Well if we're comparing track records:
-Blew up Installation 04 You mean overloaded the PoA reactor's and caused it to tear itself apart.
-Defeated the Galactic super threat known as the Flood, twice You mean once. Second time goes to Cortana (see below)
-Defeated the Covenant Elites get this credit. Thel gets credit for killing Truth, and thus defeating the Covenant
-Survived Reach Chief didn't take place on the ground battle of Reach, therefore this point is null
-Killed the Gravemind Did he? See below. Cortana gets credit
-Blew up High Charity It was already heavily damaged.
-Blew up Installation 04, again He didn't even have anything to do with this. Cortana Activated Halo, it ripped itself apart.
-Did severe damage to the Ark And what does this matter? Credit goes to Cortana anyway
-Survived the Flood outbreaks With trouble. Much less impressive when a marine sergeant survived through most of the library by himself
-Has killed multiple high ranking Covenant military officers So have others.
-Has killed a high ranking prophet Only because reinforcements were denied to Regret. So in a sense, Truth gets some credit.
-Has jumped from a Forerunner ship re-entering atmosphere, and lived. And got KOed and was thought to be dead. Not really a thing to boast about.
-Has a considerably high amount of combat experience against humans, aliens, parasites, and killer insane AI. And...? "Killer insane AI" Haha. He hardly went toe to toe with 343(directly). I don't see how that one came around. Regardless, this one doesn't truly count if we are going off them at time of Battle of Reach eh?
And that's just John.
Note bolded replies.
-That's technically blowing up I-04, with a creative twist.
-He survived all the onslaughts of oncoming Flood where millions of human and Covenant alike could not. Also, see below.
-Chief killed Regret, who was in command of the entire fleet that came to Earth to kill everything in the sector if needed.
-Not true, the Orbital Mission was considered to be much more difficult and of higher importance. Kelly and Fred both tried to volunteer so they could get John's respect for picking the higher risk.
-Don't forget he pretty much did it alone.
-And how else would Cortana have done that, if Chief wasn't there to get her there?
-See above.
-If I recall correctly, that was Nolan Byrne. Sergeant Johnson's old parter back then they were experimental Spartan I's. He was a tough mother-blam!-, just like Johnson. Just bigger, much stronger, even a bit quicker. Give him augmentations and a MJOLNIR suit and he probably would've been at the top of the Spartan class.
-Nonetheless, he still did.
-Don't forget they tried to -blam!- GLASS him right afterwards. He dove into the ocean that HELD the GRAVEMIND and made it out safe. He also found the location of the Sacred Icon.
-Are you kidding??? You try jumping from several kilometers up high, using only a sheet of metal to block the heat and live, then only get KO'd and say "it was nothing." That's quite an achievement.
-That AI killed Sergeant Johnson and nearly wiped out all sentient life in the Galaxy. That guy was dangerous. He pretty much went toe-to-toe with him, considering the BLASTED HIS FACE WITH A SPARTAN LASER AFTER BEING HIT BY 343's MELTING FACE LASER AND SHRUGGING IT OFF. And I don't recall reading anywhere that this battle is meeting at the time of the Fall of Reach. Kind of like how they bring people back from different timelines in Deadliest Warrior (horrible show BTW). This is a scenario, where they both meet at a place away from where they fought.
