Can we get a new main image for this article? The existing image is fine, but it's off-colour and low quality.[[User:Rapturous|Rapturous]] 20:52, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

:Read the novels again...constantly, people reiterate that the Chief has unbelievable luck. -[[User:Azathoth|<font color="black">''theblackthrone''</font>]] [[User talk:Azathoth|<font color="black">_{(atthecenter)}</font>]]  [[Special:Contributions/Azathoth|<font color="black">_{(ofultimatechaos)}</font>]] 22:17, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

:The thing is, nobody really knows what makes 117 better than the other Spartans. He's not the strongest (Sam), the fastest (Kelly), the smartest (open for debate, but not John), the best leader (Kurt), the best sniper (Linda), the sneakiest (Anton and probably Gray Team as well), the most versatile (Fred), the best pilot (Joshua), the most determined (James), the most impulsive (Will), the best at demolitions (Grace), or the best at 0-G (Li). That doesn't really leave many areas, but John's best quality is, in my opinion, his ability to survive anything. ''Anything.'' He's incredibly resilient, true, but that's not mostly what I mean: quite apart from surviving through adversity, adversity just doesn't seem to touch him. He's lucky. Anyone who has played Halo or Halo 2 on Heroic will acknowledge that although it takes considerable skill to play through the whole campaign on Heroic without dying. But playing through ''both'' campaigns back to back without dying once not only takes extraordinary skill, there's a couple places where it's just down to dumb luck. In that regard, John is lucky, and that's why everyone says he's the best of the Spartans. -[[User:Azathoth|<font color="black">''theblackthrone''</font>]] [[User talk:Azathoth|<font color="black">_{(atthecenter)}</font>]]  [[Special:Contributions/Azathoth|<font color="black">_{(ofultimatechaos)}</font>]] 00:41, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, everyone thought the real cutscene was from Sierra 117. Without the film of the guy playing around with the UI, we would still think that. [[User:Blue Ninja|Blue Ninja]] 19:46, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

*Where does the transcript of this level come from? Can somone provide a link to the video? ---[[User:Commander Jake|CT-5619]] ^{[[User talk:Commander Jake|helmet comlink]]}

We're lucky. We don't suffer the pain, go through the mental trauma and physical anguish, and we go back when we die. But in reality, assuming our playthrough is what really happened and is seamless, without the reversion after each death, then that's pretty incredible. No other Spartan in his situation could have destroyed the first Halo, and probably wouldn't have survived the second, nor the drop. Halo 3 eludes to facts written in the books, each of which has been checked to ensure consistency with the Halo "bible" that keeps all info on the Halo universe. Point is, John is the most generic Spartan, nothing too special, but almost as a way to make up for it, he tends to be able to survive in situations where most people's luck would run out.

== Forerunner Ship? ==

Does anyone else think the other fireball coming down at the beginning that isn't coming towards the camera is the Forerunner Ship?[[User:Trooper117|Trooper117]] 23:11, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
