1. She has unlimited beam ammo, Master Chief is always running out of bullets.

2. She can do more than fire guns, morph ball ect. Master Chief only knows how to shoot stuff.

3. She's not afraid to take her helmet off because she's sexy with long blond hair, Master Chief is ugly that's why he's afraid to take his helmet off. + he has no sun tan, so pale.

4. Samus is her own boss, a cool bounty hunter like the dog, Master Chief is a tool of the government and does what he's told. Muppet.

5. Samus doesn't team up with the enemy like Master Chief, she wouldn't forgive the elites and take sides with them like Master Chief.

6. Samus has a higher scoring game than Master Chief on Gamerankings, Metroid Prime 96.3%, Halo Combat evolved 95.5%

7. Samus' power armor can be equipped with a number of modular upgrades that enhance its functionality and lethality, Master Chiefs armour does nothing and makes him look like a reject Storm trooper from Star wars.

8. Master Chief is described as having brown hair, freckles and a gap between his front teeth, super soldier , more like super nerd.

9. Samus has the advantage when it comes to speed and agility, Weight: 198lbs, Master Chief's weight in full body armour 1000 lbs, slow and over weight.

10. If a small plasma grenade can destroy Master Chief think of how much a super missile combined with a fully charged wave beam (which goes straight through the enemies body) would do to master chief. Plus Samus fights big ass monsters, Master Chief fights 12 foot tall weaklings who go down with one smack of a rifle butt.

As you can see Samus puts Master Chief over her knee and spanks his ass before sending him to bed with no dinner.

Reasons 1 and 2 were good. 3 through 6 were stupid as hell. 7 was dumb. The armor augments muscle strength, whish is something. 8 was crap. 9 Chief can move pretty fast in that armor. and the first part of 10 was alright, but then got stupid.

Samus would beat Master Chief, but this is a stupid ass list of reasons why.

Samus isn't even an interesting character. She fits the standard lone wolf archetype and has a very weak back story.

1. She has unlimited beam ammo, Master Chief is always running out of bullets.

2. She can do more than fire guns, morph ball ect. Master Chief only knows how to shoot stuff.

3. She's not afraid to take her helmet off because she's sexy with long blond hair, Master Chief is ugly that's why he's afraid to take his helmet off. + he has no sun tan, so pale.

4. Samus is her own boss, a cool bounty hunter like the dog, Master Chief is a tool of the government and does what he's told. Muppet.

5. Samus doesn't team up with the enemy like Master Chief, she wouldn't forgive the elites and take sides with them like Master Chief.

6. Samus has a higher scoring game than Master Chief on Gamerankings, Metroid Prime 96.3%, Halo Combat evolved 95.5%

7. Samus' power armor can be equipped with a number of modular upgrades that enhance its functionality and lethality, Master Chiefs armour does nothing and makes him look like a reject Storm trooper from Star wars.

8. Master Chief is described as having brown hair, freckles and a gap between his front teeth, super soldier , more like super nerd.

9. Samus has the advantage when it comes to speed and agility, Weight: 198lbs, Master Chief's weight in full body armour 1000 lbs, slow and over weight.

Master Chief looks better in armor, Samus looks better without it.

But, Chief likes it when Samus puts him over her knee...

We know so little about her because there is basically nothing to know. When the Metroid franchise was created, nobody in gaming cared about story telling. Samus was created with about as much depth to her as Mario.

Samus is a far more interesting character and more fun to play as. Master Chief on the otherhand, is just annoying with his not-so-witty one liners.

That's not true at all. The Halo universewas created with a lot backstory and depth to it.

I'm sorry, but the notion that Samus is a more interesting character than the MC is absolutely ridiculous. Nintendo's storytelling abilities are completely inferior to Bungie's.

I think that if they fought in the real world, the Chief would win. In a fantasy world where energy beings and rock monsters are par for the course, Samus would win.

*sigh* the halo books with MC backstory were made after the first game was released, thus producing the backstory. Think about it, Halo went under heavy changes since it was first announced as a PC title years ago. As i already stated, Bungie made halo3's stroy specifically so the player wouldnt have to find out about MC's backstory. So MC as a character in a videogame is pretty standard. the only motivation he has throughout the series is that of cortana.

We know he was taken away from his family at a young age. We know he was a natural leader.

We know a lot more than that. The book "The Fall of Reach" goes into great detail about the MC and the Spartan program in general, and most of these details echo throughout the 3 games.Everything the MC can do in the game has a legitimate explanation behind it, rather than just being put in for the sake of being a cool, but unexplainable gameplay element.

I'm not saying the MC is the greatest character in the history of fictional writing, but he's certainly more interesting than most video game characters, including Samus.

The books were written after the first game, but a lot of the details were already there. The only reason they were put into book form was because of the success of the first game.

Despite its origins, the backstory still shows through the games, which is what's important. Most of Metorid's backstory was created just to tease the fans of the series, rather than have any real effect on the story.

I know there is a lot more to it. I was just stating the things I know. By the way do you know the timeline order for the books? I want to read them in order.

On what grounds? If you're talking about their capabilities, sure, Samus would win in a fight. But really, who cares about any of that? The MC was created to fit the story of the games, not to battle other super soldiers on internet forums.

AS WAS MASTERCHIEF

That's not true at all. The Halo universewas created with a lot backstory and depth to it.

I'm sorry, but the notion that Samus is a more interesting character than the MC is absolutely ridiculous. Nintendo's storytelling abilities are completely inferior to Bungie's.

*sigh* the halo books with MC backstory were made after the first game was released, thus producing the backstory. Think about it, Halo went under heavy changes since it was first announced as a PC title years ago. As i already stated, Bungie made halo3's stroy specifically so the player wouldnt have to find out about MC's backstory. So MC as a character in a videogame is pretty standard. the only motivation he has throughout the series is that of cortana.

The books were written after the first game, but a lot of the details were already there. The only reason they were put into book form was because of the success of the first game.

Despite its origins, the backstory still shows through the games, which is what's important. Most of Metorid's backstory was created just to tease the fans of the series, rather than have any real effect on the story.

I think what we have to look at, is that they are 2 completely different types of characters. One is loud and tough. the other is mysterious and alone. i don't think we would ever finish this argument as it would just keep going round in circles.

I admit that MC has a more interesting backstory ( I actually have "the fall of reach" and have started reading it :D ) but I don't think that makes him a more interesting character. Some things are better left unsaid, and in the case of samus' character design I think that is exactly right. maybe there will come a time when we grow tired of knowing nothing about her. i honestly hope they kill off the series before that happens. My say is, leave her as a mystery. All of nintendo's characters are created to be a blank slate. they are supposed to be the players guide through the game. With your experiance coming first and the characters story keeping you entertained.

You are right, nintendo's storytelling abilities aren't that great, so trying to create a backstory for samus in a game would be pretty dangerous in itself (just look at metroid fusion).

[QUOTE="mighty_shark"]Samus will always winGamer556

Typical sheep response. If its nintendo it is automatically good.

except.....she would win

On what grounds? If you're talking about their capabilities, sure, Samus would win in a fight. But really, who cares about any of that? The MC was created to fit the story of the games, not to battle other super soldiers on internet forums.

If the topic is created. Who are we to say no to debate.
