Talk:Avery Johnson

seperation from arbiter, johnson, and miranda
how come 343 does not apear in halo 3 until the the 5th level even though he was with johnson, miranda, and the arbiter at the end of halo 2?

Boren's Syndrome
was confirmed to be non canon by Bungie. why is it up here...? --1000 Sangheili

what the hell are you talking about its been in the books and graphic novel. and those have all been confimred canon. [User:Ralok|Ralok]] 03:07, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Bungie never liked the idea of Johnson being immune to the Flood. They sorta have been writing it off for the past few years, making it seem like he was less immune to the Flood, but more of a badass warrior who could take on all comers, which is probably why he the Paris/BS Spoof went down. It's somewhere in Halo.Bungie.Org, an interview with Joe Staten, I think.

Haircut?
It appears as if in Halo 3 Johnson shaved his head, look at the silloette on the Halo 3 website. In the beginning of Halo 2 he had hair (as far as I can remember) think he shaved his 'stach too? -- Knuxchao 15:20, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Near the end of Halo 3, his cap is removed. He's balding! So he couldn't have shaved his head if his hair is naturally getting shaved! Kap2310 22:02, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

The Sarge isn't balding! His hair is simply being transported to Earth wear it can be put to some good use, just because Johnson aint kickin' doesn't mean his presence can't be felt by the folks at home! Johnson's Deep Fried Chicken anyone? Hoorah! But in all seriousness he does seem to be getting on in age and with the mustache it never was Marine protocol to have that goddamn hippie crap growing on a military man! Nihilistic 19:19, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Hoorah? OOKEY THEN.

Height- Pure Speculation
Where did we get such an accurate height for Sergeant Johnson? When he stand side by side with the Chief he looks a foot shorter than him. Would it not be more appropriate to say 6ft+ ?


 * The height comes from Stephen Loftus's scale measurements, which are about as canon as you can get, since they are taken from the game itself. -The Dark Lord Azathoth 00:12, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Skin
Johnson's skin in Halo 3 promotional pictures is nowhere near the shade it is in the previous games. Are the pictures off-colour, or is that intentional? 19:43, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

It's just the lighting. StAraqiel 17:17, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

oly oly oxen vree (or free?)
Johnson propably knew the oly oly oxen vree in Halo O:FS because John could have told it to him. Or he remembered it, he had after all heard it once it in the book.
 * It was "free". Not vree, whatever that means. --B le mo http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif TALK • CONTRIBUTIONS •  THE SOURCE OF SPAM 01:05, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Death
Don't you guys think that his death was... unfitting for the sarge? I mean, taken out by a monitor... that sucks... I wanted him to go out with a bang.. I mean, if he activated the halos AFTER the flood had injured him... I'd like that death... but... taken out by 343?! Come on Bungie! You guys could've done better... AJ 02:54, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah it was too sudden and undignified for someone of his experience. It looked to me like Bungie squeezed it in at the last second ("oh what the hell, deadline's almost here, let's just kill him off the easy way"). Still, just another one of Halo 3's screwups... — əґ <font color="6495ED">ыţ <font color="#00BFFF">єґ <font color="#87CEEB">ιιб <font color="#008080">TALK • <font color="#66CDAA">CONTRIBUTIONS • <font color="#228B22">AWARDS

i think he is alive
everyone throught he died in halo 1 but some how he servived and lived to fight anouther day. there is more then one vehical on the level aswel so he might had got on that and been as lucky as in the past and found a ship and killed lodes of stuff on the way. themaskedidiot


 * Sure... AJ. You keep complaining. :) At least he was killed by a main character, not some random alien/zombie/thing. --<font color="#D3D3D3">B <font color="#A9A9A9">le <font color="#808080">mo http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif <font color="#A9A9A9">TALK • <font color="A9A9A9">CONTRIBUTIONS • <font color="#A9A9A9"> THE SOURCE OF SPAM 03:11, 29 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't think it was important how he died, just WHEN. Johnson, though mostly the Master Chief's friend, was sort of a mentor. He was one of those guides that the Chief had throughout the games, and though he was a good soldier, he had to die. When the Chief and the Arbiter escape the Ark, there's nothing holding them back - they just have to complete their mission. Johnson died in the line of duty, which I think is a good enough death for him. Blackhawk003 06:02, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

i agree. Johnson is one bravo alpha marine, but more importantly, a dedicated marine. I believe he would've been happy dying for the cause. However, I don't think Sergeant Major Johnson wanted to get killed by the "lightbulb".

