 Who Would Win? Master Chief from the Halo Series or Rico Rodriguez of the Just Cause Series?

 

 

           This would be an interesting battle. First, I will explain each character's strengths.

 

 

MASTER CHIEF

 

• John has faced countless hordes of alien threats with superhuman ability.
• John is literally a super-soldier. He can hit harder,  jump higher, and run faster than any other human.
• John has defeated the strongest alien leaders in the universe, such as the Prophet of Regret (who Master Chief literally mounted and punched to death), and the Diadact.
• Cortana can assist Chief in a variety of ways, such as computing, controlling technology, and she is a database. She can alert Chief to things he is unaware of.
• Master Chief has access to a variety of Armor Abilities to assist him in combat.
• MJOLNIR Armor and Heads Up Display.
• Moments like the following prove Chief is a boss...

 

 

 

 

RICO RODRIGUEZ

 

• Rico is an experienced parachutist. 
• Rico has a grappling hook launcher on his arm which he can use to tether things together, move to and latch onto objects, attach enemies to things or pull enemies to him, climb, and pull himself along on his parachute.
• Rico has a lot of experience with boarding, operating, and walk/hang/shooting from any vehicle he can find.
• Rico can swim.
• Rico has access to a Black Market.
• This video shows some crazy feats of Rico Rodriguez in gameplay.

 

 

 

SHARED SKILLS

 

• Both characters are skilled in boarding and operating vehicles, but the characters handle vehicles differently.
• Both characters have a strong ability of surviving incredible injuries and still being able to fight.
• Both characters have assassinated several enemy leaders.
• Both characters have an advantage fighting up close and personal.
• Both characters have access to a wide variety of weapons. 
• Neither of the characters quit.

 

COMBAT

 

 

A scenario unfolds between Chief and Rico.

 

The scene: Panau Islands, 2557.

 

     The beautiful Panau Islands are free from the Panay dictatorship, but they have a new problem. The Covenant Storm group who broke away from the Arbiter have taken over Panau. Master Chief and Rico have been separately eliminating the force, but they see each other as a threat.

 

     Rico swoops into the city in a large airplane. He bails out of it and deploys a parachute, sending the uninhabited plane smashing into a deserted tower. He lands atop a skyscraper.

     Master Chief drops in using an ODST insertion unit. The pod crashes down on a building near Rico's. The door hisses and pops off, breaking a window of a nearby skyscraper. The Chief steps out, wielding two Magnums.

     Rico spots the Chief and dives off the edge of his skyscraper toward the adjacent one. Deploying a parachute, he can no longer see his foe. 

     The Chief leaps from his building and peppers Rico's parachute, collapsing it. He reaches Rico and, still falling, grasps Rico by the arm. John activates his jetpack, crashing through a window with Rico.  Activating his headlamps, he began to interrogate the coughing Rico.

     "Who are you? You've been blowing up everything on these islands. I thought that was the Covenant's job."

     "I've been killing as many of these freaks as you," Rico replied, angrily. "I am Rico Rodriguez. I saved these islands from an evil dictator named Panay a couple hundred years ago. Now who, or what, are you?"

     The Chief thought for a second before replying, "That's classified."

     "How am I supposed to know you aren't one of those alien things?" Rico rebutted.

     "I've been hunting the Covenant for several years. First they attacked Harvest and Reach, then they made it to Earth after I destroyed the first Halo weapon. After Halo was activated-"
     John noticed the puzzled expression on Rico's face.

     "Look, I have a history with the 'alien things' that you know nothing of Rico. I plan on keeping it that way."

     "If you're on my side, why did you shoot at me?" Rico argued, untrustingly.

     "You jumped and deployed your parachute to escape me. With you blowing up half the area, I don't know whether you are hostile or not Rico."

     Rico got loud. "Look, Mr. Classified, I'm trying to save Panau like I did before."

     "If you are attempting to liberate Panau, why are you blowing half of it up and killing all of its residents in the process?!"

     "That's it!"

     Rico had had enough. He shot his grappling hook at the Spartan, but it was deflected by a Promethean Shield. Rico threw a grenade in the Chief's direction and leapt from the window they had shattered moments earlier. John kicked the grenade and it detonated outside of the building, shattering several more windows.
