Master Chief vs Samus Aran

Dang, this is a long thread. When it comes down to it, both of these characters are a bit higher physically than humans. Their real durability, strength, and speed comes from technology. That being the case, the fight should come down to who has got the better tech (ie. dexterity, weapon power, durability, sensors)

Honestly, this fight seems really even (which explains why the thread is so long). I'm willing to give Samus slightly greater odds based on her supposed ability to absorb more damage. I give Samus 6/10, unless someone can convince me John 117's weapons have significantly greater power than Samus's.

Samus would still win easily. Her weapons are 100 times more powerful than anything chief has. It is like comparing a musket to a sub machine gun. The Chozo outfitted Samus's suit with the most advanced weaponry that they knew of. Her weapons are far superior to chiefs pathetic little machine guns. Besides one rocket would kill chief anyway and by the way he could not dodge it because it homes in on him. If anything Samus could just use the sonic boom which travels at the speed of sound and impacts instantly.

Fanboyism + Hyperbole = shitty argument.

I agree... Though Samus's weapons are more advanced. Because they somehow incorporate a near-infinite supply of energy into a very, very small arm cannon. The cannon in itself, which adapts and upgrades all but automatically, is also quite a feat in weapon tech. She's even got Super Missiles with homing capabilites, for that extra cheap-advantage-in-a-fight crunch. Basically, anything he has, she can match or exceed.

Samus wins, due to the fact that she posesses superior armor and weaponry, while Chief edges her slightly in the physical aspects.

You can call me whatever you like, but you still haven't beaten any of my arguments. True, I may have been a little rash in calling SA's weapons 100's of times more powerful than MC's. Even so she is far more advanced and has stronger weapons than the chief. Besides what the heck is he going to do when he runs out of ammo for the three guns that he can carry. On most planets spare clips and guns don't just appear at your feet.

I actually agree with the outcome. It's the process I disagree with. It's all blatant bias and hyperbole, no cited material. The difference between a valid argument and a fanboyish statement is the former changes minds and the latter reaffirms the side of the speaker alone.

here we go again...

can anyone prove that SA can free aim... Cause her auto targeting system is soo slow that if MC runs she won't hit him... combined with her slow firing rate and her None-lock on missiles I'm willing to bet that shes not as uber as you make out...

Concidering that MC's plasma pistol will burn though his shield in 1 hit (super shield included) he could probably noob-combo her...

MC with camo sneaks up on Samus with an energy sword and slices her in two.

He wouldn't be able to sneak up on her. Rush her, maybe.

Samus has a slow lock on rate so Master Chief would be able to rush her.

MC can't cloak. He has no camo. The only reason that Samus can't free aim is because that is how they set up the controls. They didn't want the game to be a first person shooter so the control set up was different. Her missles do indeed lock on to the target just play mp or mp2.

erm.... I've played both
1) those missiles don't do as much damage as mc's missiles
2) they really struggle to hit anything that moves as they have a tendency to bank late when the target moves... so a moving MC wouldn't be hit very often..

Technically the free looking thing is programmed into the game mechanics . . .

MP and MP2 are first person adventures that is why there are puzzles and specific strategies to beat certain enemies. What makes you think that SA's missles are weaker than chiefs? There is no proof of that. If anything it would seem to me that they would be stronger because they were developed by a far more advanced race.

free aiming isnt exactly in there.. you have to "Aim"(by holding trigger) and then "lock" your view if you want to do a jump while looking up... its sorta awkward.. but they didnt want it to be quake like (a true fps type of game where looking around can be done easily, thus making aiming a 'far too simple' task).. which is why its a First-person adventure

met prime : hunters is more of a true first person shooter than its gamecube counterparts

also I'm guessing her missiles home in "slowly" to balance the game.. if they locked and nailed every target they acquired, why bother using any other weapon?

The marine's weapons in Halo and Halo 3 are good enough to take on the Covenant army.
