For some reason you think that the chief has so much more experience than Samus. Of course he is not going to blindly run at her, but if he ever did get within ten feet then he would get a nasty surpirize. And yes I do think that Samus' suit is more advanced than high charity it was developed by a race with no need of more technology. Do you think that chiefs suit is more advanced than the space pirate's computer network? So chief can wait. Samus can too. It's not like Chief will automatically be in a good position to snipe someone. Samus also will not just walk out and say shoot me. I guess if we are all assuming about the hacking part then it should be dropped as it is clear that we will never agree on that and neither of us has any reliable proof.
Where did I say or infer that Chief had more experience than Samus? And the Chief is nowhere near stupid enough to go within ten feet unless he knows he'll have a chance of success(the speed at which the missiles travel in the games, I could say that his reflexes would allow him to dodge them anyways).
Did I say that Samus would be stupid enough to make herself an easy shot? And Chief's suit being more advanced than space pirate computer networks, I don't even know where you pulled that from. No, all I said that the Chief wouldn't be naive enough to try and snipe without knowing that he would hit.
Saying the Chozo had no more need of technology is pretty much bullshit. You know why? Because there is always room for improvement, at least in the technological factor. Tell me, if that's the case, that the Chozo had no more use of new technology, why didn't the Chozo make Samus's battlesuit perfect? Godlike? (And what killed the Chozo in the first place?) Surely if they had no more need of any more new technology, Samus would have been indestructible. But no, she's far from it. They could have at least give her power shields, but apparently not.

And the thing about Adam, if I remember correctly he was a soldier, how many soliders do we really know that have a personality when issuing orders? Did you expect him to be cracking jokes?
I take it that you've never heard of Sergeant Johnson, who happens to come from the world of Halo.
If you think that all soldiers are robots, then please join the army.

Ten, where the heck did you get that number. More like one point. Also Samus would only have to hit chief with roughly 8-9 power beam shots because that is about how many plasma shots it takes in halo. Not to mention what the plasma beam would do to him. Also the rapid fire weapons in halo are mainly close to medium range at which he would have four or five missles that would be following him.[/i]
One point, that's pretty biased, don't you think?Maybe 3 points a shot. I'd say one clip from an SMG takes down a bar and a bit.
Before you all start bombarding me with nonsense blabber about how beams are far superior to guns, look how effective they were against the Covenant, even with their fancy-shit armor, shields, plasma weapons.
You're supposed to compare weaponry by how effective they are, the amount of damage they do. Not the year they were made. Samus's suit was made in the time where there were beams, not bullets. Thus stands to reason that her suit was rather protecting her more from weapony such as the Space Pirates have.
And Samus's suit is rather form fitting, no? Body hugging. Sure, the heat and radiation from beams would probably be refracted/reflected to a point, protecting her, but it won't stop bullets from punching. It doesn't matter if the metal is harder than adamantium or ten times harder. The bullet might not punch through, but it packs a lot of momentum unto itself and some of that momentum will punch through. So the Chief would be wise to aim for the parts where Samus's armor is thin, such as her legs, visor, or lower left arm.
It makes me wonder what a sniper bullet would do to her helmet, if it can punch through three, fully shielded, armoured Elite heads and lodge in a bulkhead. (Yes, I've actually done it once in the Metropolis level in Halo 2)

[b]Yes, if only Samus's wave beam could lock on AND disrupt the chief's armor. And you assume that all of his bullets will hit Samus. She is much to agile to be defeated that way and I would place their damage more around 5. Samus doesn't only have plasma she has a power beam, which is only a little slower than bullets. You don't follow up with your own rules. Chief is "a very good shot." If they are at a distance smgs won't do dick. By the time Chief would reload, he would be dead. And your philosophy on Halo is wrong. I don't believe that Chief is more powerful than Samus, but if we followed your rules, then it would be Halo> MC> Samus because Halo can wipe out all life. Master Chief is not impervious
As for the amount of damage that bullets do, see my above quote.
It can disrupt Chief's armour, but it wouldn't hamper his weapons or his ability to move. The most that will happen is that he wouldn't be able to use any electronic functions of the suit, such as ammo indicators, shields(unless he also rebooted the system, which happens to take even less time than Samus's reboot)
You're also assuming, again, that Chief would actually bother to use SMGs at a distance. Yes, even if he had no other weapon, he would think to use the one he had to greatest effect. He'd try to get closer. (Spartans can run up to 55kph, just to let you know)
He would still be as strong as before; the strength of the suit comes from a reactive crystal layer rather than suit servo mechanisms.
