There is no argument in admitting how the Halo franchise has one of the largest fan bases across the globe when it comes to video games. The series and its characters have managed to have a huge impact on not only who experienced the game, but the gaming industry as a whole.
The main protagonist of the game, Master Chief, is an icon not only in the game’s fan base but the pop and entertainment culture as a whole. Unfortunately, many often forget the existence of one soldier, who was considered to be deadlier than Master Chief himself and paved the path for humanity to continue living till his very last breath.
The Only Spartan That Forced The Covenants To Glass An Entire Planet In Halo, And It’s Not Master Chief
We are talking about none other than Noble 6, a spartan character who was explored in the Halo: Reach game that came out back in 2010. He is an iconic character which many players look up to even today, due to his sacrifice in the final moments of the game.
For those who might not know, Noble 6 was the only spartan left standing on a planet that humanity had abandoned as they lost the hope to defend it against the covenants. As the faction believes in the honor system, the Elites chose to send their army individually to the planet in order to take out the last soldier.
However, with the fight lasting over 6 hours, he managed to defeat every single soldier that was sent by the covenants to kill him. In the end, the opposing faction was left with no choice but to glass the whole planet, finally ending the reign of Noble 6.
Being someone who took out an entire army by himself and forced the Covenants to resort to glass the whole planet to defeat him, Noble 6 is a character that has gained immense respect over the years, rightfully so. Unfortunately, the recent Halo Season 2 failed to give him the due credit that he deserves to receive for being one of the most iconic characters in the series.
Social Media Post Finally Reminds Halo Fans Of The Forgotten Spartan
As stated before, Noble 6 remains one of the most iconic soldiers in the whole Halo franchise. While he might not be as popular as the main protagonist, Master Chief. He still often gets referenced by users online, and one such post was by this Instagram user, with the comments filled with nothing but appreciation for the last soldier that defended planet Reach.
“Friendly reminder that Noble 6 canonically fought for over 6 hours and the elites kept fighting him instead of glassing the planet with him on it out of respect.”

“Noble 6 was the only Spartan III considered hyper lethal threat & shared HLV classification with THE master chief. He is the baby goat”
-@mikeyinthemix
“The final mission wasn’t for you, it was for the covenant.”
-@ajspike2603
“My brother was telling me they made his survival canon in a book. I refuse to check because in my headcanon he lived”
-@sgs.emmett
“Noble six really was John wick of 2556”
-@stn_xma
For many players, Halo: Reach is their favorite installment out of the whole franchise, and that is because of the legacy it carries of Noble 6. Fans over the years have anticipated a return to his character, hoping that he would have survived the glassing somehow, but it has been to no avail.
