When is this said by Dr. Catherine Halsey and Cortana are the only ones who call John by his actual name, Cortana having done this at the end of Halo 3. When done Coratana use his name? The Hero700 23:38, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Hey how come we can't edit this article?

Something I added
A while ago, you might not have noticed, I added "Covenant Separatists" to his Affiliations / Teams part of the info box. Is that really correct, or is Covie Separatists just joint with UNSC but - IS JOHN PART OF COVENANT SEPARATISTS? Sangheili Fleet (comm) 03:32, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Not really, cuz the Chief is part of the UNSC. Or else you might as well put all the Marines as "Covenant Separatists" and Elites as "UNSC". (No I didn't really mean you should do that but if you want to have fun) but seriously, the Chief is not part of the Covenant, so plz just keep it as "UNSC Navy" thank you very much. — əґ ыţ  єґ  ιιб

I like to think of it in terms of World War II. Britain and America retained different military branches, different chains of command, But they were both part of the Allies. So yes, I guess John is a Separatist. --  Councillor  Specops306  -  Kora   'Morhek  01:05, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Master Cheifs Death
Mark it and date it, Year of death

2552 - Battle of new Mombasa + 43 years (As of Testimonial: Gravesite) - 5 Years after Testimonial: Gravesite said to be his "Ceremony" 2590 is Y.O.D.
 * I think not 64.2.133.78 22:42, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

I Hope you notice that the Y.O.D he states happens in 2590. The "I think not" link to the legendary ending happens in 2556. Age-wise, MC will probably die in 2590, or at least be retired. At the moment he is..30-40? so 34 years from 2556, he will be 64-74-ish. Considering massive augmentation, battles, and being stuck in that armor all of the time, probably also from plasma burns, gun scars, and lack of a sane childhood, Im sure his life span has been.. somewhat reduced. — Shadow ( Dark Lair ) 17:20, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

I think that Master Chief should live longer than most humans since Avery Johnson is around 70 in the Halo games and has no signs of physical aging. Avery is only a spartan-I and is less powerful than John, in addition, the Spartan-IIs have Mjolnir armor that protects them from plasma burns, gunshot wounds, etc. And besides, Chief traveled alot in cryosleep, which should make him younger than his technical age in earth years.

Well, the lift supporting system helps much. Master Chief Petty Officer Spartan Contribution 11:28, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Take note he wouldn't age in those 34 years. So he most likely retired.

Master Chiefs Height
According to Bunjie's Beastarium the Reclaimer or Master Chiefs height is 2.08 meters (obout 6'8'') so I added this to the stats. Do you guys think this is his 'bare foot height' and he's a full 7' in armor? A Monument to All Your Sins 17:13, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

-Did MC- survive- I think MC did survive, according to the spoiler MC escapes the unknown halo wreckage with cortana. If he returned to earth is questionable. Can someone answer tis for me.

OK, I'll tell you what happened to MC, although you can look it up in the game plot on Wiki. After pre-maturely firing the re-built, unfinished Halo Instalation 04 (from halo one) Chief and the Arbiter tried to escape back to earth through the wormhole that took them to the Ark in the level "The Ark". They flew through in a cruiser, with Arby in the front of the ship and MC in the back with cortana. When the half-reconstructed Instalation 04 fired, destroying the Ark and off-lining the Halo system (hopefully), the cruiser was only half way through the wormhole portal back to earth. So only the front half with Arbiter made it back to earth, while the back half of the ship where MC and Cortana were riding was lost somewhere in time and space because the firing of halo cut off the wormhole while they were still in it, throwing them wildly into some part of space far away from earth. So the legendary ending cutscene shows MC and Cortana floating through space in the debris of the cruiser's hull, approaching a planet which seems to be a forerunner homeworld like Onyx. Many people think that this leads to the game Marathon eventually, which was an old Bungie FPS game which had a main character suspiciously similar to MC.24.15.64.119 03:42, 13 August 2008 (UTC)jake

MC's "Real" Face
I strikes me with great curiosity of how Master Cheif looks behind that helmet. It be cool if they show on H3 or HW. I also came across that in the starry Night's trailer for H3 they say that the little boy in the beginning was MC younger, interesting. Anyone else has anything to say about this? --Ferball 02:59, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I doubt it is the Chief's younger self, but I am too curious of it. There's a description in Halo: The Flood, maybe you can figure it outMaster Chief Petty Officer 05:10, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Bungie better not show the MC's face. I like how mysterious it is, besides every time there is a mystery and the answer is released to the public, its always a disappointment. You don't want another "darth vader incident" do you?---sogy

That is obvious, but I think that Sogy is right about itMaster Chief Petty Officer 05:11, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree but I heard that in the Halo movie MC will take his helmet off but most likely they will reveal the MC's face in Halo 3.

