The protagonist of Mass Effect takes on Halo's Master Chief for the title of Xbox badass.

Shepard is a Vanguard for this match-up. Vanguards are soldiers with mixed training in biotics and firearms for use in assault. Biotics are genetical implants that grant the wielder super-natural powers such as casting powerful barriers, throw objects meters, warp, hold opponents in stasis for extended periods of time among other powers I currently forget. They prefer to cast their biotics to render their victims defenseless and then finish them off with a shotgun to the face.

Shepard will also have a Sniper Rifle, pistol and Assault rifle. (He can actually carry all of them at the same time in the game so no complaining) He will have cryo grenades. He has shields as well and can replenish them with his biotics.

Shepards background will be earthborn and a War Hero--holding off an entire unit until reinforcements arrived.

Against this Spectre is The Master Chief who is armed with his trusty Assault Rifle and a energy sword. He will also have 2 frags, plasmas and spike grenades. The Chief will have a bubble shield and regenerator.

Lets rock.

Master Chief. Chief pwns all.

Do you know anything about Shepard, or did you just blindly rush in to root for the Chief?

I want to play Mass Effect, but I havent gotten the chance.

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...................*runs out of room* Barely Audible "MASTER CHIEF FOREVER!"

Thing is...not only is MC stronger, faster, more durable, and at least as skilled as Shepard, but can actually replicate some of the Biotic powers from Shepard. I'm still fairly early in the game, but unless he gets a major powerup, MC takes him with little trouble.

Commander Shepard as a Vanguard

If shepard were an adept in this matchup, id say chief doesnt have a chance. As a vanguard, i dont see chief having much trouble taking shepard down

You got the game? Sweet. The game's awesome. Your character will be a force to reckon with when you reach the higher levels(45+) Sometimes I've seen some of my Biotic users to freeze, and even battlefield remove opponents in just a matter of seconds. The character will not get an exponential power boost, but a gradual one as you powerup. Needless to say only after having started another playthrough as a level 2 do I realize how powerful I had become. By the way do keep in mind Shepard does have a Sniper Rifle, which is powerful enough to pierce througha Geth Colossus's shield and durable armor with little trouble. Shepard also has the cryogrenades which can freeze the Chief on the spot, and can actually be placed strategically since Shepard can decide whenever he wants them to explode. The Chief is only armed with the Assault Rifle and the energy sword for a reason...I knew this wouldn't fare too well if he was given any power weapon, but IMO Shepard can last for a while since he will definitely use his biotic powers to avoid a head on confrontation with the mighty green giant.

As of now Shepard will be whatever class he needs to be in order to win. I only chose Vanguard because it's the second class I've gotten to play as(And I'm still starting) and my first playthrough was as an Infiltrator, and I realize he won't fare good as an Infiltrator since these guys rely more on Tech traps and Sniper Rifles.

Anyways.

The Chief wins due to this video, sorry to spam your thread SBP.

I'm a Vanguard right now. I will take back my opinion, I guess I don't know quite enough about Shepard in the later game...tho put MC in my hands with an Energy Sword...Shepard dies...

But you suck terrible terrible ass at Halo..

I think you're confused, as I was bulldozing your mother. As such, you're actually my child.

SBP could you possibly post some feats of Shepards? I don't have the game yet.
