I've been reading all these topics about Halo3 and in all posts there are some guy called "Masterchief", who is that?
Im from Sweden and in our version of Halo2 you played as a spartan called "Linda"?
So can someone please tell me who he is!
If this is a joke very funny if your serious what in the name of hell are you doing here to fill you in John, Spartan-117 (alternatively known by his rank, Master Chief; to the Covenant, as the Demon) is a fictional character featured in the video games Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, and the novels Halo: The Fall of Reach, Halo: The Flood, and Halo: First Strike.
Although his official military designation is SPARTAN-117, he is most often referred to simply as the "Master Chief" or "Chief", short for his rank of Master Chief Petty Officer. The traditional rank of Master Chief is a purely administrative position, but the protagonist of Halo is more like an action hero.
The Master Chief is a Spartan II Super Soldier, a genetically and cybernetically augmented warrior designed to put down rebels and insurgents within the United Nations Space Command. When the powerful alien empire known as the Covenant attacked, the Master Chief and the other Spartan II's had a priority shift. Extensive surgical alteration coupled with a ruthless lifelong training regimen has resulted in Master Chief being significantly stronger than even the strongest natural human, and his strength and fighting ability are further augmented by the advanced MJOLNIR power armor he wears.
According to Bungie Studios, The Master Chief stands 7' tall and weighs approximately 1,000 pounds in full battle armor. He is approximately forty-one years old at the time of the events of Halo: Combat Evolved (2552). Between Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, the Chief's armor is upgraded from MJOLNIR Mark V to Mark VI. Both iterations of the armor include a helmet with reflective visor so the face of the Chief is never seen: in spite he is seen removing his helmet once in each game, the camera view always conceals the Master Chief's face from the viewers.
