So one of your reasons the Arbiter is that Marcus has stronger and farther reaching weapons? You don't think the Elite has been caught in a fight against enemies welding sniper rifles before? And about the Arbiter pissing his pants comment; I'll just guess you've never played Halo 2 (referring to the fact that he had to fight through an army of flood and sentinels, then later on he had to fight the brutes who are rather similar to the Locust.) Sure, Marcus would have the long range advantage, but when fighting an opponent that can tank a .57 caliber sabot round from halo's sniper rifle, how long will that advantage last? Again, the Arbiter has taken on multiple sniper rifle welding foes before. Pure rage and fury won't help Marcus when a round from a carbine pops through his head or when a energy sword is sticking out of his sternum. There is nothing Fenix can do that Arbiter hasn't already faced. Besides Fenix's familiarity with the area, you haven't given a solid reason why he would beat a soldier that (even you admitted) has far more experience. Sorry for the rant.
