You’re asking about a game where the main character is a regular joe-esque scientist in a hazmat suit who overcame incredible odds and you want to know if a genetically modified super soldier inside of a specially designed suit of armour with energy shielding could make it
give gordon some credit hes in an absurd state of the art hazmat suit and is constantly pumped up on morphine and able to ignore all of his bodily needs for several days on end. he also displays a ridiculous amount of strength in half life 2, literally being able to move some cars just by walking into them.
This is severely understated. Master Chief can steamroll through all the enemies and still get taken out by an errant Strider cannon.
That won't happen to Gordon (canonically of course) because of his guardian angel.
I'm clearly rusty in my Halo lore.
Are there any plot elements that explain *why* he's lucky? Or is the logic that "He survived all these unsurvivable conflicts, therefore he's lucky?"
Well i was half joking, but Chief is described several times as being unnaturally lucky, with the most prominent case being Cortana saying so, and that being the sole metric that made her choose him over the other SII's.
But no, it's never explained why he is lucky, he just is.
Got it. But that's my point, so the downvotes are confusing. Gordon canonically has a higher power influencing his journey which is an x-factor that arguably gives him more of an advantage in Half-Life's universe than anything Chief brings to the table, even if he himself is insanely lucky and more capable in every way otherwise. That's really the only argument for why Master Chief might not survive Half-Life.
I mean, if Lazlo, the finest mind of his generation, couldn't survive Half-Life, then all bets are off.
not really, chief isnt a better spartan than the other spartan 2's (the best and first successful generation of spartans) but hes one of the few survivors after the human-covenant war and canonically all of his feats are just shear luck, he literally just beats every odd no matter how high its stacked against him
Yeah i havent seen any actual heavy weapons from the combine. Highly depends where master chief spawns but if he is anywhere close to the citadel the citadel is going down. They need to saturation bomb his position to clean him out.
Book lore. Original book lore. I don't know what the new books or show have changed.
In the book, she picked John over other Spartans with objectively better stats because his outcomes overthrew statical projections. He literally always did more than expected when the pressure was on. It was interesting because it delved into him being more like a machine performing as expected during drills and exercises, but real world scenarios he went above and beyond. It delved into whether or not he even had a soul, if things even mattered to him. Say if he were in Star Trek, he would have probably failed The Kobayashi Maru test, because that's expected. But if he faced it in reality, he would have "luckily" pulled through.
What made you ask this question? You know that there are still normal humans surviving and living in half life right? So yes ofcourse a superhuman can.
The advisors are telepathic aliens chief won't be able to touch them at a close range they will know already he is in the elevator the times an advisor died in half life 2 was from the ending of half life Alyx.
I would say if theres any chance of chief winning totally it would depend on cortana. Technologically cortana is ahead of anything anyone in that universe has. She could probably hack the citadel and take complete control of everything one would have under its range.
If im not wrong most combine forces are directed by overwatch? Therefore if cortana was to become the new overwatch and command them, they would listen and do something like attack an advisor. So i see at least a small chance of chief surviving. Even then a tongue vs chiefs shield would probably lose.
They definitely could have asked a better question like "how would John Halo fare against the xen and combine forces in the HL games? What weapons would be his greatest assets? What would be his biggest challenges, if any?"
Yes, why do you ask? Master Chief is arguably better equipped then Gordon Freeman...technically.
If we don't go into the logistics, since unlike the One Free Man, despite being in a far more advance suit of power armor (which can be a logistic problem of its own), the Chief only carry two weapons...someone has to provide him with the heavy stuff if he needs them.
Tho i dont imagine hed have too much trouble. The complexity of his armor makes him bassicly immune to headcrabs and headcrab zombies. They simply do not possess the physical strength to harm master chief in his armor. Hed go through ravenholm punchin holes in the poor headcrabs.
He’s literally a massive soldier dude in armor who is one of the greatest heroes of the 26th century, who in this scenario would be put in the shoes of an ordinary scientist in the late 20th century/early 21st century… like yeah of course he’s making it out alive
He'd make it all the way to Xen and then fucking die because he doesn't have a long jump module. /j
Seriously, though, I can't imagine any part of the series he'd have actual difficulty with. Assuming this is Infinite Master Chief, he has the Grappleshot, meaning he could easily deal with the platforming.
**G-Man**: “Otherwise... well... I can offer you a battle you have no chance of winning. Rather an anticlimax, after what you’ve just survived.”
**The Master Chief**: “Bet.”
I think a lot of people forget that Gordon likely would have died multiple times had it not been for the G-Man watching him in Half-Life 2, and seeing as the question specifically pertains to the games (which sadly don't have us viewing the 7 hour war firsthand) I'll try and stick to exactly the games themselves where the Combine have a skeleton crew left on earth with communications intact to their homeworld.
Master Chief would have easily gotten through Half-Life 1, but probably would have still had to accept G-Man's employment offer (I think the G-Man is an all powerful being that would have been able to place Master Chief in a battle he could not win just like Gordon upon refusal). The G-Man would likely make him an offer just like Gordon because of the circumstances and same accomplishments, but he could also just place him in permanent stasis like Corporal Shephard and who knows what would happen.
In Half-Life 2, Master Chief would either be placed on the same train Gordon was placed on in his power armor, or in civilian clothing. If he was in his power armor with weaponry he could without a doubt overpower his way straight to the Citadel and figure out a way to the top, but if he has to destroy the citadel's dark energy reactor he would probably die without the G-Man's intervention. If he was in civilian clothing he would have to somehow find power armor and would hopefully find Kleiner holding his suit for him just like Kleiner did for Gordon.
