It’s important that Master Chief—John, is average among his peers in the majority of skills/talents. Very important, it’s something that Fall of Reach begins and shockingly Halo 3 picks up directly.

I like to write and flesh out Spartan IIs, their community, how they are as people, so to me I think about this semi often. John is the vehicle in which he perceive the spartans in their foundational texts(outside onyx), and it’s illuminating about John’s narration and POV is how highly he rates his fellow spartan.

It ironically makes John seem like the everyman among these hyper skilled, ridiculously qualified soldiers, despite being the one they all rely on.

It’s crucial that John heavily relies on and leans on his spartans for support, team comes before everything. This is why Reach(book reach, game reach can jump off a bridge) is a catastrophic disaster to him and every other spartan, because he is losing that entire support system.

The Master Chief of Halo CE-3 is winging this, he’s in the worst state of his life, he’s never been a lone soldier like this. He could rely on Linda for overhead, Anton to scout for him, Fred to juggle marine personnel, James to cover point(here’s evidence for that last one)

What makes the loss of these people important is how John physically cannot be everyone of his teammates at once, while others see the invincibility master chief, John knows distinctly how he’s underperforming—how things used to be.