I don't think many people want to get killed ever...but stuff happens. Honestly I think he should have been killed by Truth, and then Miranda should have either survived or gone down like daddy. 207.255.182.198 05:59, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey the mention of the two scripted un-avoidable deaths in halo CE seem to have been removed. Why is that? I Think it proves the Sarge can survive ever scriped deaths. HE WILL RETURN DAMMIT!! Please dont shoot that down, leave me my theories please.SargeLIVES 21:13, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Johnson's body fell off the platform. If he survived that, you'll remember the ring blew up, and the Ark destroyed. Let's see you getting back from that. And you see him die up-close, while in Halo CE the last thing you see him doing is hugging an Elite (and that's not even canon). <font color="#4169E1">— <font color="#6495ED">əґ <font color="6495ED">ыţ <font color="#00BFFF">єґ <font color="#87CEEB">ιιб <font color="#008080">TALK • <font color="#66CDAA">CONTRIBUTIONS • <font color="#228B22">AWARDS

move to delete 'The not-so-Invincible Johnson'
The "The not-so-Invincible Johnson" section is pure speculation with minute-to-no canon foundation. Should we delete it? --WTRiker 23:43, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

It was based around the fact he was invincible in Halo 2, a note worthy piece of information.--Ajax 013 10:50, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Spartan laser
Hey, cause his got Borens syndrome dya think that why he can handle the Spartan laser? LIke Fuel rod

What?! He seems to use the Spartan Laser very effectively... and he can't use fuel rod guns, what the hell?! These have nothing to do with Borens Syndrome. Make sense the next time you want to make a point. --Ajax 013 10:50, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Survival glitch?
Some news on HBO a while ago centered around a group of people who managed to keep the Sarge alive after he got killed by 343 Guilty Spark; they even managed to get him to shoot the turret on the Warthog during the escape sequence. Has anyone else managed to do this?--CT-5619 helmet comlink 22:23, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Spartan I status: Confirmed.
I added in his bio that he was a confirmed member of Project: ORION, otherwise known as the Spartan-I program. See P:O for confirmation quote. Working on updating sources.

The Sarge
The Sarge was born in the hood, influenced by his aunt, goes on a drinking binge, breaks a bouncer's arms, and is found lying in a gutter... wow. <font color="Red">Don't Mess With The Sarge  <font color="Gold">My Comm Line <font color="Red">My Wars 16:57, 4 November 2007 (UTC)


 * AND he's the first character to get laid in any of the Halo Novels so far. Spartan-117's had three books and still hasn't gotten it on, and The Sarge gets some action in his very first book. Of course, it makes sense for someone named Johnson.

when did he get laid? dont remmeber that part its been so long scince i read that book.

What are the two occasions in H:CE where he automatically dies? Admittedly, it's been a while since I played it, but I can't remember them. Unless you're talking about Jenkins' headcam, which we all know he survived, and the Legendary ending, which isn't canon. --Pcm979 00:44, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

That's Trivia?
Anyone think we move the part in trivia section of the article that tells about the glitch? (The really big trivia piece.) It seems...out of place. Should we make a new section for it?User:imperialscouts

Theory
It is my theory that Johnson suffered mental trauma during the ORION program due to his overeaction response to his Aunt's death. Anyone else concur?