Actually, you can see MC's face on the trailor of Starry Night. When MC flies off the Mongoose/Warthog, and he pauses to pick up his helmet, you can see part of his face in the reflection of the visor. However, many users dispute this. -  Blemo   Talk   Contributions in the picture his face looks dark or very tan, i remeber in one of the halo books he(or someone else) says "their skin is so white" or something along those lines... then why would they show his face as dark or tanned? Nikki 22:20, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

The books did say somewhere that he was a pale white with plenty of battle scars didn't they? The Nooseman

Actuall you are correct. In the books it says he is supposed to be really pale, short hair, lots of scars and dark eyes. And under the helmet is just another helmet.GRIFISYOURFATHER 23:16, 4 September 2007 (UTC)GRIFISYOURFATHER

I believe there is an explanation of why Bungie don't reveal the face of the MC.

i reckon its good they havnt shown his because when you play halo your supposed to be masterchief so if you see his face you cant keep this illusion up.

Yeah well, I guess our question should be concluded that Master Chief represents you. ΜΆŜΤΈŖČΗέÏΣΡΈΤΤΥОΓΓïČëŗ 11:06, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

well think of it like this if they wanted this illusion they would'nt have shown the arbiter's face although he is an elite and all elites look the same but just think about that its not a valid argument but just something I wanted to throw in there


 * Eh... I don't know about what it currently says (that being "If your camera happens to go through the biped's visor, it wouldn't just go through the biped right away, you would see a face, just for realism.")... usually modelers wouldn't include something like that. With the hunters seeing the hand through the fuel rod cannon is understandable since it may have been planed that they spawn without it.  I've done mapping for Day of Defeat (a half life mod), and if you wanna make a house no one can get in to, you don't put rooms inside, you just leave it empty.  It saves time, effort, and actually makes the game run smoother and faster (less things to render). KWSN 16:28, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

I was on youtube the other day and watched a video of when chief takes off his helmet in the last Halo: CE cutscene. They modded the camera angle so you could see what happens. When chief takes off his helmet, he just has another helmet underneath, so I'm guessing bungie didn't make a face model for chief in the game. If you want to watch the video, search master chief's face under the search feature or something. You should find it eventually. Covenant Ghost 23:53, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

if you look and listen closely at what is in the Starry Night's trailer you will see that the little boy is Master Chief and the other person is on e of the other Spartans. They are probably somewhere on the planet Reach, where most of their childhood training took place. If you watch and LISTEN for a few minutes, in the video when master chief wakes up you can still hear the children. Since he is in the middle of a battle the children cannot be there. Therefore it must be on of his own memories. Comment Anyone ? Dijam 02:20, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Game VS Book
In the book, the MC has suffer a lot more damage by the looks of it, but in the game, the MC could only deflect small amount of damage and couldn't even withstand Covenant blasts when his shield is completly drained. You remember seeing the MC is First Strike, nearly being strangle by a Brute when his shield is completly drained? Why didn't he died?

Maybe it was adrenaline that gave him extra strength cause in the game I can have my shields down and wihtstand a lot of plasma shots, although sometimes I can't. Adrenaline  Fork  <font color="#A9A9A9">TALK • <font color="A9A9A9">MESSAGE

The book was based on the game so there is alot of information that is still blurry about MC. So mabye the author of the book had to make some info up about MC and his life/equipment.

MC's face
I was just reading the MC page on halopedia, but I came across the part bout his face, and it said it could just be a placeholder. But i remember seeing a camera mod on the first halo, when the camera angle blocks the MCs face. When he removes his helmet, he actually has another helmet underneath it. So could this mean that Bungie is modeling a Chief face?

ive heard if u fire a plasma pistol with master chief the glow will show his face

MC's Height
Where the hell on page 22 of FoR does it say the Master Chief is 6ft 10inches? I've checked a number of times and it just isn't there. He is described as being about, to just over, 2 metres tall. That makes his height 6'6"-6'7". Since we know he is exactly 7' in his armour and from Nicole 458's profile the armour adds half a foot to the wearers height. Should his height not be changed to 6'6" barefoot and 7' in armour? A Monument to All Your Sins 15:29, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Grammar error
Why does it say he should of received The Prisoner of War Medallion, it's either should've or should have. I'd edit it, but I can't because I'm unregistered. 71.189.22.224 03:21, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Birth Year
Is it ever explicitly stated that he was born in the year 2511, or was it deduced based on him being observed at the age of six in September of 2517? I ask because, if he was born in 2510, he would be born precisely 3000 years after the Battle of Marathon, which occurred in 490 BC. It just seems like something Bungie would slip as an easter egg, although I also noted this on the "Reversed Message" discussion page since that message notes 3000 years. Aiakides 08:21, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

It would be possible if he had a October, November, or December birthday. Also, cool factoid.

