Master Chief vs Samus Aran

well, if you'd like to call having the NPC's damage multipled by 300%
(to the point where 1 uncharged shot from a plasma pistol rips off
80% of your shielding) a form of replay value, or challenge, then thats your choice..

if you've noticed, the layout of the two games is very different.. the
metroids for gamecube are much more story/puzzle driven..a quick
trigger finger is not needed, because the enemies are immune to
certain beamtypes/ weak to others...and I would hope the treks are a
half hour long... you're investigating a part of a planet afterall..

Then you have halo.. there are no puzzles for halo.. you see a
vehicle.. hop in it and do whatever you like (within the limited
constrains of the level..as mobs do not respawn). So basically instead
of "find this door".. its "The door in front of you is glowing.. go
through it".. obviously they do not apply to the same audience.. does
this make one lamer than the other? of course not.. at least not in
my opinion anyway..

I also happen to find that the artists at Retro Studios
have much more talent than those at Bungie

Did yall forget about the Scarab from Halo 2?

Anywho I played Metroid Prime and 2 Echoes and I for one like Halo 1 and 2 better. Metroid is a little too slow at most places (like the beginning) where Halo starts out fighting from the start.

If there was a battle between Master Chief and Samus, it'd be a draw because they'd end up making out and doing it. Just like Mr. and Mrs. Smith. 😄

As for my opinoin on this matter, I have none. If I side with MC I'll get flamed by the Metroid fans, but if I side with Samus I'll get flamed by Halo fans. I'd rather get flamed by both or neither (preferrably the latter).

Actually he is right the scarab never fires at you. It just walks around and blows up one tank. Besides you don't actually destroy it, you just kill the people inside and then it blows up. It's no different than fighting covenent in any other part of the game. Besides what does a scarab have to do with any of this.

then again... scarab would n00b riley....

Who's Riley???

And That scarab would be crushed by the Omega pirate!

Scarab = Pwned

Ridley wouldn't even be able to break through the scarab's armor.

It's not a question of breaking the armour to stop the Scarab. Just take out the covenant on board and the thing stops dead. And thats simple enough for Ridley to accomplish since the Covenant would find it hard to even hit the thing while it's buzzing around breathing plasma all over them...
