Space Pirates (Metroid) vs. The Covenant (Halo)

[QUOTE="Bladefighter23"]Anyone that has read the Halo books know that the Covenant can destroy a planet with one shot from the ships, so I don't see how anyone can stand up to that(except for Master Chief) :D.t2wave

He can't actualy. The only reason the covies haven't glassed earth is because of the arc. If the covies wanted to glass earth or any planet, not even 100 chiefs could do anything about it.

The Covenant hands down, even though their ground forces would dominante the space pirtates, they wouldn't need to, they would sit back in ships and glass the pirates.

Also, I think alot of the people who voted pirates haven't read the Halo books, they don't know the power of the have. But since their is so much anti Haloness on these boards, people will not listen to reason.

And wouldn't the Space Pirates raid those ships?It's not like the Space Pirates would just sit back and be annihilated.....

The thing about the Space Pirates is that they've been able to reverse-engineer partsof Samus's suit (the attempts at a morph ball rather hilarious),have cloaking technology,use genetic engineering, in addition to a bunch of other technologies at their disposial. Any troop to troop combat the Space Pirates would win in equal numbers, even if slightly outnumbered the Space Pirates would most likely win. Problem is that Space Pirates were never made out to be a rather numerous organization. Their forces are divided scattered and seem to work in minimal numbers. It seems the Space Pirates tend to take more of a hit and run approach to their operations since they have the Galatic Federation to deal with. (which means the Space Pirates are not the most powerful organization in the Metriod universe)

What would get the Space Pirates in the end is simply being outnumbered.

Pirates am totaled.

This is actually somewhat interesting. Maybe they should make a co-op game featuring MC and Samus vs Covenant and Space Pirates, who have also teamed up. It would be called Masmus because it combines Master and Samus and a lot of people would play both its offline and online modes and it would become the most popular game in a few weeks and nobody would play any other games because it was really a lot more fun than all the other games that people could play so there would be like no point in playing the other games because Masmus would be the best game.PotatoSan

edit: what is it with you and Wolverines?!

Like the Covies couldn't stop them? You know,the Covies do the same thing, They have boarding parties, they raid ships. Not to mention the Covie tech is supremely supieror, and thier numbers are incredibly vast. Its like putting the Zerg numbers with the Protoss tech.

Those are all immune to most covenant ground troop weapons.

Doesn't the arc just activate the Halos causing all sentient life (including covies) to die?

Glass this and that?


Space pirates blow up their "bases" (which are whole effing planets.) all the time.I thought we've already established that the tech difference was tooo big between the Halo and Metroid universe. For god's sake, MC still uses bullets.Jrob2k8

Ugh, this thread is pointless, *goes to play Rise of Nations*.Captain_Waffles

I definitely remember getting in a long, drawn out debate on this. I voted Covenant, and here's why.

Space Pirate tech is superior, on the whole, to what the Covenant have. However, the Space Pirates have much smaller numbers, and they're lacking in the area that's one of the Covenant's greatest strengths: their fleet.

Covenant ships destroy planets. They turn them to glass, destroying all life. They invade and conquer worlds. Although the Space Pirate ground forces are strong (especially if you give them some of the tech they pick up in Prime, which they may or may not have retained for a significant amount of time), they just can't stand up to their air forces. That means that wherever they make a base, wherever they camp, as soon as they are found, they will be anihillated.

Covenant win the war of attrition.

[QUOTE="wolverine4262"]A single scarab would destroy any space pirate... And if that dont do the job, a space cruiser would glass any rock the cliched space pirates were standing on....VGobbsesser

And a group of Metroids could easily drain the life force of any living being of the Covenant.

Metroids arent with the space pirates, they suck the life out of them too

leave metroids out of this and Covenant easily win

I love Baby Metroid, in fact I have to get working on that Baby Metroid Avvy I was thinking of making

Only with the fact that Covies have more numbers. A space pirate could take on 5 grunts, 2 hunters, and an elite without dieing. Master chief can and he only has bullets.

The thing about the Pirates is we really don't know their numbers as a whole. We know they don't usually go in fleets so that leaves that out. They do have cloning though so their true numbers still remain unknown.t2wave

Whenever you leave a room they come back. :o I think that would give them a large advantage.

Metroids kill all!

I would imagine that the Covenant are far more organized.

The Covenant has but one option to win. Stay the hell in space and bombard every planet until the Pirates are destroyed. Should this fight get to the ground The Covenant simply gets massacred.

• Pirate Troopers
• Elite Pirates
• Phazon Elites
• Omega Pirate
• Pirate Commando
• Pirate Grenadier
• Aqua Pirate
• Pirate Aerotrooper
• Shadow Pirate
• Beam Trooper
• Ninja Pirate
• Kraid
• Ridley
• Thardus

The Covenant better stay in their ships or else they're finished. The versatility and technology of the space pirates isn't going to be beaten by Covenant ground troops.Blackbond

how much of this stuff are you taking from the Prime series?

sorry but Prime is not cannon in the metroid universe to me