In fall of reach it said that he was six and the year was 2517 so he must have been born in 2511.Halonerd147 19:59, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

John's Rank
Yes, I know he's a MCPO, but I'm wondering, after all of his awards, his accomplishments (including destroying Alpha Halo and killing Regret), and his service record, why wouldn't he have been promoted?

Well he wasn't always ranked MCPO. He was originally ranked petty officer second class i think and has since then ranked up, also, during missions the Spartans are engaged on he can over rule the local commanders (IE during the third novel where he over rules Haverson, who is several ranks higher than him.) --Ajax 013 02:20, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

He mentioned his orders came from High Order, probably because he's in proccess of the mission. So I think he can have or relinquish the orders. But he does have some tactical moves, you might want to appreciate how hard his work is. ΜΆŜΤΈŖČΗέÏΣΡΈΤΤΥОΓΓïČëŗ 10:30, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

If you haven't noticed master chief is kind very busy fighting, therefore no oputunity has arisen for him to be promoted. Dijam 02:20, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Also, Master Chief petty Officer is the highest non-commissioned officer in the navy.

Actually, he is Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy(what a mouthful)
 * 1) Omega117 01:44, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
 * No he's not. He's just a Master Chief Petty Officer. You'll notice that in Halo 2 and Halo 3, Johnson doesn't call him "sir" anymore, cuz since Johnson's promotion to Sergeant Major, MCPO inthe Navy=SgtMjr in the Marine Corps. So will you (or whoever is doing it) stop changing it back to Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy.

Flash clones
The bit that says "...replaced with Flash Clones which later died of natural causes. " should probably say "...replaced with Flash Clones, who are presumed to have died soon afterward from metabolic cascade failure.", with a footnote to Axon Clips Chapter 7. Or something along those lines. Though I'm not sure why the current version emphasizes natural causes in the first place. --68.44.13.236 04:27, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Because full Flash Clones invariably die of neurological disorders, the ones of the SPARTAN-IIs even more so due to their quick cloning. Its never explained why but they develop neurological disorders that kill them soon after. --Ajax 013 07:28, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Theory of Halo 3 ending
In Halo: The Fall of Reach, it is said that spartans have 90 minutes of oxygen in their armour. This means, that at the end of Halo 3 after the portal collapsed the MC and the Dawn could only have been drifting for approx. 87 minutes since he awoke near a gash in the ship, allowing vaccum to get in. I think this might mean that masterchief or cortana still have a piece of slipspace crystal (Halo: First Strike), because I don't think they could get away from the ark in time. --Natdogg1 06:35, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Dont forget he also got the Mark VI armor in halo 2. So it might have even better life support systems. He could have been out for hours. --Corporal John

John's face revealed!
There is a way to see John's face in Halo 2. Toss a frag grenade on his head and MAKE SURE IT STAYS THERE! Then his helmet should be tilted. If it isn't, kill the other person and wait for him to respawn before trying it again. Once it is tilted, use a weapon like a Plasma Rifle to blast the part below the helmet where the small hole caused by the tilt is. The helmet should go flying off and you can see his face. He is a man of about forty, with a scar on his cheek. Please note that I have seen someone do it before but have not actually done it myself(the grenade keeps bouncing off).

cease fire
you know how in RvB how they hold there guns down in a cease fire position they did it in halo 1 and in halo 2 but I don't know how to do it in halo 3 does any one know how to do this

LB+RB+A+LS+DPAD DOWN Press all these at the same time and then hold for 3 seconds, you'll know because your weapon will disappear from your screen in First Person. I just don't understand why they make it so complicated. I think, like... D-Pad Left pressed once could suffice. --<font color="Goldenrod">Reborn Knuxchao <font color="DarkGoldenrod">T <font color="SaddleBrown">C <font color="Black">R  22:29, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

r u sure its that cuz in H2 I used the d-pad and the gun dos'nt disapear from the screen so this is for the cease fire and not to make your gun dissapear

I really hate this new version, can't get it to work.

