What would that help? Tearing down buildings would not do anything against Mercer. Mercer has regenerated from a speck of tissue. Give Master Chief a couple of hours and he could get a portion of that damage done on Alex. Besides, I think Alex is stronger than Master Chief.
He should avoid H2H and try for range as his only way to win. Hammer fist, muscle mass and possibly the blade can imo penetrate his armour as he uses it to destroy tanks in very few hits. Alex' armour stops strops all but MC strongest weapons, then he can use the shield.
If/when Chief gets Mercer in a high damage state he can easily consume the flood and hunters to get alot of health back. Like fighting Mario with unlimited green mushrooms around him ;p
Mercer's options and physical dominance are too much for Cheif to overcome...
Mercer's got FAR more strength (Literally throwing Choppers and tanks around like the Hulk, even in his normal state) speedwise, he crosses cities in just a few minutes by jumping rooftops, has nearly infinite regeneration capability, and natural weapons that make the flood look bland in comparison...
Seriously, all MC really has is better handheld weaponry, and nothing on him matches nuclear weapons in terms of overall damage.
