IT'S ALIIIIIIIIIVE!!! · 5:13am Nov 27th, 2012
Hey there everypony, Nobreiner here. Just wanted to let all of you know that I'm still kickin' and that the next chapter of The Noble Guardians should be up pretty soon. It's a long one, and I kinda took Thanksgiving break off from everything, including writing, so sorry.
Anyway now that that's done, I just wanted to chat about something weird I noticed lately. Is it just me, or have Commanders replaced Sergeants as the new badass military officers? Think about it, Commander Carter, Commander John/Jane Shepard, Commander Thomas Lasky, Commander David Mason, Commander FREAKING JAMES BOND! It seems that now Commanders are the awesome military vets. Not that I'm complaining, it gives the badasses an excuse to be ordering more people around now. Anyway, I'll end this with a promise that the next chapter of The Noble Guardians will be up at the latest by friday. Peace!
PS: Commander David Mason is the player character and Alex Mason's son in Black Ops II, just FYI
Probably because commanders are more seasoned and are better leaders
It's because Sergeant Avery Junior Johnson filled the quota for "badass sergeant".
543899 Lets not forget about Sgt. John Forge or Gunnery Sgt. Pete Stacker. Both are badass sergeants in their own right.
544173 Sergeant Forge killed an Arbiter and killed himself with a slipspace drive.
Sergeant Johnson was a SPARTAN-1, was one of the few people to befriend the Master Chief, survived and escaped Halo by some unknown fourth wall-breaking ability, AND survived Flood infection for the sole fact that he was too badass to receive medical treatment from point-blank plasma grenade explosion.
Who's more badass?
544227 Forge picked a fight with a Spartan 2 and lived. He kills the Arbiter solo in hand to hand combat. He's also suspected of being a member of the Orion project or the Spartan ones as you call them. Is willing to sacrifice himself to ensure that the three Spartan 2s are able to continue doing their job because he knows that they will be needed.
You asked me who I think is more badass. I say its a goddamn tie.
544227
Actually, he found a Pelican and flew off. Read First Strike.
544559 Weird though that scene was in Halo 1, unless you can tell me how exactly he found a pelican and killed the elite while simultaneously escaping the blast radius of the PoA, be my guest.
Bite me, Eric.
544243 Ooo, but did you take into account that Johnson has a mustache? And he smokes cigars?
Checkmate.
544581 And is a complete copy of the sergeant in the second Alien movie. Also lets look at all of the stuff that Johnson does in the games shall we.
Game 1: Nothing
Game 2: Nothing until then where he gets captured and hijacks a Scarab with the help of the Arbiter.
Game 3: Once again Johnson doesn't really do anything until once again he gets captured and then he dies after shooting Spark once. Then he becomes a flood form.
Mustaches and cigars do not make you a badass. The charaters personality and the way they act is what make them a badass. Everything else is just decoration. Now am I saying Johnson isn't a badass? Fuck no. I'm just saying that he isn't the only one.
Of course if we take into account the book Johnson is in( The Cole Protocol) his badass rank edges Forges out by just a little bit. That book shows Johnson kicking the shit out of some Brutes to safe one of the unluckiest marines we have really never met. One Private Wallace A. Jenkins. Poor kid.

The bonus scene from the Legendary ending is non-canon.
544173>>544227 You both lose the only Badass is Chuck Norris(runs away and hides for making Norris joke)
544854>>544559 Perhaps I should quit with the thinly laced sarcasm after all...
