Just subtract the John's current year by the year of his birth. Read the books on when he was born because I'm too lazy to Google it.

I'm thinking 40-50.

As of August 17, 2517, John 117 is 6 years old. Witch means he was probably born in 2511. Halo 2 takes place in October, 2552. Since, as of September, John was still 6, we should assume his birthday is after the events of halo 2. Subtracting 2517 from 2552, we get 35. adding 6 to that, we get 41.


Master Chief is either 41 or 42.

Master Chief is in his early 40's right now.

Now that you bring the topic up, i wonder, if hes going to die by age, or in battle...

Oh come on guys. My father is in his fifties and he's still a very strong man. I have no doubt the Chief will be just as, if not more, capable of defeating the Covenant at an older age.

You can't imagine him at all because you've never seen his face. If he's going to be so old as to use a walker I don't think he's going to wear the suit. So of course no one can imagine what he looks like.

and, please note that humans tend to live longer as time goes along, as we keep getting more medically advanced, so, in John's time, he could be, for us in his 20s or early 30s age-wise(yes i know he's 41 or 42 legally, i'm just comparing to our current time) of course, in the books, when they refer to officers and such, it makes it seem it isn't much better then the current time...though that just may be me

Yeah, you're right. So humans in 2552 could grow up to be, I don't know, 150? Maybe even 200. I mean, look how long we extended life expectancy in one and a half centuries, now.

Ya, you also have to factor in his suit which probably keeps all dangerous bacteria and germans outside his body. He probably never gets sick, plus his body enhances to strength,bones,muscles and reflexes, who knows he could probably live past 200.

hahahah, ya add a supershield to the wheelchair along with a jet rocket to the back, take out the rocket laucher, add a cannon to the front wheelchair above his head, add in booster below the wheelchair, add optional detatchment under teh wheelchair for optional carrier attachemnt like a pelican for a squad of marines then hes like a freaken tank+pelican+fighter all in one. :)

But how about we let MC decide how he wants to pimp out his wheelchair.