Spartan 501 04:35, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

The reason he asked to stay behind...
I think Bungie wanted to make it very, very clear that he had died, and was not coming back. No one, not even Sgt. Johnson.

why is johnson so badass?
now johnson is the the baddest of the asses but why is that? personally i think that johnson is a spartan I. what does every one else think? is it a spartan one, because hes black (no offence to anyone) or somthing else??? o P.S. does anyone think that mendez is a spartan one?

yes to the former, no to the latter, and i just think i like the smell of badass.

age
How come Johnson is so strong for a marine if he is almost 80? Nemesis645 07:03, 5 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Because he's a Spartan-I and because he probably skipped a bunch of years with frequent voyages into Slipspace, where there's time-distortion. --<font color="#4D56B1">Dragon<font color="#F28500">c laws (<font color="#4D56B1">talk ) 08:24, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

I think it's cause he is a SPARTAN I, the whole slipspace thing and it also might have something to do with the regenerative abilities he got from the flood therefore making his cells regenerate (?) faster making him age slower or not at all (?). Helljumper94 23:39, 4 January, 2008

ok it says he was born before 2480 so wouldn't that make him 72 or older? how come he doesn't look so old?Yuhi33 03:02, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Good point. Elite&#39;s Rule 00:42, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Same reason MC is in his early 40's but physically in his 20's. All to do with space travel and the fact that humans can live up to 150 now.


 * It's true that human lifespan is increasing, with advances in medical understanding. But there's no evidence that humans live that long in the 2500's, or that Johnson is old enough for it to apply. Rather, I think that Johnson does look his age. In Halo 3, he's suddenly accrued a bald spot and a lot of wrinkles, which may indicate a physical retcon of the Sarge's appearance by Bungie. -- Councillor   Specops 306  -  Qur'a  'Morhek  06:33, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

That is pure speculation. Do you have any proof people live that long in 2552? I doubt he was born in 2472, There's no way he was 80 in the Halo games. 2500 seems far more likely.

It would't make sense for him to be born in 2500 either, because I'm sure they don't recruit two year olds, give them sniper rifles that use Gauss, and assassinate a well known rebel leader. More than likely, he was born sometime in the 2400s.112 03:34, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Possible trivia
In December of 2005, there was a killed-in-action African-American Master Sergeant named A. Johnson. Though this is probably coincidence, should this be noted? Out of the 3,200 dead soldiers in the Iraq War (which is a disappointment of a war if you ask me), the odds are low for an African-American solder to be be ranked as a Master Sergeant and have the initial "A." with the last name of "Johnson". 03:15, 23 January 2008 (UTC)


 * No. For one thing, he was a Master Sergeant, not a Sergeant Major. For another, he's dead. I don't think that fighting for his country earns him a mention in a trivia section.  Specops306 ,  Kora 'Morhek  01:36, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh phooey, I always get the ranks of Master Sergeant and Sergeant Major mixed up. I don't mean to mention that the guy in Iraq died, I mean to mention the coincidence of name and rank, like they do on the Marcus Banks article. 03:55, 2 February 2008 (UTC)


 * What do you mean, he wasn't a Sergeant Major? They called him that several times in Halo 3. <font color="#4169E1">— <font color="#6495ED">əґ <font color="6495ED">ыţ <font color="#00BFFF">єґ <font color="#87CEEB">ιιб <font color="#008080">TALK • <font color="#66CDAA">CONTRIBUTIONS • <font color="#228B22">AWARDS

sarg. is my favorite non-mastercheif character

best black dude in any video game. ever.

Name
"Junior" is his middle name, hence the "Avery J. Johnson", not "Avery Johnson J.". Go to Halo Graphic Novel, Page 122, hit cntrl+F (this works for Mozilla Firefox, but I don't know about other internet browsers), and enter "Johnson" in the pop-up search bar. If you scroll through all times the word "Johnson" is used, it's always as a last name, not a middle. Any time "Junior" is used, it's a middle name, not a last name. 02:55, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Rank
I don't think Johnson was a Staff Sergeant for 27 years. I think it was more due to the fact that we didn't know what his rank change was over that period of time, and that he was more likely something like a First Sergeant due to his experience and reputation. Besides, you don't get a lot of promotions from a junior Sergeant to a senior one after a three-decade delay. <font color="#4169E1">— <font color="6495ED">ыţ <font color="#87CEEB">ιιб <font color="#008080">TALK • <font color="#66CDAA">CONTRIBUTIONS • <font color="#228B22">AWARDS