It's hard, but you need to press all those buttons at once to get it to work, then hold it for 3 seconds. If you shoot, your gun will come back up. In Halo 1 you just simply look all the way down. Halo 2 press the D-Pad up. It should work though. --<font color="Goldenrod">Reborn Knuxchao <font color="DarkGoldenrod">T <font color="SaddleBrown">C <font color="Black">R  21:12, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Chief and the Post Halo 3 Planet
The "assumed death" section alludes to his heading for what is possibly the UESC Marathon. That's entirely IMPOSSIBLE since Bungie has already stated that Halo and Marathon take place in two different canons and are in no way affiliated with one another.

Cortana says "It's been an honor working with you "John", and not "Chief."

To The or not to The
The article tends to waver back and forth between calling him "Master Chief" and "the Master Chief." I'd like to stick with one style. Personally, I'd go with "the" since it's his rank, not his title. Whenever anyone refers to him as just Master Chief in the games, they're speaking directly to him, the same way soldiers address Johnson as just "Sarge". Captain J 04:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

luck
hey, i was just reading and i wanted to note something. in the bio, it says "Dr. Halsey and Lieutenant Jacob Keyes ...were quite amazed by his reflexes, and more importantly, his luck. " i'm questioning this because in Halo 3, cortana tells us, "but i noticed something else, that no one else did...can you guess what it was? luck." or something like that. but she did say that no one else noticed his luck, except her. so i just think that bit about the Dr. n Lt. is wrong. if anyone agrees, they should change it... ok, thanks!

To be more specific, Halsey never, to my knowladge, told Keyes about the luck thing, and Cortana was made from Halsey's brain, so Cortana could be speaking as if she was Halsey. --71.112.87.56 06:06, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

RE: John's Rank and Luck
MCPO John-117 would never be "promoted" as it would be a waste of his talents. He currently stands as the highest ranking non-comissioned officer in the Marines. Were John-117 to become a comissioned officer, he would have grunt soldiers directly under his command. John is a specialist, designed to work alone or in very small elite groups for tactical strikes, not as a bureaucratic commander. Command over a platoon would hinder John's talents, rather than make good use of them.

With regard to the above comment on Luck-- Cortana retains many of the memories of Dr. Halsey, her creator. Cortana did not exist at the time six-year-old John was picked to be a Spartan. So when she describes picking John for his luck, she is recalling Halsey's memories of being impressed by the boy John.


 * Sorry, but he's Navy. Its a common mistake. And why wouldn't he be promoted? Special Forces groups can be small, sometimes only four, and be lead by a Captain.  Specops306 ,  Kora 'Morhek  01:49, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I figured I would throw this in here instead of creating a new topic section. The second paragraph of MC's early military career (dealing with Watts and the Chief's first battle with the covenant) has multiple mistakes (like saying he battled with Watts for 27 years instead of the Covenant) and sounds really broken and grammatically incorrect.

mc's rank
in the article it ranks the master chief full rank as master chief petty officer of the navy. this is isn't correct, mcpon is a rank only one person holds at a time today and he is a a paper pusher being the the highest ranking enlists sailor. i think its safe to assume the same for 25xx.Johnknee 18:40, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

I agree, and there is no references to that he hold the rank MCPO of the Navy, so this is likelly vandalsim, or simply someone though that MCPON is better, and it got under who ever cleaned up this page's nose. I sincerily hope this will be corrected shortly, and I will correct the MCPON page where it states that John-117 is an MCPon Warhead xTEAMx 15:13, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Cortana
I don't remember exactly, But didn't Dr. Halsey make Cortana...also made Cortana in her likeness(looks and body) and why not in mind too. If so in mind too, why not some of Dr. Halsey's most cherished memories kept with Cortana. Such as the early memories of the Spartan Program and such.

Age and Special Relativity
That bit about special relativity in John-117's section on age is just plain scientifically wrong. For one thing, Einstein's theory only applies to the Euclidean styled universe we live in (i.e. three dimensions plus time); while slipspace as mentioned heavily in the books exists in some dimension(s) outside of the normal universe. Also once you go faster than the speed of light (as one does when a ship travels through slipspace) Special Relativity breaks down and one receives imaginary numbers as responses for the relative changes in time with no known scientific explanation of how to explain what one would observe in these circumstances. As is, the only remaining logical argument for John's decreased aging is that most of his life would have been spent in a cryogenic deep sleep going from star system to star system. I thought I would point that out here before just deleting the erroneous comment. -Lord Hyren 04:07, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Possibly dead
I dont suppose many of us have realized this. Chief was only in half of a frigate, so the insides are obviously exposed. So the heat from the entry into the atmosphere of that planet would obviously fry the insides and the Chief, if not the enitre peice of the ship altogether(i mean is there ANY power on that ship other than the cryo power?) This should be listed as a possible death i think.
