      The existence of the Shaping Sickness is still relatively classified, so the only ones who know of his capture by the Gravemind would be able to award his medal. Even then, admitting a Spartan was captured, especially THE Spartan, would be a devastating blow to Human morale, be it during peacetime or war. - A message from His Imperial and Royal Majesty, Kaiser Wilhelm der Große.

    To add to the utter terror of that number: That is just from the tail-end of the war.
    Even if it's due to the fact all sides were tossing in the heaviest they've got left, John-117 had two and a half decades to raise that count. There's plenty of Covenant ships, stations, bunkers, space elevators, armadas, armies, and possibly even cities he would've had to blow up during the course of the war. We know Spartan-II Modus Operanti for finishing missions is blowing them the heck up.
    As others noted, Admiral Preston Cole and Grey Team reach his kill count, if not outright beat it, but he's one to willingly send himself into the mouth of hell so others don't have to... and somehow, survive and win.
    To add to it all, in Silent Storm, John-117 himself doesn't even believe he's the best -- simply the most famous one. The average Spartan is just as much of a beast.

Granted there's also the off chance he's basing it off of Halo's Earth which is 500 years in the future and known to have megacities that take up entire states of the US
      Edit: current population as of 2022 is just shy of 8 billion at 7.96 Billion so my earlier prediction could very much be wrong however the off chance i mentioned is still a decent possibility

    A minor count challenge (not that it will matter after seeing the total). For CE and 3, you probably should have subtracted any ground kills from the crew compliment of destroyed vessels since it is reasonable to assume that the combatants faced in gameplay were units sent from those ships. So you probably counted a few hundred twice since they were counted as killed on the ground by direct action, then recounted as part of the ship crews who would have died when their ships went down. Not to take anything away from the video, it is still a mind numbingly high tally and you went into excellent detail. You're a sucker for details though, so I just figured I'd add a few to consider for next time :)

    Does Master Chief canonically kill every enemy he comes across in the game or does he skip some based on the levels story? I always do when I play the game unless I'm doing a special run, but I feel like at certain moments in the campaign, Master Chief wouldn't waste time killing every enemy, like when truth activates the ark or during the didact's attack on earth.

      I'd say kill everything especially when marines are present in order for them not to get harmed, The 2 warthog runs, and maybe crow's nest(after you activate the bomb) as well the end of high charity would probably be the only places where he skips enemies. Prometheans would be too dangerous to skip since knights can teleport. And the brutes guarding Truth most of them had jetpacks so they could catch up Chief and Arby and flank them. In the cutscene where Chief activates the light bridge to Truth, it was eerily quiet so I doubt anyone was left alive to defend him.

    For CE, did you count the Truth and Reconciliation as a MC kill?
    Because of the 12 ships remaining, one of them was the T&R which was destroyed by Lieutenant McKay.
    Or maybe Cortana counted it as a kill in the cutscene since it sustained heavy damage?
    And the ship was also carrying quite a lot of PoA survivors so it skews the numbers a little.
