Master Chief vs Arbiter

Then it isn't really scientifically accurate.

The extreme heat, despite the cauterization of wounds leading to no exterior bleeding, can fuse bones, organs, and tissue in a rather sloppy mess, in many cases leading to rather painful deaths.

Think about what happens if your stomach got fused with a lung.

So it does penetrate the skin, just not in a way that it spills any exterior blood. Gotcha. I'd say plasma and bullets in Halo are roughly equal in lethality. Except in space vacuum of course.

Hmm... though fight. The Master Chief is the better fighter, but giving the Arbiter Covenant weapons is kinda unfair....

They will kill each other. 😛

"Plasma weapons being superior" is a massive misconception.

Arbiter dies, plain and simple. No covvie weapon will help him.

I'd say their weapons are about equal to the UNSC, they just work better on energy shields.

And while I have respect for the skill level of the Arbiter, the Elite hasn't seen nearly as much combat and so does not have nearly as much experience as the Chief does. The SPARTANs, despite being trained for anything possible military-wise, are meant for ground operations.

Spartans >> Elites. 😉 See I used to think it was the other way around, but when I read the books about all their enhancements and stuff and what they really were, I knew they were better.

They are pretty much equal when it comes to physical stats. Problem with Master Chief is that he IS extremely tenacious and resourceful. Not to mention his jobber aura is off the charts.

What?

He does have Jobber Aura. I call MC's JA his inherent good luck that even Cortana could not explain but knew it was there.
