Is anyone immune to the Flood in Halo?

No one is truly immune to the Flood, but some, like Sergeant Johnson, have significant resistance due to modified biology (his Spartan-I augmentations scrambled his nervous system), making infection difficult, not impossible; while Master Chief's Mjolnir armor offers physical protection, but the Flood's core infection (spores/infection forms) can still get through if armor is breached, though he's generally protected in-game by mechanics and lore about spore density. Other species like Hunters (composed of worms) or Engineers (Huragok) have unique biology that hinders infection or makes them less useful biomass.

Are Spartans immune to the flood?

No, Spartans aren't truly immune, but they possess significant resistance due to genetic enhancements (Spartan-I) or armor/skills (Spartan-II/III/IVs), making infection very difficult but not impossible, with infected Spartans becoming terrifying, powerful combat forms, especially older models where the Flood can corrupt Mjolnir armor. Sergeant Johnson (Spartan-I) showed partial immunity, but later generations are less resistant, though still formidable targets.

What is Master Chief's lifespan?

Master Chief (John-117) isn't explicitly stated to have a hard limit, but his Spartan-II augmentations likely extend his lifespan significantly, potentially to well over 100, maybe even 200 years, despite the physical toll of war, as Spartans age slower and have enhanced durability, though he faces risks like PTSD and injuries from constant combat. He's chronologically in his late 40s by Halo Infinite, but biologically much younger due to cryo-sleep, making him a long-lived super-soldier.

Is the 300 Spartans a true story?

Yes, the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BCE with King Leonidas and his Spartans was real, but the "300" refers specifically to the core Spartan contingent, not the entire Greek force, which numbered around 7,000 men, including 700 Thespians who famously stayed for the last stand with the Spartans against the massive Persian army.
