Chiefs 7 Greatest Feats - Lore and Theory

[@Mr_Wholegrain]

Saying Chief eye-balled giving the Covies back their bomb along with him crashing into Amber Clad like a fly against a windshield makes Johnson's comment even funnier.

[@IAsimov]

Judging by the book Silent Storm revealing how he's known John-117 ever since he was 14, I think by that point, Sgt. Johnson KNOWS he's alright. Since he chides John-117 in Halo 3 for 'always jumping', he thinks it's a bad habit. In which case, if John-117 DOES jump a lot, then it means his luck also classifies as a fecking superpower.

[@Christopher_Pug]

@@ryanparker4996 Yes! We have gotten the tip of the iceberg with that explanation. But it's not just his skill that makes him seem so impossibly lucky. It's the fact that all of this -- all of it, every Halo game, every story, every book -- has already happened. The Luck is not just enhanced skill and prowess, it's literally muscle memory from former "attempts" he's made to stop the Flood. The Forerunner trapped the Xalanyn in Zeta Halo because they can escape the true nature of the Halos: to reset the clock of the universe and start over. It's the only way to stop the Flood -- find the grand equation that finally stops them with the Chief as an ever-improving variable, fighting the fight over and over again... Until we finish it.

[@echo1180]

One of the reasons why Chief is one of the best Spartans is because even though he wasn’t the best at anything, he was very proficient in everything. Meaning he was the most well rounded Spartan, sure you could be the strongest or fastest and that would help, but if you are “bad” at other things and just have one ace up your sleeve that makes you vulnerable. Chief was a jack of all trades, which is why he’s still alive today.

Master chief basically soloed the banished, not the whole force, but in infinites campaign he pretty much solos them, the Spartan killers, the highly decorated elites and brutes of the banished, and in a short amount of time, if I’m not mistaken the actual story only technically took like 8 hours or so at the point after killing hyperious and the other brute.

Something else to consider with Chief making hand-holds in the Dawn's hanger; when he hit In Amber Clad's in Halo 2, it's implied he dented but didn't puncture the hull with his velocity and impact. If the hanger's floor is made of the same material as the hull, which to be fair it might not be, that would make his punches possibly stronger than his body impacting at over 100 meters per second. Or at least it might be a more focused amount of energy over a smaller object impacting, a fist vs a body etc.

[@MarcusWolfWanders]

I'd assume the force-multiplying aspects of his Mjolnir armor didn't depend on the neural interface. The armor/exoskeleton can sustain 6's weight easily without the neural aspect. Including the helmet and neural interface in the mix would only serve to increase the reaction time of both the wearer and the armor, the strength of the system overall is independent of that.

Chief full on tanks the 1st gravity hammer swing from Atriox in the opening Cutscene of Infinite. Often there are "blink and you'll miss it moments" in the cutscenes of the games. Like in Halo 5 he's able to rip Locke's Battle Rifle (which are mostly titanium construction like other unsc guns) Out of his hands and break it over his helmet faster than he could react. If you look closely, chief winds up slowly on nearly all of his attacks, likely in a deliberate choice to try and not intentionally hurt him, an extremely valuable Unsc Asset in his eyes. He already laments the unintentional loss of those odst's he killed. And even when locke hit him seemingly as hard as he could, it only cracked the outermost layer of his visor, and really just pissed him off even more than before.... wow i kinda rambled a bit there.

Chief sees all Spartans as family, even the Spartan IVs. He was absolutely using the minimum force required to prevent Locke from using the armour lock, without hurting him. Curious that Locke thought his pistol would be able to penetrate Chief's helmet. Maybe with the crack he managed to put in it would have weakened it enough

[@maddogs1989]

There is nothing in lore that states that firearms are made out of Titanium. First this is actually pretty fucking stupid as Titanium has a far lower steering point then steel. In fact this is the reason why it's not used alot as armor. It's hard to form. The harder material tends to shatter from impacts fast when stretched and tends to Crack faster than steel from blows. How do I know this? I joust and sword fight and have armor made out of Titanium and know its limits and what it's good at as well as how it handles stress. Essentially Titanium is good until it isn't. Meaning unlike steel it will resist stress and hold up fine with out noticeable damage until it shatters. Steel holds up far better over a longer period of time. Now the likely hood of reaching this point is slim it's hard to tell. This is why in buhurt fighting Titanium armor is not allowed.

