Ok, the point is that the so-called “moon-physics” is in fact an example of Master Chief’s reflexes. It is not that thing’s actually happen like that (would be strange if there was moon-physics on earth, where you play quite a bit), it is because chief thinks and senses at such a rate, that everything appears to move slowly (he even remarks upon this in fall of reach, when he picks up a pin, drops it, and concludes that is falling too slow, even though the gravity setting is correct). It is because of his strength he jumps high (and hurls enemies far). The high jumping and time dilation adds up to the impression of the moon-physics.

So to sum up, fighting in the Halo universe isn’t any easier, it’s just chief that makes it look like it xD

I’m glad that I made a positive impression of chief ^^

And Cadre.. You’ve made me like Halo ^^ Again.. i did like it before my favourite char got in conflict with him but now i dunno.. you made me like him xD.. Oh and the reason i became a metroid fan is also ridiculous… i thought “hmm what game should i make myself a fan to..” and well i ususally played metroid and won it over and over again

(my time.. 6:59 later it became 5:30 then it became 4:10 and stayed there for 3 times. then it became 2:59… talk bout luck..)

*cough* off topic again.. But Moon physics, is it that chief jumps high? cuz i might also understand why the monster fly to hell when you blow em away xD

But is it meant to tell peeps that chief jumps high ^.-?

Just to try to get things on the right track again, to summarize why you think Samus is better is for the same reason as Midnightkey267, that the Chozos who granted Samus her armour (and their blood ) are technologically superior to the engineering of the 26th century UNSC?

(Did you get my reflex argument yet? The one explaining the moon physics? I just want to get that one straight, it explains a lot.)

btw play multiplayer metroid ^^ it’s not that much of a multiplayer (more like a cheap version of unreal tournament) but it’s still kind’a entertaining =)

Oh and btw where you from ^^?

yesterday i wrote my letter 11o clock in the evening but still when i wake up 9 o clock in the morning you’ve allready posted your comment ^.- made me wonder how you could be so active that often =P

And where did ya get your name Cadre ^^? (my name melos is my rl name) The only game i’ve seen that word/name is on Metroid Echoes =P

In any case, just because a discussion hasn’t lead to agreement doesn’t mean it hasn’t been good for anything…

The reason for why Gordon Freeman isn’t here, is that he after all is scientist with a doctorate in theoretical physics, and not a warrior. He is cool enough, and has his moments, but he isn’t tailored for war like Samus and Master Chief. He’s cool enough, but I’ve never really thought of him as someone who can whoop half a tonne of armour and warrior :P

Also, discussing this isn’t childish, it’s interesting. But in a sense you are right, because this discussion won’t have a lot implications on real life, and arguing so aggressively for something that is more or less meaningless is perhaps a bit pointless.

I have a group of friends which I discuss this with, and I’m gonna let them borrow my Xbox for a weekend and have them play Halo, and they’ll borrow me the Metroid games so I can play through them again. So I’ll just have to wait and see how that turns out.

But this is a little off-topic. As a matter of fact, no-one has actually posted anything directly on-topic in quite a while :S

The reason that im multi posting is that my ideas come part after part. they just Pop up
and my hand’s start writing =)

tryed to check your reaction if i changed my name =) tell me if it was a bad or a good idea..

but im off (or maybe i’ll check in sometimes) you guys can have fun fighting over game characters instead of enjoying thier games.. I think it’s a waste of time. But seeya Cadre.. Lots o love ^^ (not the homosexual way) amd Lots o love to midnightkey for helping me out fighting FOR THE JUSTICE o.. jk xD but for fighting with me ^^ even if he said he was about to leave the forum =)

(my mind has changed thanks to some sociality.. started playing wow.. had a nice guild.. they put me in different thoughts.. they didn’t really tell me anything but it was just the wonderful sociality and the loving that made me think like this.) so my tip is.. Find something that’ll make a great chattting community =) might actually make you feel alot better. Oh well Bye =)

Don’t try to say master chief is better infront of us! we wont agree anyways.. and we should’nt try saying samus is better infront of you guys =) you wont agree either

You’ve gotta admit that my words (some of em) make sence. It’s uneccesary to talk bout this ^^
Or, actually it’s your choise.. But im just saying.. Waiting for hate letters everyday isn’t as fun as it has been heard… Right =/?

Hey i dont really check stuff here but if you would like to email me of whatever’s in your heart then here is my adress melosbunjaku@hotmail.com =) (please don’t spam) but as said. Dont you hate it to await hate letters everyday on something you like ^^ it makes the games suck so badly.. Well Halo 1 isn’t fun since Halo2-3 is out xD same with metroid… Echoes isn’t fun because Corruption is out.. So my tip to you is! Enjoy some other stuff instead of wasting you fingers and time on this! (or if you like to do this then i wont stop you) but im just saying =)

Heya lad im back =) Yeah im like in the greatest mood today so ima tell you something! Something so dang low it’ll make you ahte me :O! jk.. but honestly, why are you trying to change metroid fans minds.. there is no need. And the same for us metroid fans.. Why are we trying to change thier minds? If it’s not possible to do so (even maybe if some halo fans has agreed with metroid fans) It wont work for the loving ones =) I’ve been off a loooooong time.. not sure if you miss me or if you were happy to see me gone, but stop rabbling everyting up.. Cuz we will only repeat the hooooole argument to the beggining.. So a tip my friend.. go and play some other games (Or halo or metroid does’nt really matter) This is awfully childish fighting over game characters! Okay im a hardcore fan of metroid so i cant belive taht im saying this xD but it so childish.. and suggesting that you’re pretty old cadre (guessing on your intelligent writings) Why are you doing this? I left it long time ago (and i came back to check stuff out ;o ) but i did it with hesitations.. Waiting for hate letters against the char’s you love.. i mean i ahted the Halo games after i’ve been on this stupid topic! and i did also hate the metroid games (loved them at the same time except i could’nt play em) i noticed that halo3 seemed really fun when i saw pictures,screens (though it did’nt get nominated -in sweden-.. 2 games got 2 and wii sports got 5???) oh well. Nvm that.. But it’s kind’a uneccesary taht you try to change our minds.. since they’ll always stay as they are. Samus wins! and you cant change that!(our thought’s that is) i hope you kind’a understood abit what i meant

Weapon creation is about more than just energy per shot fired. Your reasoning implies that the reason for why a society would exchange their slug-throwers is firepower, while I’m pointing out that there may be other reasons. For example, clarifying my previous point, that you never have to reload or carry ammo again. Just because they use beam weapons, doesn’t mean they have that much more energy per shot..

I agree to your assessment of Cortana’s powers versus the suit’s; it will just buy Chief some time, but 3-10 seconds of near-blindness in a combat situation could be enough for Chief to win (Not at once of course, but it could set him along the right chain of events).

its nothin offical that needs to be pointed out – its common sense

bullets vs. beam technology – think about it

and even if cortana could hack the suit, im sure the effects wouldnt be at all continuous
*ill admit thats one thing chief will have to give him sum time*
