    “can it be done?”

    No.

    An army of Spooks couldn’t find Bourne. MC would never find Jason if he doesn’t want to be found.

    Yeah, and that bright green armour just doesn’t scream “I’m stealthy!” in a modern society.

    And as Mata said, you’ll only find Bourne if he wants you to.

    in order for him to hunt bourne he would have to be on present day earth, how
    exactly is 7 ft armored super soldier suppose to hunt anyone down before law
    enforcement and other govement officials haul him away.

    MC has no contacts, no resources in order to find bourne in the first place, and
    cortana shouldnt count since she is outside help, as well she probaly couldn’t
    even intergrate with modern tech to help him in the first place

    so unless MC going round with a photo of bourne stopping everyone he meets on
    the off chance he lucks out, he is pretty much boned.

    “in order for him to hunt bourne he would have to be on present day earth, how
    exactly is 7 ft armored super soldier suppose to hunt anyone down before law
    enforcement and other govement officials haul him away.”

    he could claim he was on the way to a sci-fi convention, although he would still have to deal with the fact that he needs a job

    without money, he cant fund his one man search for bourne, so he will need to make some moolah.

    Yeah, like thats a factor. Should he need money, i think MC will find ways to get it with minimal effort(robberies rule!). Finding the guy is the problem, and that whole mission screams impossible in every way.

    MC is chanceless.

    Okay, so Chief can’t find this Bourne fellow. Can Bourne even stop Chief?

    With the way this sounds, it sounds like the biggest game of Hide and Seek.

    Well the way I see it is that MC will never find Bourne. I never read the books but I saw the movies and Bourne is just to good at not being seen. Plus in order to even attempt to find Bourne MC would have to take off his suit which would then leave him vulnerable and once Bourne know MC is following him the only thing MC is gonna find is a bullet to the head from a block away.

    @Akuma:

    I’m not too updated on Bournes’ pure fighting skills. However, i doubt he would ever match MC in a proper fight, but that is irrelevant. MC could never force him into a real fight anyway. The closest thing would be Bourne sniping off MCs head when the guy is forced to remove the armor due to stealth reasons.

    Bourne got this in the bag.

    in a straight, normal, 1v1 fight, the chief might win

    however it seems that he has to find bourne first

    getting the funding for a worldwide hunt, as well as bourne keeping on the move, not to mention the fact that the chief has no outside help, these factors pretty much mean that bourne wins.

    unless chief plays on easy

    He is simply impossible to find for the likes of the Chief. If he wants any chance he must get rid of the very visible armor, and if he does that he is susceptible to sniper fire. Not too much to be said about it really.

    Ok, if this is a straight up duel, then I am doing with the Super Solder (MC). No offense to Bourne (loved the movies/books) but he is still just a very skilled human. Now, if this is search and eliminate, then Borne definitely has the upper hand. If he chooses to not be found, Bourne will not be found. Now, if MC was allowed to have Cortana with him…well, things would be very different now, wouldn’t it. But right now, Bourne is in the upper hand for not being found.

    John would get “lucky”.

    Nah, I’m just kidding.

    Even if John had the expertise of Cortana it is still dubious if he could find Jason. Jason’s main shtick about being able to hide was the fact that he couldn’t be traced by the normal “in the system” means e.g. passports, credit cards, ect. The best Cortana could do is highjack some satalites and point them at earth and try to find him among the other 6 billion peaole there, . Even then all Jason has to do is be under a roof and then that becomes totally useless.

    One thing though. Unlike the Bounty matches that have gone up, this one doesn’t have a time limit so John just might actually get “lucky” with a satalite search… after years of continious searching. After that it is just a short jet ride away and hope that Jason hasn’t moved on because I just don’t think Jason has what it takes to bring down the Chief in a straight fight. Then again if Jason manages to get his hands on some explosives and/or an anti-material sniper rifle then he might even be able to take John down.

    There really isn’t all that much going for John’s favor here.

    How would Cortana help? The distance between her tech and our tech is about 500 years, which is paramount to taking a TV back to medieval Europe and looking for a plug in. Even if Cortana was able to “jack in,” what could possibly learn to track him?

    Cortana – “Hey Chief, he was last seen in New York!”
    MC – Where is he now?”
    Cortana – “…………………”

    OriginalA does have a point. Seeing as there is no time limit, MC might get lucky. Who knows, he offers to help out the American Government in Afghanistan on the condition they help him track down Bourne…..very improbable, but I guess, a possibility?

