old people rule, they're already wiser and smarter and more experienced then us "youngins", and now they're more badass as well.

Actually, in Contact Harvest they basically confirmed Johnson was a Spartan-I. The Spartan-I project was codenamed ORION, and at one point in the book it shows a listing of Johnson's Operations. ORION is on there. Also, later in the book, al-Cygni confirms he was in ORION, to which Johnson replies that its classified. Sorry, had to let my Halo nerd out for a minute. Also, I can't believe Bungie killed Johnson with Guilty Spark. WTF??? I know he shouldn't be in the Top 7, but Chaps from Gears of War would be a good addition to the list.

Even though this isn't that much into computer gaming what about John Mullins from Soldier of Fortune 1 and 2? He kicked a lot of ass, and prevented nuke launches.

if bill wasn't on here i would leave the website immediatly and for grandma it would be awesome. ps: johnson is a homo who was scared of grunts so he hid behind his men, order the chief around while he was relaxing, and got fucking captured everytime he was actually out in battle.

I chuckled at Heihachi. I was actually thinking of Wang from Tekken though.

@Turkykilla7 Snakes mind was in his 40s but his body was the age of like a 70 year old. Not 45-50. My dad's 50 and he looks 30 years younger than Old Snake.
