Subject: Is Chief the best Spartan

Hey B net,
I'm not huge on the whole halo cannon, but could someone please answer a question I have about Spartans. I understand that chief is a very powerful, lucky spartan with a lot of training, but is he the best spartan so far as lore goes. Thanks

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Halsey and Cortana consider him to be the bravest and luckiest of all Spartans, thus making him the best.

I dont know, I would probably have to say in proper technique and such Fred.

He was certainly one of the best, but maybe not the best?

Swag punks, fu­­ck off!

Yes he is.

Yes, there're too many numbers in my name.

He had something the others didn't. Can you guess?

Luck.

Yup, because Cortana didn't help him at all in the slightest.

You just did.

But let's look at what she did, shall we?

1. Enchanced Chief's reflexes.
2. Found Halo.
3. Stopped Chief from activating the Halo.
4. Saving Chief from getting infected by the Flood.
5. Telling Chief how to destroy the Autumn.
6. Telling Chief that there was a Longsword in the hanger.

Shall I go on?

Best Spartan in what sense?

Best Team leader? Yes.

Best Lone Wolf? No. Linda takes that prize.

Smartest Spartan? No. He had some trouble with math in FoR (Trying to calculate the rate of the pin dropping before owning that ODST group.)

Luckiest Spartan? Yes.

7. Helped Chief navigate the Halo wreakage to retrieve Linda's cryo pod.
8. Helped take control of the Ascendant Justice.
9. Killed numerous Elite hunter-killer teams by venting the atmosphere on the AJ's compartments.
10. Overloaded the generators of the Unyielding Hierophant.
11. Defused the bomb on Cairo Station.
12. Kept the path to Truth's ship stable so Chief could get on.
13. Used the Index to blow up the replacement Halo.
14. Monitored Chief while he was in cryo.

And that's just Cortana.

Turns out we didn't even need Master Chief. Cortana just needed a physical body and the galaxy would have been fine.

I think almost any Spartan could have done the same role Chief went through if they had Cortana. Kelly would have been more effective in my opinion due to her sheer speed.

  • 11.11.2011 9:35 PM PDT

I want to say yes.

It's kind of random not to have him be the best, given we actively play as him, hm?

At any rate, he certainly is, or will be the best post-Halo 3.

I wanna be the very best. Like No one ever was...!

And yet we still have 4, 5, and 6 to go through.

Well by then CHief will probably have the help of the Forerunners.

Umm, he calculated the rate the pin dropped, and that was without a calculator and he was only 14.

I would say he is the best OVERALL. He isn't the fastest, strongest, smartest, or best aim, but he has the best combination of them.

lol, even better. Make an invincible robot body that cannot be stopped by anything, and what is probably the smartest AI in Humanity's arsenal control it.

Face it, Chief is one of the best, but you give him too much credit. Try reading some of the books.

You weren't talking to me right? Because I have read every Halo book and comic.
