Thanks for posting this fight admin. I think this would be a pretty evenly matched fight, but in the end I think Master Chief would win as Commander Shepard usually fights leading a squad of powerful allies and he wouldn’t get those guys here, although I still think he would be a tough fight for Master Chief.

If it was the basic Commander Shepard(the one I would consider canon) not a custom character one then he would not have biotics and would then probably lose, but if it was a custom character Commander Shepard then he or she could have biotics and as you said would probably win without a huge amount of difficulty.

Weapons Technology in the Mass Effect universe is far more advanced than that of the UNSC.

Shepard suit>>>MC’s suit
Shepard’s suit can have certien upgrades for strength, life, acurrecy, etc and the suit can be swaped for a better suit. while mc’s suit needs a whole new design to become better.
Shepard wepones=\>mc’s wepones
Shepard wepones are all plasma wepondery, and can have up to three upgrade slots for acurracy, damge, or overheating and are quite powerful before these upgrades. MC’s rocket luncher, laser, sniper, and nades would be his only chance of victory.
Shepard vechiles<<<Mc’s vechiles
Ah, here is MC ace in the hole. in almost ever shape way and form, mc’s vechiles are more powerfull and faster in space combat, and a scorpien would kick the he11 out of the shepards tank thing (I think tanko or something like that?) hecl, the ghost, hornet, banshe, or wraith would probley beat it as well, for shepards tank thing is, in all fairness, weak. I may be wrong saying a ghost or hornet could beat it, but a scorpien would defiently. while being slightly slower, it can can 2-3 spartien lasers, and can one-hit kill anything but other tanks.
In most confied, house type battles. Shepards would win, but out in the open, Shepard is doomed

i think that its pretty even i think that shepards advantage isnt huge but its big enough considering the technology that they both have im gonna go with mass effect…

i can see many ways MC would win with H3 tech but also he could take mass effect tech seeing as he has hands. Yay for MC

The masterchief Dies!!! He can be killed from a short burst from an RPG!!!

MC does have one HUGE advantage.
He can jump.I’ve played completely through mass effect and saw Shepard jump once or twice.And also Shepard may have gone against a large amount(and I mean LARGE amount)of aliens,so has the dude in green.In the end I think they would get to a tie, take a bus home and later maybe go have some coffee.

mc can run at speeds faster than 100 kmph and he can carry 3 tons (if im not mistaken) his armour is 1 ton

ok first mc cant run faster then 100 km he maxes at about 60

shepard does have shields that regenerate too its the little white bars next to your health in the game

and sheperd would have all of his abilities coz if u get 150 kills with a technique it gets unlock on all classes

and jumping isnt really that much of an advantage all shepard needs to do then is shoot in the air

and all that needs to happen is sheperd uses singularity which makes mc unable to moves and draws him to a point of shepards choosing and shepard blows the crap out of him with a shotgun

mc loses… i hate it when fanboys take mcs abilities out of proportion sure hes cool but give it a rest

y wudnt he have his armor that just stupid hes got basically no chance as it is y would he take off the only thing that could save him

by theway, shepared does have energy shields, in fact, shepared’s shields are like having a 4x overshield that recharges decentaly fast, and has 10x more health then master chief.

Luck is on master chiefs side for two reasons: 1. The books show him being luckey ( he calls which way a coin will land) 2. They say so in the game (“you had something they didn’t, luck”) but it still wouldn’t matter in the end, luck can only get you so far.

That’s my point, mc is luckly and skillful, but to an extent.

I’ve read up.All of the sources I’ve found say that the canon Shepard did NOT have biotics.There’s one less advantage but(although I hate to say it)Shepard is still a little bit more likely to win but not certain to win.

that is tru they can be bypassed by things that move slowly. but when they are fighting i doubt either of them would move slow…. but good point

mc also has alot of experience u know

ok chances are that neither will use close combat techniques because they…well have guns. and a shot blast from close will do far more damage than a punch or kick shepards guns are far more advanced which gives him an advantage. his suit has regenerating shields as well so that puts the suits at about equal.. the only things that i can put in cheifs favor are movement speed and strength. oh and i dont think shepard can run out of ammo his/her guns just overheat after prolonged usage

so i think that after a decent gun battle superior equipment will prevail

shepard ftw

hey cool i just noticed i have little star things wat are they from

Each star equals 50 comments on the site. Congrats! – Admin

@david

the armour on the 2 are basically the same but a big advantage with shepards is the shielding, it can have 4 shields operating while chiefs can only have one

its like mc versing himself with better technology and some magic(depending on the shepard)

Shepard, absolutely no contest.

mc+commander shepard = death to covanent+geth

@jhud

“mc sniper has 10x zoom shepard has 8x”\

whats the use if it can get through the shields

2 words M-920 Cain. The instant pwner.

Oh and uh.. Shepard is James T Kirk with a mini nuke launcher and black hole projector launcher… EAT THAT MC FANS!!

okay since i know nothing about general sheperd ill lust post a fight…..

Master Chief VS Rosarch

chiefs shields can take plasma pretty well why not bullets that move at the speed of light. also chiefs shields are more advanced since that can deflect projectiles and enery weapons.

