I swear this was not worth all the effort.

Stop and think about that 27 thousand 993 characters.
What, you think he'll just stand around there waiting like an idiot for Samus to empty her ammo stock? He'll use the shield like a defensive catapult that'll give him an opening to jump in for the kill.
Wow so following your logic Samus must be just standing there and shooting at him, brilliant hypocrisy. Yes because Samus is just going to let him is she.
You should have realized that earlier when you senselessly barged in to argue against a comment you didn't even comprehend to begin with.
Wow get over it.
Oh really? Then how come he runs
much faster in the Halo 3 TV spot when as you claim, he was running at "full tilt"?
He doesn't, and you can't prove that he ran measurably faster or slower so your point is moot. Sorry.
Even so, that doesn't give you the license to dismiss the books, especially when Bungie insists they are admissible. End of story. Your attempts at trying to do so only show how desperate you've become in defending Samus.
Nice job just agreeing with me by validating the disconnect between the books and the games. THe games trump the books.
Books or no books Samus walks away with this. You're the definition of a dilusional fanboy.
Yes, that's why he runs much faster in the Halo 3 TV spot than he does in that Halo 2 cinematic. Get it, sweetie?
I went back and looked again, and then I replayed that part in Halo 2 on easy, and no he doesn't run measurably faster or slower.
Pretty soon I might just start taking your habit of calling me sweetie as a deliberately demeaning gender oriented insult. Make all the drama out of that you want, but that's what you do for every freaking word someone posts.
I've also given examples from MGS2, why didn't you take THOSE into account? Deliberately pretending to be blind, deaf and dumb isn't going to help here.
Except I did and it only substanciates my arguement.
And besides, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that though the cinematics in Halo are quite involving and interesting, the animation in them, compared to other games like Ninja Gaiden, MGS, God of War, DMC etc. is very, very basic.
I can't believe that your using animation quality to try and excuse a lack of presented ability. Hilarious, and desperate. "he didn't run as fast because the animation wasn't as good!"
In fact, the Halo 3 TV spot was the first time we saw the Chief moving and acting like that, striking cool poses and all.
Oh **** Billy, master Chief posed like a Ninja! Wow!
Has absolutely nothing to do with anything. He didn't move in anyway betrayed some hidden or better ability that was different then how we've seen him in the games. He just did it with better graphics and a lot better animation. Something you fail to comprehend; thinking that shaky camera angles and more detailed running means he was running faster.
Oy.
This is the best part:
That alone is enough to prove that the animation limitations in the Halo games have nothing to do with the Chief's actual abilities.
Wow really, so I can't even presume that he can actually open the shuttle bay door because his animations have
nothing to do with his actual abilities.
Seriously desperate. This entire line of thinking is reaching really far. There's no "Animation limitations" in Halo idiot. You can make someone run fast with the same low keyframe and minimal hand tweaking approach in Halo as you can with the massive by hand 'massaging' of a CGI movie.
Like I said, the animation in Halo is very, very basic and dare I say it, unimpressive. 90% of the time, all the Chief does is either walk, cock his weapon or some other mundane stuff. It's obvious Bungie paid more attention to the gameplay than they did to the cinematics.
The first part has nothing to do with anything.
The second part: WELL DUH.
And now we can actuall get on topic... sort of.
No, she's not. You only think that way because all the Samus supporters think of Chief like he's some idiot who's simply going to stand still in one place and take a beating.
No actually I don't. You seem to operate under the illusion that she wouldn't be able to hit Master Chief which is well, dumb. Or that he's so much faster then her, also dumb, Master Chief is going in for the kill at close range and will suceed at that because he can catch her, also dumb.
And now since you admit taking into account the books, it won't be hard for you acknowledge the Chief's unbeatable field tactics and battle strategies.
Yeah I mean, 'totally', that must be why the humans are losing, because this guy can devise unbeatable battle strategies and feild tactics.
And unlike Samus who needs a pitiful visor and onboard computer to do all the thinking for her
1. A visor that can instantly switch between and analize various spectrums and is also able to interface with machinery wirelessly is not pitiful.
2. Her onboard computer doesn't 'do all the work for her'. Are you talking about the auto lock? The whole game mecahnics to make aiming work? Wow it's the weirdest thing, she never used that in any of the other non Prime games did she? UNLESS she always did and it worked 100 percent of the time along a horozontal axis and the NES/SNES just didn't have the technology to show the missile weaving closer and further away from the screen! In that case Master Chief would be in even more trouble!
And please, don't mistake the fact that Samus can scan virtually everything for a weakness as a sign that she has to. Considering 95 percent over everything scanned in the prime games is for completing log and lore and morpholigy entries and the enemies weaknesses are always very logical WITHOUT scanning them.
the Chief does it on the fly. That means he won't have to stop and scan his enemy for information and weaknesses.
Oh yes, I'm sure the much hidden "Shoot him and it will hurt him" puzzle will ellude Miss Aran.
Shut the **** up.
He'll do it on his own within seconds.
Funny you should say within seconds, as even if she DID scan him it would only take seconds, given her mobility I don't think he'd be able to kill her in seconds, or that charging her would be the best idea.
In a battle, the Chief is off to a running start, and considering how relentless he is during conflict (well enough to earn him the title "demon" amongst the Covenant), he'll end it before Samus finishes scanning him.
