:::Honestly, though, kill-count is not equal to skill. Kill count by taking down ships is largely the result of opportunity. Any human, even an unaugmented one, could have piloted the Onager and shot down the cruiser. Does that make them more skilled than Six? No, they were just at the right place at the right time. However, it ''did'' take skill for Six to fight his way through the Zealots to reach the Onager in the first place, something that would have been very difficult, near impossible for unshielded Marines. So one can't weigh skill by how many people they've killed. One has to weigh how much effort it took them.

::::Agreed wholeheartedly, and something that would reinforce this point would be something I brought up earlier in the discussion, due to having not been in battle as long as John-117 would even further lean in favor of Noble Six due to John-117 having more "scars" and health problems due to such prolonged exposure to battle. He may be a SPARTAN but 27 years of straight combat would take its toll, much less so than 10. --[[User talk:Kluutak|Kluutak]] 10:16, 28 February 2012 (EST)

I whole heartily agree with Tuckerscreator. this should be about effort not strict kill count, and in my mind fighting Flood and Sentinels seems ~~would take~~ a lot of effort.[[User talk:Weeping Angel|Weeping Angel]] 22:05, 7 March 2012 (EST)
