Something mentioned in the Halo novels is that John would have been an incredible human even without military training or augmentations. Dr Halsey saw it when she first met him, he mopped the playground with his classmates winning easily and smiling while doing it, stood a head taller than the rest of them, was just plain intelligent and mature for a 6 year old. He was just something else entirely, though 100% human

I still can't believe people think Arbiter could take Chief, his strength is near on par with his, not to mention Spartan speed is said to move faster than eyes can track. My favorite moment of Chief was when Locke broke his visor and he stood up slowly more pissed off than hurt

In my theory the Master chief is just *BUILT* *DIFFERENT*

Also John received the Librarians Blessing…basically it was planned that John 117 be the best. He’s basically a Demi-God lol like Achilles.

The intro level to Halo 2 with the bomb sequence is one of , if not the best intro level in gaming history.

As far as I remember Master Chief has the genetic spark of an ancient soldier who fought against the flood and Forerunners.

He's a pretty cool guy. eh killz aliens and doesn't afraid of anything.

You keep referring to the chief as “part of the army” Just a reminder, he was navy personnel

Sgt Johnson was a Spartan 1 so of course he is on the top of the list. As well as Buck in Halo Five as a Spartan 4

Spartan B-312 aka Noble 6 almost the same as master chief but weaker

01:28 This is the in Halo universe equivalent of getting all Dark Souls II achievements except for the one "This is Dark Souls" achievement! Which involves you dying in Dark Souls II

What's interesting to me is how (many youtube commenters as well) Cortana herself in the intro scene to halo 3 that John has alot of luck. More than most, as you can notice if you actually play from 1-3. You can see this as well in Fall of Reach during the coin flip, now that had more to do with John neurologically but, is also a classic metaphor, and you have to pay attention that it was done theatrically. Now not to say others haven't sacrificed for John, or that the fact that he's always had a way out or next step hasn't made sense contextually, but let's realize this as well. Does anyone else deserve this luck? Could anyone else withstand and make use of it? John suffers from his luck, almost being made to keep walking, I even believe there were some scenes ala Crysis 3 where he was basically battered underneath the suit. This speaks to the halo 4 interaction John had with that (forerunner lady? It's been years since I played 4) being who told him that everything in the universe had led him to that point on purpose, that he was a critical cog in the machine of cosmic life on a grand scale, which also speaks to his bleakness and inability to relate to others, while circumstantial (and due to PTSD), John as a fundamental being seems to be made to be stronger than others in every way and always in the right place in the right time, in a way he is the chosen one, in a much more true sense though John is cursed to his mantle. What else can we say about a man who watches everyone he meets die and has to ford alone through Halos, alien planets, destroyed human civilizations and the cold expanse of space? He just IS the best and he doesn't have a choice because he is cursed. Spartans were a whole society but in their time HE alone is known as THE Spartan, he sets the standard for the crystalline metal armor bearers because not a single other person could stand up to it.

Also the man fought endless hordes of smart zombies and went into a grave mines home and came back out

Great video👌🏼 I may also add, spartan 2's were so special and effective because they were taken at started training at such a young age, modeling the original Greek Spartans of ancient times, groomed for war almost since birth. Their strengrh was in their mind and their mental conditioning I think as well

the one question ive always wondered about was that were the spartan 1's more affective than 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7's?

Simply the fact he made my childhood.

this was a well made video ALSO spartan Locke was a spartan 4 and was a pile of s*** compared to the weakest spartan 2

Master Chief was taken prisoner by the Gravemind, he should have received the POW medal as well. Master Chief was an average Spartan II Supersoldier, Kelly was faster and Fredrick had better hand to hand combat skills. Even Cortana states the Master Chief wasn't the biggest or strongest, HE BASICALLY HAD LUCK!!!

I say Noble Six even though they don't have much lore and was a vessel only for the player, if they were still alive I feel they would make more of a story for Six.

It’s crazy cuz 1 suit cost as much as a UNSC Frigate 💀 JUST THE SUIT!!! Johns valuation, dude probably cost more than the Infinity 😂

I hope your channel grows, you definitely deserve it 👍

I have a fanfic character who is a prespartan that is a individual who was augmented before the spartan ones and two were created with various different augmentations when compared to the spartan twos many to the same effect. However, these augmentations were far more numerous, and far more effective compared to the normal spartan two augmentations. In total these augmentations resulted in a massive 10'7 human weighing in at over 1000lbs being capable of sprinting at a speed of roughly 120mph for upwards of an hour with a bench press over 3000lbs and a dead lift of over 7000lbs. This utter beast of a human being had basically every kind of augmentation you could think of making him practically unstoppable when it came to pure physicality though he was not much of a leader, and was much harder to control than the spartan soldiers because he wasn't indoctrinated from a young age.

Master chief is classified as hyper lethal

Master Chiefs Augmentation from The Spartan II Program is similar to that Of Geralts Trial of the Grasses both are enhanced individuals

He has Plot armor that is all.

One word: stoicism

Great video thank you!! 🔥

John, the only one that can deny his chip to an officer and walk away like nothing.

