Talk:Avery Johnson

age

How come Johnson is so strong for a marine if he is almost 80? Nemesis645 07:03, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Because he's a Spartan-I and because he probably skipped a bunch of years with frequent voyages into Slipspace, where there's time-distortion. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 08:24, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

I think it's cause he is a SPARTAN I, the whole slipspace thing and it also might have something to do with the regenerative abilities he got from the flood therefore making his cells regenerate (?) faster making him age slower or not at all (?). Helljumper94 23:39, 4 January, 2008

ok it says he was born before 2480 so wouldn't that make him 72 or older? how come he doesn't look so old?Yuhi33 03:02, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Good point. Elite's Rule 00:42, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Same reason MC is in his early 40's but physically in his 20's. All to do with space travel and the fact that humans can live up to 150 now. —This unsigned comment was made by 220.233.5.176 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

It's true that human lifespan is increasing, with advances in medical understanding. But there's no evidence that humans live that long in the 2500's, or that Johnson is old enough for it to apply. Rather, I think that Johnson does look his age. In Halo 3, he's suddenly accrued a bald spot and a lot of wrinkles, which may indicate a physical retcon of the Sarge's appearance by Bungie. --Councillor Specops306 - Qur'a 'Morhek 06:33, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

That is pure speculation. Do you have any proof people live that long in 2552? I doubt he was born in 2472, There's no way he was 80 in the Halo games. 2500 seems far more likely.

It would't make sense for him to be born in 2500 either, because I'm sure they don't recruit two year olds, give them sniper rifles that use Gauss, and assassinate a well known rebel leader. More than likely, he was born sometime in the 2400s.112 03:34, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Possible trivia

In December of 2005, there was a killed-in-action African-American Master Sergeant named A. Johnson. Though this is probably coincidence, should this be noted? Out of the 3,200 dead soldiers in the Iraq War (which is a disappointment of a war if you ask me), the odds are low for an African-American solder to be be ranked as a Master Sergeant and have the initial "A." with the last name of "Johnson".

• No. For one thing, he was a Master Sergeant, not a Sergeant Major. For another, he's dead. I don't think that fighting for his country earns him a mention in a trivia section. Specops306, Kora 'Morhek 01:36, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh phooey, I always get the ranks of Master Sergeant and Sergeant Major mixed up. I don't mean to mention that the guy in Iraq died, I mean to mention the coincidence of name and rank, like they do on the Marcus Banks article. Template:Signatures/Chiafriend12 03:55, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean, he wasn't a Sergeant Major? They called him that several times in Halo 3. —əґыţєґιιб ^TALK • _{CONTRIBUTIONS} • ^AWARDS

Video

Hi, I started a video showing Johnson's abilities in the image & video gallery. I'm inviting anyone who wants to join! Right now it's more of an introduction to the character, I think we can add more clips and photos to visualize him and improve the article. JonaR 14:44, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

YEAH he would whoop mc's ass!!!!!!! GO JOHNSON!!!! —This unsigned comment was made by 12.77.178.116 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

Why exactly is this even here? And sign your posts! While I agree hes one of the best none-MC characters, this page is for talk about the content of the article, not your opinions. Even if our a guest, signing tells when you posted.Papayaking 20:39, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Name

"Junior" is his middle name, hence the "Avery J. Johnson", not "Avery Johnson J.". Go to Halo Graphic Novel, Page 122, hit cntrl+F (this works for Mozilla Firefox, but I don't know about other internet browsers), and enter "Johnson" in the pop-up search bar. If you scroll through all times the word "Johnson" is used, it's always as a last name, not a middle. Any time "Junior" is used, it's a middle name, not a last name. Template:Signatures/Chiafriend12 02:55, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorted out in #Halopedia. Template:Signatures/Chiafriend12 03:11, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

• If we're using Junior like it is in Martin Luther King Junior, maybe we should move the page to Avery Johnson Jr.?--CT-5619 ^{helmet comlink} 21:25, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

His full name is Avery Johnson Junior. Trust me, I'm a junior too. :P -- Sgt.johnsonFile:General-gr1.gif 21:26, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

• If Junior is his real last name, then why does he identify himself as "Avery J. Johnson" in First Strike, and referred to in Contact Harvest as "Staff Sergeant Johnson" instead of Staff Sergeant Junior?--CT-5619 ^{helmet comlink} 22:41, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

... Junior is a title, not a last name. -- Sgt.johnsonFile:General-gr1.gif 22:50, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Is it known that the article and the discussion page have different names??? Please reach consensus and move accordingly. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 08:39, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Height

Yo, can we get a reference for his height of 5'11?

Oh, and PS, no way he died in 2553. -- Sgt.johnsonFile:General-gr1.gif 01:38, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

How could he have not died in 2553? I'm not trying to say you're wrong, but you showed no reason he couldn't've died in 2553. Template:Signatures/Chiafriend12 02:36, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Halo 3 was in November/December 2552, as it took place only two weeks after Halo 2. -- Sgt.johnsonFile:General-gr1.gif 02:42, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I was under the impression it took place after an unspecified amount of time after Halo 2. I guessed three to four months. Where does it say that? I'd like to update my perspective on Halo's timeline. Template:Signatures/Chiafriend12 02:46, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Halo: Uprising. Oh, and according to 306, it occurs around November 9th. -- Sgt.johnsonFile:General-gr1.gif 02:47, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Locked?

How long is this article planned to be locked? There's several organizational things that need fixed on it.

Yeah, and there is a error; '=Early Life'. How are we meant to fix it if it is locked?

343 Rampancy

Guilty Spark did not go rampant. He was programmed to protect the Halo at all costs. His "eye" only changed to red because that is the colour it becomes when he uses his lazer/beam weapon. Unfortunately, since this article is locked, there is no way to fix this mistake. Edmonton guy 22:58, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Safe mode in Halo 1

Hey, if you play halo 1 in safe mode on the PC, you can't see his eyes. kiol7890

yeah you can. Bioniclepluslotr 17:23, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Cleanup?

This article needs cleaning up? I think it's pretty well organized. Bioniclepluslotr 17:23, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

New Image

I think the current image is kind of dark, as he looks like he's in the shadow. Can anyone get a brighter image of him? BPL 01:30, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

I got a picture of him using a Warthog turrent clad in a ODST Body Suit. I got it from Bungie.net but I really dont know how to post pictures--Ashing shot 04:47, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Wort wort wort.

• Well, I wasn't quite sure I believed it when I read that Johnson's "Go, go, go!" was reversed to make "Wort, wort, wort!" So, I checked it out via sound clips.

And proved it.

Here's the vid I made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyjS3pxCno0

Rank

I don't think Johnson was a Staff Sergeant for 27 years. I think it was more due to the fact that we didn't know what his rank change was over that period of time, and that he was more likely something like a First Sergeant due to his experience and reputation. Besides, you don't get a lot of promotions from a junior Sergeant to a senior one after a three-decade delay. —əґыţєґιιб ^TALK • _{CONTRIBUTIONS} • ^AWARDS

It could be possibly that he got demoted. And just because you've been in the Marines for a long time doesn't mean you get promoted, it requireds leadership.

And certain requirements have to be met to get promoted.
