after an elites shield has redused to zero after like half a mag of Mc's sub mashine gun it only punch to bring it down.
But the space pirate dies after like 5 of Sam's missiles.
An Elite's shield goes down after half a mag from an SMG? Maybe if you stop playing Halo on easy, noob. Either that or stop the gross exaggerations.
Your point giving that picture is?
A pirate is about half a foot taller than Samus, whose suit is rather body hugging than bulky(except for her shoulderpads, which house various secondary components of importance). Master Chief's armour is bulky but body hugging to allow freedom of movement, and Elites are about half a foot taller than the chief.
Samus is a woman with various cybernetical abilities, but none of the history sites I've read so far says that her height is boosted. So we can assume that she's a slightly taller lady, her height bolstered by the armour by an inch or two. Put two and two together, and Elites are slightly more in bulk.
So far we can only compare Pirate armor to Samus weapons. By the look of its chitinous skin, it's built to withstand blunt projectiles and blows, and a slightly refractive layer to counter energy weapons, although slightly.
(Samus's missiles are fired out of her arm cannon. An arm cannon can only be so bulky before it starts to be cumbersome and hampering. The missiles are designed to fit, so they would be smaller missiles, more compact. Of course it would take an whopping five, possibly more, to take out a Space Pirate; remember that the physics of a surface explosive is like an outward expanding fist. How could you compare an arm missile to one of the rockets from Halo's rocket launcher? It's shot with such speed that the launcher has to be braced with someone's shoulder. Bigger missile = more availability for explosive. Halo rockets are bigger, so = more explosive, more power.
Anyways, so the pirate armour is designed to take projectile weapons, but can it take on melee? Where in any game starring Samus(except for the Super Smash Brothers series) have you had the ability to pull off melee? All you do is shoot, shoot, shoot.
So an Elite would be wise to ditch all guns and whip out an energy sword. It's razor sharp and even better, heated to an incredible degree of heat. So unless a Space Pirate's Armour has a melting point of higher than 25 x 5800 K(assuming that the swordsman Elite is too clumsy to miss the exposed flesh) and can withstand laser-fine sharpness, Elite wins.

If u didnt notice, but I said "like". Plus that its kind of easy to understand what regular elite means, but I guess i'll have to spell it out to u: Regular elite as in Elite on (****ing easy) normal!
PS: all the difficulties on halo 2 are worthless, the GAME IS TOO ****ING EASY , so dont go calling me a noob! Punk you!
if I may.. that is not a space pirate... thats trace from metroid prime hunters... he's one of the hunters from the planet of a vicious insectoid empire...
(please log in to view the image)
Weavel - Used to be a Space Pirate General.. its unknown whether he seeks the artifact for his personal use, or to bolster the power of the space pirates
body hugging does not restrict movement..thats solely dependant on the material.. ever notice Olympic Gymnasts wearing loose clothing?.. I didnt think so
What do u mean by blows? Isnt a blow to the head a melee attack? Or were u reffering to something else?
So an missile as big as a space rocket would make more of an diffrence?
An bigger missile makes more damege? The size does not matter when it comes to missiles, what does matter is whats IN THEM, the kind of explosives!
What would would u like to get hit by? A charged up power beam or a punch?
If didnt notice Swe Bum's picture, Pirates have sharp weapons to.
PS: The open spots in theyr armour arent as big as those on the elites

Umm, no he didn't, he said that tight fitting armour in Samus's case wouldn't restrict her movement, then he drew a comparison.
do Gymnists wear loose fitting clothing while doing their routines? the answer is no, they do not. they wear skin tight suits to make sure that nothing gets in their way while doing complicated movements,

The Covenant Elite is a remarkable species with great physical strength and resilience: strong, fast, and extremely capable with proper training. They are bipeds and bear a superficial resemblance to humans from a distance, an illusion shattered upon closer inspection. In addition to standing at approximately 8' 6" when in a fully upright position, their head is more reptilian than humanoid closer to that of a reptile than a human, with a quadri-hinged mandibled mouth which opens at the bottom, hence the nicknames given to them by humans: "Split Chin" and "Squid Face." Elite torsos are similar to the torso of a human, although the chest and abdomen are much wider, almost twice that of a well-muscled human, and they also appear to have a double set of pectoral muscles and a more muscular back. Elite shoulders are nearly identical in structure to human shoulders, only longer in length and thicker. Their hands have four digits, two fingers and two opposable thumbs, which allow them to use most equipment designed for humans. (Conversely, this allows humans with the correct understanding to operate Covenant equipment.) The feet of Elites are digitigrade, which allows them to jump greater distances and run much faster than the human norm. The Elites' toe configuration resembles the cloven hooves of various Terran mammals; although Elites wear a soled boot, the overall shape of the "hooves" are still visible.
As Elites can survive on Earth with no respiratory equipment, they apparently breathe oxygen. Due to their lack of nostrils and constantly opened jaws, inhalation seems to occur entirely through the mouth. The Elite's body, muscles and skeleton also seem to be composed of similar materials to those of the human body, though probably tougher and with a shorter recovery time, owing to the Elite's higher evolutionary state; this can be especially seen in Halo 2, when the Arbiter recieves a bullet wound in the chest and recovers fully within the space of a few minutes, presumably due to the increased strength of an Elite's immune-defence system.

Yes, I noticed that you said 'like'. So unless the range you are referring to goes between "half a mag" to a "full mag" or "less than half a mag", I'm still assuming it's "half a mag".
A regular Elite? As in gameplay or story/physics? Guess we'll stick with story/physics. Which refers to legendary, as it is more realistic.
All the difficulties on Halo 2 are worthless? Yep, you've never played the game on legendary, have you. Stop making shit up.
Shadow x 20? Do you have a problem with reading? Well, it seems like it.
Cuz you just made yourself look even more stupid. And plz do NOT mix up "then" and "than"!
Yeah but, is realistics gonna help the Elite in this fight?No, it wont. Cuz in reality the space pirate would win, no sweat.
You can think what you want noob, i've played and cleared both games on legendary, so just cuz havent done that, doesnt mean that I havent to, now does it, noob?
I AM THE LEGENDARYAN!! ROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR!!!!
