Why is it that Reach(a planet full of spartans) fell, yet 1 spartan kept earth from being destroyed?


Cortana said it best in the beginning of Halo 3.  During the opening cinematic she explains why John was so different than any other Spartan.

" They let me pick, did I ever tell you that?  Choose whichever Spartan I wanted.  You know me.  I did my research.  Watched as you became the soldier we needed you to be.  Like the others you were strong and swift and brave.  A natural leader.  But you had something they didn't.  Something no one saw....but me.  Can you guess?  Luck.  Was I wrong?"

Chief was amazing and greatest of all the Spartan II's.  But a good deal of what helped him on his journey was luck, or fate whichever way you see it.

OT:  The trailer is incredible, so moving.  Man I wish they would make a movie.