    The only reason it’s quote winning is because of some Fanboy Hackers trying to remove votes for Siberia

    I wouldn’t be suprise if they throw out all of the Reach votes due to the fact that the Voting Process has been screwed with. Beside there are better names for a planet

    Names like
    Fortuna
    Cybele (Would be great because it’s known as Earth Mother)
    Diana (Oh yea I would name a planet that)
    Bacchus

    How is Cortana going to help? Bourne cannot be tracked through cell phones, credit cards etc, like other people can. Sending out lots of people across the globe to find him will fail, there are almost 7 billion people to hide amongst. As somebody stated earlier, a sattelite search has fat chance of finding out anything too. Bourne only needs a hat and a pair of sunglasses to be impossible to track that way. And, as someone else pointed out, simply hacking 500 year old tech might prove difficult. We haven’t had computers for all that long, and all of the earliest connection methods are outdated these days. Cortana ain’t made to work with our low-tech stuff. Why waste resources to make a machine that can use 500 year old, vastly outdated tech? In the Halo days that doesn’t exist anymore, of course she’ll have trouble with the vast majority of stuff.

    I would have to agree. With Cortana, MC can have access to any files he wishes to attain on his subject. Not saying that equals Bourne getting captured easily (he can hide in some 3rd world country, where technology is minimal) but with MC’s AI, his [john 117's] chances have just increased a lot. Without Cortana, MC will have to get information through other means. So far, Jason has proven government agency have a very hard time finding him….

    If anything, John will be the one hunted and investigated if he even mentions the name “Jason Bourne.” That and the fact he’s covered in green armor, being 7 ft, very pale, in possesion of guns, has no ID or papers, no concept of “blending in”, and is mystified by the concept of paper money.

    Besides, Jason would see him a mile away and make a suitable welcome, which entails duct tape, C-4, a gas line, a safe house, a pager, a cell phone, and perhaps a car going about 45 mph backwards.

    “I nominate MC for the win because the other side has failed to give any reason other then a half-ass one as “He not going to find him”.”

    Mate, the guidelines state “Here we have a match where the Chief has been tasked to HUNT DOWN and destroy Bourne. Quite simply, can it be done?”. We say Bourne will win, because MC can not complete the first part of his mission, which is, hunting down the agent. How is MC suppose to kill Bourne if he can’t even figure out where he is. Does he shoot blindly into the sky, hoping the the bullets will hit Bourne on their way down? No, he must find Bourne in order to kill him. Seeing as he has no real chance of finding the guy, in a green 7 ft battle suit, it is probably to say that Bourne will outlast MC hunting spree.

    Well if the MC wankers will only accept defeat if MC dies, fine.

    Jason reveals to mass media (which knows that he is a top news story) that he is currently in Berlin at a hotel by leaving a series of clues to the police in a hotel room. MC, somehow, makes it to Berlin and is almost immediately spotted by Bourne through the use of paid lookouts (or cameras, hacking into the transportation comp., etc.). Bourne then rigs an IED in a certain room in a hotel and then waits for MC as he does a systematic search of each hotel. Jason leaves word to the desk that MC is to be shown up to said room, and after MC barges in his usual style- Boom. Just in case, Jason will be position on a nearby roof top with a clear view of the rooms window and a 50-cal. sniper rifle.

    While this just one of many scenarios, the fact is that Bourne will only be found if he wants to be found and if he wants MC to “find” him, then large amounts of explosives, guns, and traps are involved.

    Hell, I can just as well imagine Bourne disguising himself, he does this more in the books, and then offering to take MC to Bourne. Bourne would then lead MC to a safe house of his chosing, tells MC to wait as he goes out to “find more intel,” Bourne goes out to his car, and triggers the 200 pounds of C-4.

So, MC is looked at as the “Grandfather” of the site. From the success of that post and other MC vs matches, the site expanded to what it’s become today. Also, FactPile is featured on a Halo 3 cheat site that sends alot of Halo fans this way. Hope this helps – Admin

    Without MC the site wouldn’t have existed at that moment. It probably would have come in much later though and without MC, it would have lost a lot of popularity. he is after all one of the biggest sources of fresh bloo…. I mean people.

    - See post # 59, ya’ MC wanker. Bourne is the one controlling almost every ascept of a fight if it happens… in ohter words… he wins.