[@silverbackxxx7]

@@maddogs1989 I Can't really express an opinion on the usefulness of modern day Titanium Alloy's in weapons and Armor as i don't have that kind of mechanical knowledge, but Almost All Weapons of the UNSC Arsenal, the MA5 Series of Assault Rifles as example, are constructed out of Titanium-A, the Same Titanium that is used as warship construction of Titanium-50 that has been Moleculerly Strengthened.

Everyone's talking about Master Chiefs Greatest Feats but what they aren't talking about is one of His Greatest Weaknesses and that is: The ledges that were 15ft-20ft high in Halo Combat Evolved, Couldn't even survive a 20ft drop off of a Forerunner structure but can survive falling from space lol.

[@Hybred]

Tearing a tendon doesn't hurt at all by the way, you can't feel it. Your leg just gives out completely from the weight of your body, thus it can easy break your leg and ankle as you unexpectedly fall and that would hurt

[@davidwelch9179]

The armor automatically takes over all movement for him in that leg. Therefore the armor is moving not his leg. It doesn't make sense but that's what happens.

[@justinoliver4053]

Says alot about how powerful chief is...but also says how powerful Atriox is as well.

[@janoschn6852]

And he is one of the most lethal spartans

[@Plastikdoom]

I’m pretty sure he woulda punched through the frigates hull, seems how his punch can go through the deck plates, if he really wants too.

[@AdamKafei]

UNSC hull armour is entirely different to the floor of a cargo bay, watch one of the most detailed ship breakdowns, I'm not sure without the maths if it has enough force mitagation capability to take a hit from a spartan at that speed if said spartan intends to break it, but if they don't I see no reason why it shouldn't be possible.

[@AdamKafei]

@Raheem Stephens Anything is possible, we know brutes favour kinetic weapons (especially their fists) and are prone to conflict with eachother, seems reasonable they would design armour to protect against kinetic energy, the question then I suppose is: "How does a spartan's punch compare to a brute's?" Afterall there's no point in trading mobility for armour that can't do the job it's designed to.

11:40, Not only is that scene the only time we've seen the Halo boosting it's energy-system drawing vacuum energy from around the ring when priming to fire, it's also the only time we've actually seen a halo fire. Oh, and some credit due to the Arbiter there, he seem to quickly gotten into the UNSC ship's bridge and managed to control the ship, not easy. What am I on about it's a video game.. lol

[@nathangothan601]

Isn’t it inaccurate calling 117 average or run-of-the-mill? I thought Dr. H had given him additional augmentation after his early success that many of the other S2’s didn’t receive.

[@lonelystarboy]

Where did you hear that?

[@generalgrievousproductions]

@@lonelystarboy your mom

[@mbraxt11]

Only other character I know of that went though something you described was geralt from the witcher. Chief was one of the few who received additional augmentations more out of time and being one of the few spartans left in action, and most of them were armor ones.

[@QGarrison]

Mostly healing augmentations but if you ask him about it he says its classified

[@thesurvivalist.]

Yep!

[@spegaa2-994]

Love you man

[@overlords2722]

The spartan that has the plot armour.

[@DivineHellas]

I would say that chief was the fastest. Not physically, but when executing and fighting, because there are many aspects which determines how swift you are aside from just the physical aspect of it.

[@QGarrison]

I mean he has the most completed ops of any unsc personnel spartan or otherwise. He never stops.

[@maddogs1989]

Except Chief himself states multiple times even when fighting that ge could touch Kelly if she didn't want him too.

[@QGarrison]

@@maddogs1989 She has the fastest speed and reflexes by far. Only thing she was slower at than cheif was quick decision making he and Fred had her beat in that regard.

