"Snake could use the stealth camo and sneak behind them and break their necks"
Snake can snap titanium!!! now thats impressive... (Mc has bone graphs like wolverine not as strong though, but near unbreakable)
"Snake would win because he only need to use Stinger or Sniper."
25th century weapons can do that to MC but not 21th weaponry used by snake.
The whole he could snipe from a mile off is rubbish as MC could do that and so could tommy. its the same for stingers.......
MC would detect snake with his radar... MC can get a cloak aswell. If snake machine gunned him, MC would have enough time to laugh at him, make a cuppa, and then shoot him before his shields would collapse
Actually MC didn't have cloak... and the active cammo pickup is temporary whereas the Stealth cammo from any of the metal gear solid series is practically unlimited.
And Snake has other ways to defeat optic stealth camoflage (Thermal goggles)
However, MC is just too much of an opponent for even Snake to defeat, the amility to run at 45MPH and the strength to lift 50+ tonns are both damn impressive feats for melee combat, and the Earth's 25th century weapons more than outmatch Snakes weapons (Though not by much when you compare them to Covenant weaponry,)
Yes, snake may be able to sneak up on MC (Even though the Motion Tracker would pick up Snake in most cases), but what could Snake actually do to MC once he got into a good position? Shooting him with anything bar a shotgun or an explosive weapon is nigh on useless. and melee CQC is utterly as worthless as trying to stop a tidal wave by shooting it with a water pistol...
It should be IC then. IRON CHEF DESTROYS ALL! By poisoned (insert custom, delectable dish here).
Seriously though, Snake is nowhere near the better fighter, or the more resourceful combatant... I can't say I'm a big Halo fan, but I give credit where the credit is due.
GUNS: Master Chief can dodge handgun shots pretty easily. Machine guns are a problem, but what do you do.
ARMOR: Snake doesn't have much. Bullets won't do a whole lot to Master Chief for a while. You forget that his shields take plasma and all that. Snake can unload for minutes and probly not kill MC. Chief, on the other hand, needs somewhere in the ballpark of 3 good shots.
H2H: Chief lifts somewhere around 10 tons. (see Preds vs. Elites, That's all his strength feats can really account for) He's been trained since he was 6. First person shooters do not allow for martial arts, but Chief is plenty good.
INTELLIGENCE: Hello, my name is Master Chief, SUPER GENIUS. Wile E. Coyote hasn't got crap. Yep. Running, shooting, advanced calculus... Chief does it all. Couple that with enhanced reactions and you have the best on-the fly strategist this side of Samus Aran 😉. (sorry, had to)
In summary... Chief's physically better in every way. His training is better. His guns are better, his armor is better. He's smarter, he's faster, he has less of that annoying "personality" stuff. (yes, the last one's sarcasm) Snake has NOTHING in this fight. Not a single exploitable advantage of any kind. Chief blasts em both 10/10.
