one lucky spartan. is very hard to come by he got through all those enemies, all the halo games, and canonically a plasma pistol can kill him in one shot at point blank it is his LUCK. that got him through He may be one of the most skilled spartans, and it's even implied that he is one of the 2 best ("only one other spartan has that rating....") But he is certainly not high enough above the rest to be some sort of god He felt that Frederic and perhaps even linda were as good, if not better. Maybe he was modest, but even so, that shows he's not too far above the rest Sam died in combat on their first mission with the mk 4 armor, before any encounter with the elites Red team took heavy casualties even before the glassing of reach. This shows that they are not gods. So luck must have played a huge part in Master chief's success Anyway, regardless of infantry skill, I go back to my main argument. Spam halos. Spam sentinels (the ones that make up onyx). Spam star roads. Everyone else can just hide inside shield worlds