I subscribe to the theory that Master Chief is the culmination of scattered gene song that was the Iso-Didact, bornstellar-makes-eternal-lasting. The child of the forerunner who build the halo ring, and was the one who ultimately fired it. Bornstellar was unique because he was imprinted with the Ur-Didact's knowledge and personality. Making him like clone of the Ur-Didact, the once supreme commander of the Forerunner army. in Halo 4, the mission reclaimer, the Librarian told master chief: "Reclaimer, when I indexed mankind for repopulation, I hid seeds from the Didact. Seeds which would lead to an eventuality. Your physical evolution. Your combat skin. Even your ancilla, Cortana. You are the culmination of a thousand lifetimes of planning." now as to why the seed is the Iso-Didact, it's all explained by 343 Guilty Spark. Spark was the Iso-didact's friend before and after being converted from a proto-human into a monitor. his quotes at the start of two betrayals hint at it. "last time you asked me, if it were my choice, would I do it?" last time basically means the last time the iso-didact fired the ring. Sparks recognize Master Chief's combination of geas as the same one as his old friend, that's why he acted like they've met before and that's why he called chief a forerunner at the end of halo 3. Humanity isn't Forerunner, but Chief is a Forerunner in genetic. He's the reincarnated Supreme Commander of the Forerunner.

i honestly think the master chief was so amazing because of pure luck lol, he survived a surgery that ended so many peoples lives and also survived crashing into the halo in CE while everyone else died. if there was any, and I mean *ANY* at all video game characters that I know that could take on master chief is The Arbiter and Tommy Vercetti. Honestly don't know why i compare a mafia boss from 1986 to a super soldier in the 2500's

No video out there can capture why he is so great

depending on what you consider cannon the pow medal is something he should receive cause I believe it was in the book Ghosts Of Onyx he was captured for a short time and then rescued.

I can tell you without even watching. You see what made him special is his hatred for covenants. You see at first the spartan 2 program was ment to help with insurgents but when the covenant showed No one was prepared. So what they did was they brought the spartan 2s to a lab where the suits were now ill tell you he has grudge. After equipping the suits (the suits would kill a normal human but since they enhanced it did better with them) they practiced first before getting called up. After getting called Dr Halsey asked which team would like to try and take them (heads up they didn't know the force or the strength at this moment) and blue team volunteered. As most of us know that blue team in halo 5 is 4 members well guess what that's false blue team consisted of 5 members. After blue team managed to get on the ship they took a few covenant and seal them off. That's the bad part before they sealed them off a jackel managed to hit one of members and breached his suit meaning he couldn't go back out to space so he stayed behind the got nuked from the inside killing the one member and the ship. The member that died hit 117 mentaly causing him to go silent and speak only a little bit. When Halsey gave cortana to him and spent more time with he began to talk more specifically to her. In halo 5 her rampantsy betrayal ended up hurting severely mentally which caused his condition go worse. The reason why he's so special not because of some stupid reason it's because he made a promise and is severely pissed off causing him to be hyper lethal. He's like John wick except he can fly through space crash land from space to a plant get glassed gets attacked by flood covenants and forerunners and survives all of it

I like the character Master Chief but I love the Voice Actor *Steve* more. Did you see what they did in Halo Paramount TV Series (I know we don't talk about it). The Halo ODST trailer ah it were like that...

The librarian made him a failsafe

Why is he so special? Us: causes we "need" him

Spartan III's were orphans picked of the street and rushed through basic training. They were only given refined chemical enhancements, not invasive surgery like the II's were given. The IV's were ODST and some handpicked marines that were given the chemical enhancements and something else. They didn't have invasive surgery, but most of their internals were replaced with enhanced cloned versions. Don't know for certain, but some say fire team osirus was spartan IV's, others like myself think they were a test run for the spartan V class. I know that buck was an ODST, and Locke is an ONI agent, but the master chief will always rain supreme. (Until some demented fool thinks it's a good idea to start training 2 year olds.)

This video was Pretty good

If steve rogers was in the spartan 3 program the surgery part could he survive it with his will power or no

Good video, but wasn’t master chief captured many times? Chief always found a way out tho.

His childhood is LITERALLY Enders Game, the book 🤦‍♂️ 😂

Main things are that he's stoic, has imposing character design/armor, has an intense voice, and lastly, that you never see his face. I never want them to show his face again but they will I'm sure one day

Curious, difference between chief and noble six

Did you get this information from the movie "Halo: The Fall of Reach?" In my opinion. The story of 117 and the 1st class of Spartans is incredible.

"Noone better" Doomguy: Haha, Anyway

I think what makes master chief the best is him self other than that is just a plus no matter how great the science or tech its still depends on the person who have it or wears it to be the best...

