Talk:Master Chief (Halo)/Archive 1

message: Does anyone actually call him John-117? I thought he was always just "John" or "Spartan 117." At least, that's what my friends who have read the books say. LockeShocke 19:53, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)
:From memory, no.  However, he considers it his last name and more than likely how he is officially designated in all records. Razer of Chaos 23:26, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: John-117

message: In the Collector's Edition for Halo 2, there's a barely discernable letter to 117 from a woman named Cassandra currently convalescing at the M2SL Recovery Station and that she's gone into fourth-stage rehabilitation. Has the novels or any other material mentioned her?--YoungFreud 18:33, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cassandra? 

message: What do you all think. Cookiecaper 13:26, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. At best, such a move would just start a disambig page with Master Chief Petty Officer (besides, it already points to this page). --YoungFreud 16:00, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

text: I agree that this article should be retitled Master Chief, maybe Master Chief (Halo). I realize that there's already a redirect from Master Chieft, but having the article titled John-117 is somewhat confusing because that name is mentioned only in the semi-canonical Halo novels.  Anyone who has a passing knowledge of Halo knows the character as Master Chief and that should be a good enough justification for the title. -- NormanEinstein 13:45, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I went ahead and moved the article from John-117 to Master Chief (Halo). I think this works better and is less confusing.  I'll correct all the existing wikilinks to John-117. - NormanEinstein 16:36, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  I think this should be moved to Master Chief. 

message: I changed the article's name because it would be better if it includes the Master Chief's full name. Do you like it or not? If you don't like it, the article's name should be reverted back to the previous name. -- Ed Telerionus 17:34, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article name changed 

message: The First Strike section of this article ends with the following sentence:
In addition to the five named Spartans above, there are in fact three other Spartans who were out of range when the Spartans were gathered on the Pillar of Autumn, prior to the Fall of Reach and the events on Installation 04.
I think this sentence relates to a few lines in the Fall of Reach novel where it is stated that all Spartans, save a few engaged in far away star systems, were present at the briefing for the plan to infiltrate the Covenant homeplanet. I always thought this meant some Spartans did not attend the briefing, but all were enlisted for the mission.
In the context of this article the sentence seems to hint there are three other Spartans alive other than John-117, Fred-104, Linda-58, Will-43 and Kelly-87 whose name is not mentioned, but I believe this to be incorrect.
Is there some info in Halo 2 (haven't played it yet and I'm avoiding to read any spoiler until I can play it...) that can justify such an intepretation? Or am I missin the real meaning of the sentence? Anyone can shed light?

thread_title:  Surviving Spartans 

message: That was done by me, and my information was gleaned from both Fall of Reach, and Halo.Bungie.Org, more specifically, fans whom have also made the same assumptions. I must say in fairness, that EITHER of the two options, there being 3 extra spartans + the four from the books, or all but those four having perished in the battle for Reach.
As for the games, the games are made with the assumption that the player has not read the books, but does reference various events that happened in the books, but wouldn't require more than what the in-game story provides. Such as mentioning the fall of Reach and what not
* Thanks for the explanation. I was wondering if I've been missing some piece of information or if there were simply two different and equally possible ways to interpret what is hinted in the books/web/etc... Thanks. Berserker79 13:57, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  About the surving Spartans 

message: Would it be worth throwing up a shot of Masterchief's face from Halo 3 on here, or just keep the Halo 2 one? I think it might be worth it to keep it up to date. -Sanius 20:21, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Survey

message: A "Other Appearances" section is present in this article with a single entry which has very few to do with the Master Chief. If not already present, mention of Spartan-458 (Nicole) in DOA4 should be done on the Halo (video game series) page rather than here. Unless someone disagrees I'm going to remove it in a few days. Berserker79 12:33, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't like much the fact the whole paragraph dealt more with Spartan-458 rather than the Chief, but since you have renamed it to trivia I think it makes a bit more sense now. Berserker79 07:15, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other appearances 

message: Sorry, I may be being stupid, but the halo 3 trailer gave me the impression that the Master Chief was on earth, but was working with the elites, grunts and hunters. Otherwise, wouldn't they be shooting at him?--elk 20:52, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trailer for halo 3 

message: You guys might want to look into the infamous and ancient "site 117", which is believed by many to be the first scientific evidence of man's violence against other men.  It is also certainly the first "mass" slaughter of men, women and children ever uncovered.  Read this is you give a damn(http://muse.jhu.edu/demo/anthropological_quarterly/v073/73.3ferguson.pdf), just a thought, good luck...
Will the moderator please respond to my brilliant discovery?

thread_title:  The whole 117 thing 

message: This article alleges that the Master Chief removes his helmet once in each game. I can't think of an instance in Halo 2 when he does that; can someone point out when this happens? Graft 22:19, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In his first appearance in Halo 2, he is putting the helmet back on his head. Peptuck 19:08, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Helmet removal 

message: The following link :
http://www.writeups.org/affiche_fiche.php?id=3069
has a fairly good article on the version of the Master Chief and the Spartan troopers from the *book* version of Halo. It thus would be a good complement for people with an interest in the Master Chief, IMO. Should we add it or not ?

replies: text: Unless I'm missing something, it looks like a fan-written article geared toward integration of the character into some unrelated RPG, so, no, it wouldn't be a particularly useful external link. — TKD::Talk 17:08, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I beleive Ghostwise was particularly interested on the section discussing Cheif's history. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.57.20.114 (talk) 20:48, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggested external link 

message: At the end of Halo 2, and in the Halo 3 Trailer, Master Chief's MJONLIR VI Armor appears to be of a beigeish persuasion, possibly steel or brown colored. However in Halo: Combat Evolved and other instances, it is more of a sage color. Which color is officially correct? 66.57.20.114 20:51, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Armor color? 

message: Why doesn't SPATRAN-117 or John-177 link to this article? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.103.134.110 (talk) 13:46, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
