Talk:Master Chief (Halo)/Archive 3

message: If any of you people have the halo 3 beastiery it says Master Chief weighs 179kg and is 2.08m tall but i don't see any of those figures . Someone please answer why?
:In the "Outward appearance" section, there are figures currently cited to a different source. We should add the bestiary information as an alternative description. — TKD::Talk 11:12, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe the figure I cited are from Halo:CE manual; i suggest just making an approximation using the two figures, small things like that are going to change. David Fuchs (talk) 12:38, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Or perhaps just say that source 1 says X and source 2 says Y, if that doesn't turn out too unwieldy. — TKD::Talk 12:50, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  we should use the most recent figures from the Halo 3 beatiary, as it SHOULD retcon the rest of the old information as the newest published information from Bungie. It's just like how it was thought that the Elites made first contact with Harvest, but it was the Jackals at some random point in space ReshenKusaga (talk) 06:07, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Seconded that. Bungie's own "canon priority" policy puts newer material over older ones. If the Bestiary says how tall the Chief is, that's how tall he is, unless osmething else comes out that overrides it. Peptuck (talk) 06:33, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Nowhere in the article does it mention Master Chief's age. According to Halo: The Fall of Reach, he's 6 years old in the year 2517, meaning that when the events of Halo: Combat Evolved break out, he's 41 years old. I think that's significant.

thread_title:  Nicknames 

message: I refer to the importance of this article towards WP:XBOX. This article is hardly 'top importance', and possibly not even high. This isn't about the console, nor a game playable on the console, but actually towards a main character in Halo, a popular game for the console. I hardly see how this warrents top importance, and will change it to mid/high later on if no one can give me a (valid) reason. Metagraph  comment 08:01, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the justification comes not from simply being a character, but the Master Chif's iconic status as the mascot of the console in particular and modern FPS games in general. As the article points out, the Master Chief is right up there with Mario in terms of recognizability. Though this is anecdotal, I've encountered sixty or seventy year-old professors on my campus who have never touched an XBOX in their life, but when they saw the Chief's image on Game Fuel vending machines on campus, they knew his name. The Chief isn't just a character, he's a symbol of XBOX and gaming in general, which is why I think the justification is warranted. Peptuck (talk) 16:43, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Top Importance? 

message: Interesting to note that the brief section on character design doesn't mention the evolutionary resemblance to the character's Marathon predecessors; is this because no Wikipedian has noted it, or because Bungie has chosen to downplay the connection in the primary source material used to date? Beyond the clear resemblance and leaving aside the story elements, the description of the initial rejected models (too slim etc.) seems to hint that the Marathon cyborg player character was a heavy visual inspiration. - toh (talk) 19:54, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: But no reliable sources make the connection, so we can't put it in the article. Besides, Shi Kai Wang wasn't a Bungie staffer; why would he design a character based off a game he had no hand in making? Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 20:26, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Actully, it does, he is, by all means, a unseen character for 2 reasons 1: first person limits him to cutscenes and box-art
3: hes under his armor therfor making him an unseen. --68.106.214.77 (talk) 00:09, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

text: Seeing as Wikipedia's article states unseen characters as "...continuing characters — characters who are currently in frequent interaction with the other characters and who influence current story events — who are never directly observed by the audience but are only described by other characters", the Chief meets none of the above criteria. We never see his face, but we do see him in the flesh, as it were. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 00:12, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I think it would be useful to clarify for the Article that he's a member of the Navy, since the vast majority of people seem to think he's in the Marines.
I know for a fact that it is mentioned a few times that the Spartans are under the jurisdiction of the Office of Naval Intelligence, but does anyone have quotes from either the game or the books to directly back it up?

thread_title:  Mister Chief 

message: It's obviously a fairly pathetic source, but could it be that the Chief's home planet (Eridanus II) was, for lack of a better term, a British colony? I was playing Halo 3 with the IWHBYD skull active. The level was The Covenant and I was coming back from deactivating the first tower. I think I hit something because the next thing I knew, I turned and span all the way over in the Warthog until I landed on my wheels again. The Marine in the back snarked at me saying something like "You know, we drive on the right side of the road over here." Like I said, pathetic source, but could that actually be a hint? Most of the things I've heard with the IWHBYD skull are simply gibberish and outtakes that weren't serious enough for the actual game. But could Bungie have sneaked that one in on purpose? *prepares for resounding 'no'* --Thejadefalcon (talk) 11:53, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Bungie has a unique sense of humor. I interpret that as a throwaway joke for generic bad driving, and I don't think anything more than that can be read from it. But, yeah, that's too weak of a source to base anything in the article on it. — TKD::{talk} 15:21, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't think so, but it was worth a try just in case it was reliable for some reason. But I wasn't driving badly... I was just... experimenting... with new forms of locomotion... yes... that'll do... --Thejadefalcon (talk) 11:45, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Personally, I think that Bungie made the Master Chief's nationality British...You ever heard the style, the low deep growl the Spartans talk in? It has quite a clip of British accent, according to me. I think that the Master Chief-117 is British or at his ancestry at least dates back to somewhere in ancient United Kingdom. Maybe I didn't hear it well, or maybe I am hearing it well. I don't know, but all I know is that I just decided the supersoldier is British.--Rollersox (talk) 01:40, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: No, seriously. I mean, he just has that small twinge of British accent, and does he growl? I rarely hear him growl in any of the Halo games, although it might just be me growing older every nanosecond...:)--Rollersox (talk) 23:39, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