Jokes on you , he's important because he has the triforce of courage

most people when they think of the top spartans consider it chief then noble 6

3:27 My man is true that Spartan 4 hasn't as much augmentation as Spartan 2 however, at the moment of the start of the Spartan 4 program many of the procedures made in the spartan 2 program were perfected in the Spartan 3 program (Noble 6 was a spartan 3) and made much safer for the spartan 4 program to exists, so actually the Spartan 4 are subjected to many of the same basic augmentation surgeries that the Spartan 2 program had except the most risky and unnecessary ones, because the new spartan exo-armors compensate with better Human-machine Interface and being most advanced and powerfull exosuits in general, obviously old spartans benefited too for these technology improvements, but in theory Locke should me much more deadlier and strong that master chief was during Halo CE, this is why also in Halo CE master chief has to be careful with heights while in Halo Infinite is jumping hercules, because his armor is much better than before and it has so many sensor and sensory improvements that the weapon can use them to even "smell" the flower while in Master Chief's armor. So yeah chief is a superior Spartan and Spartans II in general are superior, but as the technology to create Spartans has improved The UNSC can make good super soldier with much less risk (because in fact the procedures of the Spartan IV program are in fact dangerous too, but not as dangerous as the old procedures) also all the Spartan IV are from ODST and other elite combat and intelligence units from the UNSC and the ONI, so all the spartan IV are elite soldiers with years of training and real combat experience, which is much more humane than use child soldiers, but it is another discussion.

Don't froget about spartan-3s from Halo Reach

Its because John is built different

Master chief is so underrated, is so op

Master Chief evolved into Optimus Prime.

honestly i want to know about the spartan 1's

I dont get master cheif like surely there is something halsey did that she isnt saying anything about because like he is the spartan to her he is the be all end all the most important thing in the world to her but why I dont get it

Chief here,

He is the best in what is left of the program but wasn't the best ever in the program. He was just lucky

I think you are misinterpreting the lore a little bit, John is the most accomplished Spartan, NOT the most capable. The two things that really make him special are him being a natural leader among the SIIs and his ability to passively manipulate probability in his favor. Fred 104 is probably statistically the most capable Spartan as the lore says he is second best at every thing that makes a Spartan. I think that John was just unfortunate to have to operate by himself in the situations that he had to deal with, while Spartans like Fred have always had a team around them. I think that every other SII would have been just as effective or even better if they had been the ones present by themselves during Installation 04 campaign, because A SPARTAN II IS A SPARTAN II. I personally love the idea that John is not the most capable, and the creators of the Halo Universe could have easily decide to say he is the best of them in terms of capability but the wisely didn't. John has done his best and came through clutch for humanity on many occasions and that's what really makes him special.

halo 3: cortana says that what brought John 117 at as the best of the best, his luck.

IF Sam -034 didnt die for Reach, I think he would be on par if not better than Chief.

How can you get body enhancement and become a cripple? I understand dieing but cripple?

So Spartans are space witchers?

The pow medal is false cause he was captured by the insurrection with most of his team but was rescued not 30mins later roughly. It was in the book ghost of onyx it was a flashback from Kurt

DOOMSLAYER/DOOMGUY.

Because im just good

Technically, the Gravemind took Chief Prisoner.

noble team

Luck. That’s literally It.

Noble 6 is the same rank

UNSC Army? Chief was in the Navy.

Noble 6

Noble 6 deserves this lol

its because he kills aliens and doesent afraid of anything

noble 6

The reason why 117 was so special is because he was YOU. The player

Same I escape detention and not getting caught cheating in class, he ain't special

117

Believe it or not, Master Chief wasn't the number one best in any of the UNSC physical feats amongst his pairs, he was second best in everything. But what would you rather? best in one thing or be the second best in everything plus with luck. Master Chief is the Greatest well rounded Soldier in the history of the Halo universe. He wasn't the fastest, he wasn't the strongest, he wasn't the best shooter, he wasn't the best technical thinker, he wasn't the best fighter, he wasn't the physical toughest, he didn't have the most stamina, he wasn't the highest jumper, in all these attributes he was the second best in all.

343 Industries tried to replace Master Chief as the main protagonist with Spartan Locke and failed miserably. Thank God!

Chief is just the best soldier of every breed. Anyway no one will see his face its better that way who agrees

Still can't tell me the fight between chief and locke fight was what it should have been considering the experience and training alongside biological differences

Master chief has never been more awesome .and fun to control in gameplay.like.halo.infinte is not even close that grappling hook is crazy wish the story matched how good the gameplay is but uno what with good gameplay you can over look the story being weak but in my opinion a game with a good story but garbage gameplay always fails completely

Hmm

No He's chosen And has skill And has luck Cortana saw this Most importantly he has Luck. a purpose that cannot be stopped

Why was Master Chief special? As Cortana would say... Luck.

aMONGst

He CLEARLY wasn't the best Soldier in the program. Cortana literally said that in Halo 2. He was the most lucky but not the best.

And they tried to betray him

*One lucky boi*

Is it wrong that I ship Master Chief with Samus? I mean, both are genetically enhanced humans with tragic pasts and both of them are total intergalactic badasses.

This video is wrong as a whole. He was never the best. But he was a naturally born leader, he was great at strategic problem solving, and the luckiest one, which is why Cortana chose him. He was also the jack of all traits. But he was never the best at anything.

jesus christ please write scripts

You couldn't even edit out your stuttering? C'mon man.

Linda finna drop chief in a gunfight and I think she deserves the hyper lethal status

How can you get body enhancement and become a cripple? I understand dieing but cripple?

Noble 6
