390
390 POUNDS!? Bullshit. Somebody edit this. I would edit it myself, but I fear the edit would be unmade. -Kluutak 19:20, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

PS: CHanged it to 250, seems like a regular weight. If some spammer reverts it to 390 I will rever it back and contact the admins. You have been warned.


 * 250 pounds? Seems like a regular weight? By god, if you don't know the weight, don't put it in! UNSC Las Vegas [[Image:Mac.jpg|50px]] Orders/Parking tickets/The letters from the Admiral, regarding regarding the Admiral's DaughterMaintenance Records/Insurance details
 * I think he is talking about average SPARTAN weight for SPARTAN Super Soldiers. Due to their ceramic ossification implants, it is likely they are about 70 pounds heavier than an average Human. Three-hundred-ninety is a little much though, that is more than a Sangheili, which have overall more strength and body mass than a SPARTAN.
 * SPARTAN-IIs weigh quite heavy because of their augmentations, as stated above. 250 lbs is actually quite a regular weight for a Spartan.Rollersox 02:44, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * In The Fall of Reach, John's canonical unarmored weight is stated.
 * "It was hard to mistake the Master Chief for anything other than a Spartan. He stood just over two meters tall and weighed in at 130 kilos of rock-hard muscle and iron-dense bone." - Halo: The Fall of Reach, page 217 (in my edition, anyway)
 * This translates to roughly 286 lbs. Spartans are big, yo. I'll cite it and put it on the page. Zita 21:53, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * He doesn't...look...285 pounds. Hell, Carter is bigger than him and he's only 250. It is possible this was a typo -- however I guess it stays until the author says otherwise. He has a really thin waist though, he looks really skinny, like 240. --Kluutak 19:44, 24 November 2010 (EST)

Upgrade
When did he get Mk VI armor. In the books I own, it never states when. It seems like he should've just had Mk V armor through all the games. - Echoes High Resolution Poor Quality 20:40, July 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * He got it in Halo 2, which is after his appearances in the books. You should play the games as well to get an accurate view on the storyline.--  Fore  run  ner  20:43, July 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * He can't have Mk V, it's an old version and things change so it would be dangerous to where a helmet that they no longer support. It doesn't function as well as the latest version.RvBrocks1 18:26, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

I know he got it in Halo 2, but it never states when. It makes a spiratic change from Mk V to VI. - Cprl. Echo 1 High Resolution Poor Quality 18:03, July 20, 2010 (UTC) PS: how do you get the Mk V helmet in Halo 3?


 * 20 October 2552. It outright tells you on the FIRST LEVEL what day it is.-- Forerunner 18:29, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Promotion?
Is there any information on when he was promoted the Master Chief? VadersFist666 04:24, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * All we know is that he was definitely an MCPO by 2544, during the events of The Package. Nothing has ever stated exactly when his promotion to Master Chief occured, however. --&quot;Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have.&quot; -Thomas Jefferson 04:30, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * thanks VadersFist666 04:34, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * He was also referred to as "Master Chief" on page 8 of The Fall of Reach (at least the original version), during the Battle of Jericho VII, which means he held the rank of Master Chief in 2535. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 05:49, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

New Screenshot and Headquote
Yes? No? I think its been getting kind of old, and is relatively out of place as opposed to the rest of the pages. I personally think the page needs a quote by the Master Chief himself. Discuss. --Kluutak 13:39, September 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think both the headquote and the infobox image (is this what you mean?) are the ideal ones for this article. --Odysseas-Spartan 53  13:47, September 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * No apparent reason to change either, actually. The Master Chief doesn't speak any quotes of significance anyway. - JEA13  [ iTalk  ] 13:55, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

Personality Changes from Game to Game
I think there needs to be some description of how his personality is by game, for example, in Halo: Combat Evolved he's kind of a joker, but still serious about getting the job done, in Halo 2, he is even more serious and has even less of a sense of humor, whereas in Halo 3 he is completely serious and somewhat distraught, has a very "we've got a job to do here, quit screwing around" non-nonsense kind of attitude, sort of like Carter only less talkative. --Kluutak 09:44, 19 November 2010 (EST)


 * It's the atmosphere of the games itself that makes him behave that way. Also, that's what you think of his personality and might not reflect what others think. Throughout the Trilogy, his personality has remained somewhat consistent, and changes based on the gravity of the situation.-  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 10:45, 19 November 2010 (EST)


 * Well realistically after all he's gone through surely he would've undergone some sort of psychological change after being separated from Cortana, watching his friends (family really) die before his own eyes, I'm sure he is somewhat damaged from it, I mean he doesn't show it but I'm sure the psychological damage is there. I'm not to sure he particularly likes his job either, or what he is. Not that I'd put this in the article or anything, but I'm just being realistic here --Kluutak 17:46, 20 November 2010 (EST)


 * Not really. He would be able to cope with the losses after 27 years of actively serving as a SPARTAN soldier. He seems to be able to easily suppress those sadness/anger whenever he gets up close and personal with the Covenant, and it doesn't seem that he has stopped joking around and making friendly remarks (i.e. after the massive loss of Reach, John can still joke around with Cortana on Alpha Halo about her driving). It's consistent behaviour that he is able to cope with the loss... he's cool. ;) -  5 əb'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 18:48, 20 November 2010 (EST)


 * Yeah I guess you're right, I guess thats why I like him so much, he's probably the friendliest character (to humans), I'd rather hang with him than a bunch of a**hole rowdy ODST that's for sure, lol. --Kluutak 09:08, 22 November 2010 (EST)

Birth date
Where did the July 7th date come from? To my knowledge, his date of birth has never been revealed anywhere. --<font color="MidnightBlue">Jugus (<font color="Gray">Talk  | <font color="Gray">Contribs ) 13:43, 22 November 2010 (EST)


 * That was my bad, there was some misinformation on b.net, somebody mistook bungie day as John's birthday, a friend of mine. Won't happen again. --Kluutak 15:14, 23 November 2010 (EST)

Transcript
Many levels in the Halo trilogy had John-117 named "Master Chief". Shouldn't we change it to John-117, as we didnt use "Chief Warrant Officer" with Jorge? — S331 Talk • Contributions 01:55, 14 April 2011 (EDT)
 * Go right ahead. --<font color="MidnightBlue">Jugus (<font color="Gray">Talk  | <font color="Gray">Contribs ) 06:46, 14 April 2011 (EDT)

Degree of humanity left...
What would you say the degree of humanity in his personality is? Would you say he has more of his humanity left than most of the other SPARTANS, or less...? Also, would you say the war might have changed him psychologically? It seems he is nearing the end of his sanity (just like Cortana) by the last two levels of Halo 3, but this is just a personal observation. --Kluutak 20:44, 11 May 2011 (EDT)
 * Personally i think hes become more war hardened and has lost his humanity --<font face="century gothic"><font color="Purple"><font color="#666666">Lol @<font color="#666666">Phailure  21:07, 11 May 2011 (EDT)