He’s only allowed standard weapons.(UNSC) But if you want an advantage, how bout the splazer?

Splazer versus Collector laser (which is a laser type weapon, and is stopped by kinetic shields.. for some reason. Probably Element Zero)

Plus Shepard has a good share of heavy weapons now. The firestorm “a sticky spray that burns at approximately 1,600 degrees Celsius”, the Avalanche that’d likely freeze MC to pieces and the Cain, which is essentially a portable nuke launcher.

Jwlynas, the Collector Particle Beam Rifle is focused and directed radiation. It is not a laser. That is why Kinetic Barries can affect them. Lasers, real ones not sci-fi fictional ones that are completely differant in functionality, bypass Kinetic Barriers entirely.

“Wouldn’t the Spartan laser take shepard out quick. And someone wants to argue that it would be hard aiming master chiefs a super soldier. Also it take about as long as the nuke launcher to fire.”

But then Shepard doesn’t need to worry about a long aiming time with his other guns, Plus, as of Mass Effect 2, Biotics/tech abilities are his to command, seriously screwing over the chief

“Jwlynas, the Collector Particle Beam Rifle is focused and directed radiation. It is not a laser.”

Ah, fair enough. Surely that’d still mess up M’s day something fierce though?

well since ME2 commander shepard has become a cybernetic super soldier.
he has cybernetic ocular implants, bone, skin, and muscle weave, all of his implants secrete med-gel allowing for rapid regeneration of flesh and bone. his skin weaves make his flesh resistant to gunfire, his muscle weave make him physically stronger about the strength of a krogan(commander shepard was able to quickly recover and lift multiple metal bulkheads with little physical strain), and his bone weave makes him highly resistant to blunt trauma.

Canon shepard is a soldier class, so he wont have any biotic powers in this match.
but thats fine because soldier is more then enough to drop MC.

1. MC’s shields wont last long against mass effect weaponry. plus soldiers can use all ammo types, which means disrutor ammo is gonna eat chief alive. (basecally emp bullets).
2. Shepards arsenal is much larger, he’s gonna bring five weapons to the fight. vindicator assualt rifle, eviserator shotgun, widow maker anti-material sniper rifle, carnifex handcannon, one of many heavy weapons, maybe the M-622 avalanche.

a. vindicator assualt rifle- 5 round burst weapon effective vs shields, armor, and barriers. trigger can be pulsed. very deadly at an range.
b. eviserator shotgun-cereburus made assualt shotgun, rapid fire, power rivaling that of the claymore shotgun(one shot one kill weapon). effective vs barriers. low ammo.
c. widow maker anti-material sniper rifle-incapable of being wielded by a human(would shatter their arms). made to plow through shielding and armor to destroy light tanks and other vehicles.
d. carnifex handcannon-ME’s magnum, lighly accurate, weak against shields, strong against armor.
e. M-622 alavanche- a cyroblast, mainly a support defense weapon, can snap freeze enemies for 15-20 seconds. makes a cloud of Bose-Einstein condensate(a mass of super-cooled subatomic particles).

this is a ROFLstomp in the favor of shepard.
Shepard for the FP award.

need more people to comment on this…need someone to defend MC or shepard cant get an FP award.

“biotic powers don’t penetrate shields”

Kinetic shields which utilize the same forces working against them. Halo shields utilize energy-state repulsive barriers.

“Also how powerful is a bolt of plasma from a plasma rifle.”

Pretty powerful, but it still has mass that can be repelled.

@Required: Name
which can take the same amount of fire as the mass effect 1 multiple bar shield, with faster recharge rates, not to mention the entire universe of ME went into a weapons overhaul everyone switched to thermal clips to increase weapon effectiveness.

@Jimmie_Rox
the cain has tracking ability the further he is from chief when he fires it the more accurate itll be. but i wouldn use something like that against MC, the particle beam would work well, or the avalanche, maybe the rocket launcher.

Hey, Jimmy.

Nice to see you up and at ‘em again.

@ Mata

Cheers matey, you too.

@ Dark

Dodge something moving at 5 km/s? Don’t be freaking ridiculous, there’s no way MC could dodge that, and it’s AoE is huge, they had to make it non friendly fire in the game mechanics simply because otherwise there wouldn’t be a single point in the game where you could fire it and survive the blast radius is so large.

Do you think MC should get some of the powers like a jet pack from halo reach. They are part of the halo universe, but if he can’t get them its no big deal.

“I really need to know something. How does anyone know what effect mass effect weapons will have on chiefs shields. Some people say it’ll make chief explode. Also shepards shield isn’t as strong as the one in mass effect 1.”

because unsc weapons work fine on chiefs shields and thier workhorse gun is crap. Mass effect small arms are extremely advanced and powerful. so theres no doubt that they be hell on chief.

make chief explode, probable not they dont make people explode on mass effect.

the shields are stronger on mass effect 2 but the weapons are a lot more powerful as well to counteract the increase in shield power, and armor.

and MC only gets what he usually carries.
