In the end I hope neither warrior is killed. It would be just depressing if one of these hero's had to kill the other in the battle, I just hope this is one of those battles that doesn't result in death, even if both are extremely effective killers.

Okay, sentiment aside, a winner needs to be decided. So who would win? It's a question that has been debated for a while among Metroid and Halo fans. Now I've seen acusations of bias on both sides, and the fact is...it's true. If you say there isn't some amount of bias, you are wrong, everyone has some level of bias, it can't be ingnored that it's a simple truth. But can people over look this bias and get to the root of the matter and give an honest answer? Well in this case, most of the voters have indeed done that, and it's nice to see it, granted some clearly failed to do so (you know who you are). But my little rant is over, and now I'll give an actual vote.

Who wins? In my opinion, it be a knock down drag out fight with both warriors taking a savage beating, but who would go down first? With the advanced weapons, advanced armor, and super-human augmentations this fight could last a long time and both would be hard pressed to subdue the other, weather lethal or not. On Samus side you get speed, agility, and fire power. On Chiefs side you get power, durabilty and superior range. So who's set of skills and equipment is going to overcome the other? I know I'm putting a lot of questions in this but I feel like they are the questions that come up when picking a winner here.

And the Winner in my opinion is....

Master Chief.

While Samus is fast, and a lethal warrior, Chief is a strong and unmovable wall by comparison. He's like a walking statue of steel, his weight, strength and durabilty will allow him to out Samus, who will leave the Spartan bruised and beaten, but not defeated. It comes down to how can take a bigger beating before subcoming to the damage, and Chief has shown to be nothing is not resistant to damage.
