 Good catch Subtank, major rank fail on 343s part, I'm guessing that was for the fans more than anything.

+:John's rank during the Battle of Jericho VII is not stated in the 2011 Definitive Edition of ''The Fall of Reach''. Therefore, he very well may have been a Master Chief by that time. Granted, I would prefer it if John were a PO1 or a CPO during the webseries - that's ''four'' promotions in less than a year! - but if 343 Industries says he was already an E-9, so be it. While ''"Call me 'Master Chief'"'' is obviously for the benefit of newcomers and casual fans, the line is actually pretty cool. On the other hand, I find it completely ridiculous that he ends his message to Kelly with, ''"Chief out."'' Really? ''"John out"'' would have been far more believable.
+:One of my favorite parts is when John sees the needle rifle projectile heading toward Sully, then steps forward and takes the blow. That's the best representation of the Spartans' reflexes we've ever been shown outside the novels. I expected JJ and Vickers to die, so I wasn't surprised, but their sacrifices were handled very well. I agree with Killjax that Colonel Mehaffey's death really felt devastating. It was one thing to see her go down, but the supercombine explosion really drove her death home. Apart from Mehaffey's death, I thought the saddest part was when the survivors are approaching the Warthog and come across a dead ODST; that part made me consider that even the best of the best are no match for the Covenant. I'm really looking forward to Kelly and Fred's inevitable cameos in the next episode. --[[User talk:Braidenvl|Courage never dies.]] 14:31, 26 October 2012 (EDT)
