVA bomb above Joyous Exaltation counts as kills for Whitcomb then the detonation of Alpha Halo destroying a great deal of the Fleet of Particular Justice counts as kills for 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.
I'm really not getting any of what you're saying, it sounds like you're just trying to find excuses to complain about John :/
If you're referring to RED FLAG, that failing is not Chief or any other Spartans' responsibility, the UNSC High Command are the ones who called that off. And if you are referring to the mission aboard High Charity in Halo 2, he didn't have any say in whether he was sent there or not, he was sent by the Gravemind to recover the Index, and even then the Gravemind didn't know whether it was there or at the Control Room already. And when was his goal ever stated to be stopping High Charity from leaving Delta Halo after the Flood hijacked it? And how is it getting to Earth a fail on Chief's part? The Elites were the ones who slipped up there.
Oh, triple fail, my bad.
Again...um?
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.
And there are at least several billion people still left, I'd hardly call that on the brink of extinction considering we only number at about 6 billion people now. And why the hell are you ascribing everything to Chief? One man can only do so much, and only so much at one time. He is not a physical god that can be everywhere at once and do everything at once...at least he's not yet anyway.
