in the battle between master chief and samus, there are 4 camps of thought. those who think chief would, those who think samus will win, those who don't give a crap.aAnd finally those who think they'd make sweet sexy space love.with that little tidbit aside, i'll get to my actual vote. in comapring the weapon, i get the impression that pure fire power lies safly with samus, but range and recesion falls in chiefs favor. the sniper rilfe and spartan laser have increable range and power, both meant to take down vehicles and as well as infantry, even the pistol works well at long ranges. samus weapon i feel like don't have the same range as as chiefs weapons, but they make up for it with pure power. espceilly the fact that energy weapons work really well against sheilds, means that at mid range she will dominate this match, however long range is safely in chiefs favore. so this means close range is up for grabs, and i honestly think this is to close to call, chief is stronger and capable of overpowering samus, but samus is more nimble and can grapple him with her grapple beam. so this battle comes down to what is more important, hitting hard at mid range or taking the oppoent out at long range. samus is fast, meaning hitting her will be hard, but chief is tough, so it would take alot to take him down. so who which is more important.in the end i think the abilty to hit an oppoent hard from a distances, is a bigger advantage than overwhemling fire power at mid range. all the fire power in the world won't help if you can't get close. samus is fast, but i can find an actual source for how fast, but i don't think she's so fast that a trained sniper/super soldier with nerual enhancements wouldn't be able to hit her.in the end even samus long range weapon has a farily short range, shorter than almost all of chiefs weapons, so in the end i feel chiefs control over the long range area of the battle will get him a win.
