Have you watched Halo on Paramount Plus? Master Chief is Spartan 117. I didnt play the game but was he 117 there too? In the TV show the point is made prominently throughout. I find it interesting because what I have watched so far he seems to be someone who has broken through the brainwashing and is now fighting against a corrupt system based on forever wars.
The first episode he saves a childs life after he has been ordered to execute her. She asks him why and he says he doesnt know why. Then he asks her if she would save a child under similar circumstance and her answer is yes and the why is because its the right thing to do. And he replies that maybe thats why he did it too.
"John-117 was originally named by Eric Trautmann as a reference to the biblical verse Revelation 1:17, which reads as follows according to the New Revised Standard Version of the text: "When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he placed his right hand on me, saying, 'Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last'."[170] The author of this biblical text names himself "John" within it. According to Trautmann, this identifier was a the origin of one of many "huge fights" between himself and Bungie concerning ideas which came out of the writing sessions of the Halo Story Bible, a work originally constructed by he, Brannon Boren, and Matt Soell"
And there were 17 flags! 😉