And considering how relentless
she is during a conflict (Well enough to earn her the of the "The Hunter" amongst the Space Pirates and infamy in the entire known galaxy), she will never... ever go down that easilly. What you think she just going to
stand there even if she did waste time scanning him (he's obviously not a special form of space pirate. He bares a distinct look instantly recognizable as a "HUMAN IN BATTLE ARMOR").
This is after it's a well known fact that Samus is more agile (BECAUSE of her ability to move along the vertical axis somuch easier) and has much more mobility.
Wake up.
Uhh, yeah. So? How does that relieve you of the responsibility to answer my challenge to you about bringing to table these "gross discontinuities" in specific and concise detail between the novel and the game? Uh-uh, hon, don't dodge the question.
I 'accept defeat' (if only you hadn't previously admitted one of my examples was true).
I'll be adding 'hon' to that list of terms I'm going to start taking offense to.
Yeah, that standard can be applied to Snake, but not the Chief. Disgusting selectivity and pathetic double standards FTW!!
The Standard applies to
both of them.
The physics model of Crysis that enables it's main character to freely pull off such impressive feats in a sandbox like environment alone would've been impossible on last-gen systems. You're really reaching here.
No you're reaching. The physics model of crisis isn't what enables the character to do such impressive feats. We've had the ability to replicate that physics model ever since
before Half Life 2. Being able to run very fast, throw a barrel at a helicopter etc aren't revolutionary concepts. And neither would they have been impossible on the last gen systems. Look at Farcry and weep.
Stop reaching out of desperation.
And he is. If only you admitted this sooner, we wouldn't have been running around in circles for so long.
Only an idiot would think I hadn't aknowledged that or that it was even a point of contention. Master Chief is less capable in game then he truely is and it's the same with almost every video game character, he's not a special or unique snowflake.
Stop wasting space just becaus you love to read your own words.
Grrrrrrrrrreat reply. Oh my that totally annihilates my argument. I'll go kill myself now out of shame. *Sarcasm alert*
Pray tell, has there been even a SINGLE weapon in the ENTIRETY of both Halo games that was exclusive to multiplayer mode for you to make this ridiculous claim?
Just what I heard on 1UP Yours. It has nothing to do with prior history as you want to tie it to.
Ridley is just another alien.
Wrong, he's one of the leading weapons of the Space Pirates. On that basis alone your comment is total crap.
Really, there is simply NO rational explanation why he takes so mucu firepower to kill. His basic form is just flesh, maybe plated like reptiles but nothing extraordinary.
Answer me this: If his form was
just flesh and, 'maybe plated like reptiles' and 'nothing extraordinary'?
How does he survive in the vacum of space
Now I could go into more detail but I think I'll let you
choke on your own stupidity first.
Now Meta-Ridley is another story, but even he has a glaring weakpoint that outshines even the sun, practically screaming "shoot over here!". It's just a classic case of giving bosses ridiculously big health bars even though logically speaking, they shouldn't be able to withstand so much damage. Unless you bring me something more insightful from credible sources as to why Ridley needs so many missiles to kill aside from that big-ass health bar, it's a dismissible argument. Otherwise, I might as well bring 343 Guilty Spark in the equation as well claiming he's THE biggest badass enemy character of all, since he HAS no health bar and is IMPOSSIBLE to kill, enjoying his way through humming and blabbering computer jagron while you unload every manner of firepower into him with NO effect.
Funny thing, my last reply just basically rendered the majority of this paragraph moot.
Guilty Spark is made out of material that is practically invincible. They're designed to last forever. Seems this aspect have gone over your head.
So no your entire "It's only because he has a weakspot that he has such a big health bar" crap is just that, crap.
Ridley is just another alien. There, I said it.
I've already shown how wrong you are. Not only that, but your horribly lopsided view of each respective world which discredits your entire arguement.
Like I said luv, the Chief won't stand there waiting for Samus arsenal to run out. Her standard missiles don't fire fast enough to take him down before he gets to her, and he can either dodge the super missile or take a direct hit if he's on overshields (and really, why wouldn't he be, when Samus gets ALL her powerups and upgrades) and then jump in with a swipe of the Plasma Sword that'll slice her head clean off.
Her standard misilles do fire fast enough in every entry of the series save Prime. What do you think is more powerful, a Charged Plasma Pistol or a Charge Shot from Samus Arans' Buster?
She can reach areas he litterally cannot. She can jump higher, farther and faster and exploit any environment to her advantage much easier then Master Chief can. What part of he can easilly reach areas above him, she can see where he is at all times, and has a weapon that passes through matter can't you comprehend.
And consider for a moment that the regular shot would be doing enough consistent damage to the Chief. Her compliment of weapons in general would be doing enough damage to him to make him weary of a headon assault. The minute the wave beam or her regular shot in Fushion (the latest game in the series) comes into play, it's pretty much bye bye.
Your entire arguement is based around the notion of ignoring all of her abilities, her superior firepower, and durability. Master Chief is awesome and one of my favorite characters (even though he himself isn't much of one the Halo Universe is really fun), but you endless splooging is annoying.
But with overshields, it almost takes 3 missiles, and add to that, the shield bomb and the Chief's got enough defensive options to last him until he delivers the coup de grace.
No, he doesn't. Aside from the fact that Samus can rain down megabombs on his head from places he can't even reach, or litterally screw attack endlessly from one area to another, hit him when he tries to duck back under cover to recharge. Even without vertical elements that she can easilly exploit to her advantage in any given scenario, she's not going to be
standing still and firing. She's capable of manuevering along more then just the ground and making a small jump.
