5-7 years 30 years? which is it? i thought they had been fighting for a long time too. How old is master chief now? 40 something? Dr. Halsey took hime since he was really young, my guess is that they were fighting the covenent even way back then, right? I think it has to be something like 100 years. Does anyone know roughly how long?

117 was firstly trained to fight against rebels an such, not covenant, Mc had 16 years (more or less ... maybe even 20) when covies started the war

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

so wait, they made master chief to battle the rebels? that doesnt make sense why such a strong force for something like handling other humans?

i don't think that's what he was made for. i think that was just the first appliction the spartans were used for. like a dry run or field test. that sort of thing.
