In my opinion Master Chief is better than anyone on Noble Team in a 1 vs 1. Master Chief is vastly more experienced then any S-III and if I can remember correctly it is mentioned that he participated in more military engagements then any other S-II.
Noble Six may be hyper-lethal but I have no clue how people think he has a kill count even close to the Chief. And even if he did his missions seemed mostly to be taking out Insurrectionists and being Ackerson's grim reaper, giving me the impression his fights really were not on the level of the S-IIs or even the headhunters.

Because gameplay AI totally describes how the characters truly act right? Wrong.
See, the problem with people saying gameplay doesn't count is that we then have only cutscenes and scripted event to judge entire characters from. This presents a problem not only with Noble, but with every character you've ever played as or with. Suddenly every action performed outside of cutscenes didn't really happen. So unless you want to severely reduce the canon, gameplay does count.
Events are canon, but gameplay elements are not. Such as in one room you might face a single elite minor on easy, but 5 zealots in legendary.
Likewise, saying all marines are absolutely -blam!- drivers because their AI is less then stellar, Jun's a retarded sniper who can't hit a cruiser parked infront of him, and Emile shotgun snipes all the time is foolish.
Hence, "gameplay AI". When somebody says "gameplay doesn't count.", I believe it usually means "You cannot state for a fact Chief fought 5 elite zealots in the room due to the fact it changes on difficulty."
I would just like to bring up how there are some pieces of gameplay that do seem to be canon, such as how Noble Six runs slower and jumps lower than the Chief.
In all honesty Noble Team did not impress me as much as the S-III in Ghosts of Onyx, in particular Tom and Lucy, who I would put on the same level with Blue Team in their younger years.
Noble Six is faster than Chief in Halo CE, and can actually bump a vehicle or fall more than two meters without dying unlike Chief in CE.
The only reason that John is faster than Six in 2 and 3 is because of the Mark VI armor that he gets, and even then, it's not much of a difference.