[@maddogs1989]

@@QGarrison Actually Fred is very well known in the lore to question himself and not make quick decisions when Snags in the plan happen. This is also because Fred is not confident in his abilities and doesn't want to be the center of attention. Conversely John is very, very competitive. These two are good at tactics. Still doesn't help them trying to touch Kelly let alone beat her in a fight. John himself states he only can when she let's him. If you are trying to imply that Kelly can't make quick decisions or something along that line you're also dead wrong. John excels at being a good leader and taking responsibility for his team. When compared to other Spartans he is very very middle of the road in his abilities. Strength, speed, and skill. He knows how to effectively apply others skills and he's well rounded to the point he doesn't have negative traits.

[@QGarrison]

@@maddogs1989 Fred questions himself but when it counts Fred can formulate in a clutch cheif has lost to his leadership enough times to make that obvious. Kelly has to slow herself to spar with other spartans yes but the y cant touch her because she keeps hee distant. Kelly strike and go is univaled but if she legit had to take down Chief alone I do not see that going her way.

[@J.C136]

With the giving them back their bomb one k thought it was implied that cortana &/or hood are coordinating resources so he could do that, like having the long sword strike & im amber clad being exactly at the right place

[@ericcruz8831]

Where can I see that alternative scene of Chief giving the covenant back their bomb from this video?

[@mr.potato5160]

Chief is the run of the mill spartan 2. Spartan 2s wipe out armies, 3s turn the tides of battles, and 4s are just better marines.

[@bmxdude1337]

That line will always make me smile. I fucking love Halo.

[@shadowrunner2323]

Good video, but about the luck thing with the "Giving the covenant back their bomb" thing, didn't you make a video about how Chief wasn't lucky, specifically mentioning that scene? I have to agree some luck was involved, but I agree with that vid, Cortana and combined arms probably helped.

[@crusader7eth163]

5:00 150-170 mph (chief falling) is him reaching terminal velocity😉

[@einar_476]

I'd argue he was more than likely traveling faster than terminal velocity at the beginning of Halo 3 because he jumped from the powered descent of the ship.

[@SgtDaza1997]

I wonder how impressive is noble 6, I know he fell from space and only suffered a temporary injury to right arm and was limping

[@Enaccul]

Idk why, but I always assumed that the longsowrds were ordered to tail or assist the chief, which is why they blew the hole for him

[@werr3222werrr]

Chief fell injury free too which is insane

[@vexxen8232]

for a brick her flew pretty good is mi favorite quote

[@RossR23]

He was the quintessential grey man. “Luck.” Was the deciding factor.

[@inkedseahear]

I'll just copy and paste someone else's comment regard Chief above Earth: """ I love the implication of the whole "give back their bomb" scene is that someone got a flight path worked up for the chief to know where he was going to be at roughly what time, pulled 2 longswords from the orbital battle with nothing more than the orders of "clear a path," they do that, and THEN inform Commander Keyes to move In Amber Clad into roughly this position at roughly this time with just the message "Catch him." """" And another person who raised a good point about how Cortana likely would have coordinated the entire thing, from estimating the most probably location of the carrier's path, pulling the longsword for a bombing run, telling In Amber Clad where to go.

[@demianv751]

yet he let Locke break his visor and throw him around, i was like what a bunch of bs lol

[@lmeza1983]

I have the impression that the Spartan armours should be bigger, that they need servo motors and pistons to operate but not to be seen anywhere. Do they carry a portable nuclear plant? Do they need to eat? Do they need to take a shit? Or even an oxygen tank? If not I don't think augmentations alone can make a human lift half a ton and dance like a bailarina.

[@zatoby6705]

Spartan armor is quite literally space magic by our understanding of science. They are powered by compact fusion reactors the size of an ipad tablet and the augmentation system is a type of liquid muscle fiber that basically has no upper limit on how much it can augment their strength since it multiplies all the exertions of the user. Spartans are cathederized and the suit recycles all their waste products.

[@djcuevas1057]

I'm gonna have to contest that bomb jump. Chief can mentally order his onboard computer top make the calcs for that.

[@amdkillaplays]

And he had Cortana with him, who is perfectly capable of trillions of astrogation calculations per second