:New threads go at the bottom. Also, the MA5B (or MA5C for Halo 3 and ODST) isn't really notable. It's a gun. It shoots things. Name any gun in a first-person shooter which is different.

thread_title:  The Master Chief in Halo Legends 

message: I think it should be noted at least that the Master Chief is likely based on the Doomguy. The green armor, the classic assault rifle and the standalone running into danger says it all  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.30.108.30 (talk) 22:12, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed; it looks like the DOOM marine, and "while other publications have stated that this attribute allows players to better assume the role of the Master Chief" noted in the article is something John Romero specifically said about the DOOM marine, particularly due to its lack of a name (and MC similarly lacks a name), while "Michael Nitsche of the Georgia Institute of Technology found similarity to Gordon Freeman, the protagonist of Valve Corporation's Half-Life series of FPS video games: "[Both characters] are the independent, individualistic, and often lonely heroes that gain admiration by constantly proving their superiority ... in technology-driven, hostile, often closed spaces'" can again be surmised by the DOOM marine's situation and role. Keep in mind Halo was a product selected for a Microsoft system, and previously MS had shown interest in DOOM, with their Doom95 and with Gates talking about it while being "in the game" (which explores the "it's you" concept used for the DOOM guy and then applied to the Halo character.)

replies: text: The article includes his birthdate in 2511, and though I don't think this article specifcally mentions it, the Human-Covenant War began on Harvest in 2552 (can't remember source) and Combat Evolved is only a few years later (somewhere around 5, I think). I think the books all include the years of their settings relatively early on, and Waypoint and the things in Halo Wars would provide a more accurate dating system. From these, you could deduce his age throughout the series, which I believe lasts several years, since in Halo 4 one of the plot elements is that Cortana has been in service for eight years (Reach-Halo 3 approximately 4 years then, as she also says Chief has been sleeping for over 4 years), so one specific number would be inaccurate. 136.165.210.43 (talk) 02:29, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Due to the release of Halo 4, some of the information in this article is no longer accurate (e.g. " the Master Chief never speaks during player-controlled gameplay" under Attributes: Personality, lines 2-3 of first paragraph: there are several parts of Halo 4 wherein Chief and Cortana converse, frequently with a small animation of some sort in the top-left corner of the screen, all while the player retains full control of movement). Also, Halo 4 shows a much clearer picture of the Chief's personality-focused, dedicated, loyal, humble, and too d*** busy saving the galaxy and those he is loyal to to think about human nature and thus become cynical.

message: The first very first section should be edited to reflect appropriate rank, "MCPON" is incorrect. It should be Master Chief Petty Officer, not Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy, as is stated. There is only one MCPON in the Navy, and it is an office job.
:I'm inclined to leave this as is. A Google search shows some pictures with rank insignia that make his rank MCPON. What the rank entails in the U.S. Navy is irrelevant to this article. That said, it is an in-universe thing that I can't really find any citable sources for, so I'll leave this open for now - if anyone feels differently, feel free to make the change (though I'd rather have it removed entirely than change it to another in-universe thing). ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 18:39, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Agree that MCPO is the rank in the real world, but this is an article about a pretend person who runs around space shooting aliens with lasers, I don't think rank accuracy is a particular concern of the game's creators. Fish+Karate 13:13, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello, I literally signed up to Wikipedia after I took to twitter to get an answer on this. Frank O'Connor clarifiedhttps://twitter.com/franklez/status/1095073420742541313 that he is NOT the MCPON but just a standard MCPO (E-9 equivalent). The MCPON in the Halo universe then, according to Mr.O'Connor, is like the MCPON of the U.S. Navy. He also went ahead and added that John was also qualified for that position, which is a fun little tidbit. Apparently the new Spartan Handbook also talks about ranks in this universe at length, but O'Connor is about as close to the horses's mouth as you can get on Halo universe matters (He wrote multiple stories in universe[canon], and is a community/content manager guy)! For the sake of accuracy, I'd like to request someone reconsider this, especially since it's the first thing you see on the page.User:Dlobok  —Preceding undated comment added 06:23, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Picture 

message: I've removed the in-universe details from the infobox, as well as some blatantly incorrect information (Nylund played a large role in forming the character of Master Chief, but he is not the sole creator.) First off, none of this content is sourced; secondly, none of it demonstrates notability or why it is crucial to Wikipedia's use as a general-purpose encyclopedia and is undue coverage. The various names given to the Chief aren't so important that they need to be the first things readers skim; likewise, his precise height or place of origin aren't heavily discussed.
