I just wanted some thougths on who thinks the better warrior would be?

snake_eyes616
MC, without a doubt.

Ast Rofan
Id go with the one who has his own game.

Darth_Janus
Master Chief, but only because he's a smaller target. Then, if they actually fought, the Arbiter could just stealth stab him.

General Zodiac
Master Chief: A warrior created for the war.
Arbiter: An Elite (Which the Master Chief kills hundreds of)

Darth_Janus
Your reasoning still needs work, Zodiac.

Just because Master Chief in game killed "hundreds" of elites does not mean they are all the same in skill and talents. Based on his accomplishments in Halo 2, the Arbiter is very nearly his equal.

cking
The master chief has encountered all elites of different ranks. the blue armour is the rookie and the most inexperience, the chief clearly said in the novels that the blue ones don't aim that good and usually are more confused than the rest. The covenant rank elites based on how many conflicts they have encountered. The red elites are more aggressive, have superior armour and are more skilled with weapons. the gold elites, the special oops, white colored, and the special guards of the covenant are the ones the chief worries about the most. the chief and these advanced elites have the same armour, the only difference is these elites have plasma swords which the blue ones don't. The chief did encounter one elite with a plasma sword in the novel halo first strike. The chief struggled for about 30 minutes until his wrestling moves started becoming more of a factor. When the chief was only 14 and was now starting using the spartan armour he was sent on his first and he first encountered his first elite. it was in a room that didn't have anitgravity so he struggled with a blue armour elite because both could never balance themselves, but this was the kind of fire the covenant would throw at a rookie warrior such as the chief. The arbiter had the number two position under just the prophets, he was responsible for halo being destroyed since he was the commander of the covenant fleet. in the last novel the prophets were disappointed that halo was destroyed and that they wanted the one responsible for it and that was the last sentence which would begin halo 2. The game began with the arbiter being brought before the prophets. The novels didn't say much about him and the arbiter wasn't his real name but a name given to him because they wanted him dead after he would keep the covenant from breaking apart from heretic elites. after that tarturas came and took the key away from the arbiter, he smacked the arbiter with his sledgehammer. this was the covenants plan to kill the arbiter even through they lied that they stopped being disappointed that halo was lost. Another reason was the elites failed to save halo and so they wanted the brutes to be the special escort instead.

Paragraphs are your friend. stick out tongue

Darth_Janus
Yes, well I'm glad you wrote me a book, but when the Arbiter kicks some ass in III, you will be told.

the arbiter will probably be given better armour since the elites are on his side and he will team up with the chief in more events.

General Zodiac
The Master Chief went through the Covenant in Halo 2 almost alone then the flood. Master Chief is usually always alone and the Arbiter always had a little help from Elites, Grunts, or Jackals. Elites always focused on 1 enemy either the Heretic Forces, the Flood, or the Brutes. Never 2 or 3 at once. The Master Chief had to go through the Flood, Covenant, and the Brutes alone.

I enjoy the arbiters undying loyalty.. but I still think its stupid that the covenant speak english...

Honda_Tadakatsu
Okay, would you rather have to read every cutscene? Hmm? Its called Translation Software that Cortana has, and that is programmed into the Computer in the Mark VI armor. Otherwise it'd be more of the 'Wort Wort Wort' Talk that got really, really, really ****ing annoying.

cking
since the elites are not under the prophets anymore and both the brutes and prophets are against them, then they have no choice but to join the chief and his comrades or else they will not survive as a species because the brutes were slaughtering the elites. Before the arbiter knew about the elites being slaughtered, he teamed up with survivors and make a descent comeback towards the end but not enough to turn the war to the elites side. their will be alot of versus in the next game. elites, hunters, grunts, humans, chief, and cortona on one side. prophets, brutes, jackals, and drones on one side.

cking
the covenant doesn't speak English, it was translated.

I enjoy reading subtitles very much

Like your signature there, Honda Tadakatsu. Fan of the Sengoku-jidai era I take it?

The Arbitor would certainly give the MC a run for his money but I'd imagine that the Chief would eventually come out on top. The Arbitor actually seems to be more focused and resourceful than the Chief. I'd put that down to his beliefs.

cking
if it came down to it, it would be a tie because they are both clones and both would tire each out to the point they don't have any reason to fight. in the novels it seems the master chief always get out of bad situations, but sometimes he need help.

dAngEr_Is_gO!
I think I'm missing something. The Arbitor is a clone? I just thought he was another member of the race of Elites with special Arbitor armour. Are the Elites clones rather than a race?
My brother has the Halo bible so I might check it out.

cking
no, that was just a figure of speech, they aren't clones but very similiar and have the same armour

Master cheif would kick ass and did u know master cheif is in the navy.

He's not in the Navy. Isn't he in the space army or whatever?

Just because they call them 'Marines' doesn't mean they are in the Navy. I'm pretty sure that just means they are 'Space marines' or something to that effect.

Don't do this in other people's threads.

cking
he is in the united nations space command, where is all the navy, army, marines, and air force all together.

Hit_and_Miss
the book tells us;
MC is stronger then elites.
MC has faster reactions then elites.
MC is smarter then elites.
MC has more training then elites.
MC has better shielding then elites.
MC has cortana, she hacked the covenant battle grid and understands all there languages and commands...

And the arbiter armor is a older version of the elite armor...

SaTsuJiN
I personally find this question not to be of 'ability' but of 'character'.. which is why I had previously chosen arbiter

Hit_and_Miss
Satsujin arbiter has no character... hes an elite ordered to do something otherwise he dies. Now even his masters have turned on him. Hes been told all hes know has been lies and would probably wishing he could go home. All hes fighting for is so that he doesn't die.

MC is fighting for the fate of the world. Hes been told hes the last chance. He knows that without him the earth falls apart. How could he not have more conviction than that.

then you havent heard the conversation between him and the elite with the broken jaw

Elite : Your life is none of my concern

Arbiter : Then that makes two of us

arbiter is doing all he can for what he knows.. which is good character in my opinion. Plus his convictions may change and his zeal may be put towards saving both civilizations

Hit_and_Miss
I believe that was said when he was still working for the prophets yes???
And what does he know... hes been rejected by his masters, all his religion has become a lie and hes going to die. whats he fighting for??
cause some alien hes never met has told him to.(gravemind)

SaTsuJiN
So then you could come to agree that arbiter is going through an inner turmoil, and is thus becoming a more dynamic character than chief

113
it's simple...master chief cause humans are better than aliens

Hit_and_Miss
inner turmoil won't help him beat MC. Hes just hasn't got what it takes to kill MC. his devotion to the cause has fallen apart. whatever his story is arbiter is now a broken shell of an alien....

Next Venom_girl
I like the Arbiter 'cause he's supposed to be on the same level as MC, but he isn't as twinked out.

Arbiter
I like Arbiter because he is now fighting to stop the Covenant and his old beliefs.

MrBones
of course Master Chief...he kills groups of those arbitors for kicks

Hit_and_Miss
Actually the elites talk english in halo one. Its just been reversed. There was a website that had reversed all what the elites and grunts said. Most of it was along the lines of "die human". but there were a few comical ones.

Darth Extecute
Just because MC has his own game, does not mean he is the best. And yes, he may have killed many elites, but arbiter is not a regular elite. I think it would be an even fight yes

DarkC
MC. Even if Arbiter goes stealth-stab, Chief's encountered a shitload of elites like that and killed every one.