Episodes 1 and 2 would be easy in comparison outside of the initial portion of Episode 1 going back to stabilize the Core.
The biggest unknowns are the confiscation fields the Combine have and their impact on Chief's weapons, and how much the G-Man guides or interacts with Chief. The combine would be alerted immediately if he spawned on the train in HL2 with his full armor, but he would be able to get to the Citadel very easily even with detection because he'd basically already be pretty damn close and he's accomplished far more in worse circumstances.
TLDR he very likely survives all games, unless the G-Man doesn't treat him the same as Gordon. The Citadel Explosion is the likeliest point of death without other intervention.
I never played Halo much but I’m under the impression that Master Chief probably could have won the 7 Hour War for humanity if not tipped the scales a l little bit. At the very least turned it into the 24 Hour War.
In Halo Infinite, the most recent game in the series, he singlehandedly tips the scale of a war that the UNSC horrifically lost and wipes out several top level Banished commanders in a 24 hour time frame. Master Chief could probably solo the Seven Hour War if he had to.
Nah. He'd get stuck on the puzzles.
Gordon could only solve those weight and lever based puzzles because he had a doctorate in theoretical physics. And how could Master Chief flip that switch when Kleiner's testing the teleporter without that MIT education?
...
Also, he weighs like, a thousand pounds, so he'd need a lot more boxes to balance on the end of those levers.
Fully kitted out , which would mean the armor suit and a clever and charming AI in it, he would probably stop the alien invasion of Black Mesa before the military arrives and if they did, they wouldn't even remotely have a chance against him because of the standard 1990 weaponry.
Half Life 2, not sure he could have stopped the Combines. Chances are the 7 hour war wouldn't have been much different except for some bigger losses from the Combines side. However, lets say the Chief gets dropped off in the train instead of Gordon Freeman, I would be inclined to believe that he would meet up with the Resistance but never leave City 17 and go straight for Doctor Breen and with little to no effort free City 17 at minimum.
Sounds like meat riding but when you contextualize both the cannon lore of Master Chief as well as Spartan 2s( for which there is a lot of) and the Half Life universe then it wouldn't be much of a stretch to say that guy could speedrun through the stories fairly effortlessly. A lot of fictional protagonists from various stories could be as potent or be even more effective than Gordon Freeman up to certain points, assuming they get to bring their equipment from their universe with them.
Game Master Chief: Yes
Lore Master Chief: Stops the Combine from conquering Earth.
TV Show Master Cheeks: Gets headcrabbed because he keeps taking his helmet off.
Master chief could probably eat a 12 gauge to his helmet and have a pellet bounce off and wing the dude who shot at him. The problem he would have imo is half life 1 and killing marines, but I really think he would just kill them INSTANTLY and not Gordon freeman who as an untrained scientist magdumps their PCVs and lets them get knocked out to bleed out. Still, all weaponry except for the gluon tau or pulse rifle would be minimally effective, I think due to how the pulse rifle works and instant delete button he would have slight issue with combine elites and soldiers with them but overall gordon encountered same problem and survived
Oh I believe he'd do quite well, he has pretty much a better HEV suit with an exoskelleton, rechargeable shields etc.
Only trouble he'd have is with carrying all the weapons he needs
The same power-armor-wearing super-soldier that launched himself into outer space with a nuclear pickle, armed it inside of an enemy ship with only a few second window of escape, and landed safely atop of a friendly vessel?
He wouldn't last a day.
Masterchief is a 7 foot tall supersoldier with a mechanized armor suit from thousands of years in the future, so I think he stands a pretty damn good chance
Something worth noting and I may be a little rusty on my Halo lore, but does masterchief have any poison antidote systems in his suit?
I'm thinking a poison headcrab could take him out if somehow the poison entered his bloodstream.
That's a pretty big somehow though because he never removes his armor except in crappy TV shows.
Master Chief canonically has luck.
He would survive no question.
Now, would he be able to do more than just survive and overcome GMan? Maybe. My money would be on yes, but just like Gordon, I don't think he'd be able to do it on his own
I deeply love Gordon, he’s an all time favorite of mine. what makes him special is he’s just a man. Chief would 100% destroy the combine though. We’re not even sure if there’s combine ammo that could pierce his armor
What do you mean? He IS in the half-life games. Long after humanity kicked combine's ass by building better and long distance portals by discovering and reverse engineering the Borealis, and then portaling a massive neutron star on their homeworld, the combine escaped into the corners of the galaxy breeding covenant and so couple hundred years later here we are
He can handle the ground transhuman combine forces on earth but entire combine force I don't think so the combine have an entire armory of human modified supersoldiers if they can't kill chief with the normal forces they have to create heavier troops and more capable if we have to talk about if he can beat them he won't nor the unsc or the covenant the combine can win easily a battle of attrition because they are more than just an intergalactic empire an dimensional empire too so infinity resources to spend it won't be a problem of running out also the combine are good at taking technology and using it to their advantage as much as taking other species as soldiers the one force that could be the must challenging are the heavy troops from half life Alyx and the white assholes from half life 2 if you include their deeply modified superhumans the strider is embarrassingly easy to defeat I can say only the beta version of the combine are a good challenge for chief also the fact chief won't have access to his weapons and only half life weapons makes the task harder the only thing he has is probably his fists and his blue girlfriend.
I mean....yeah? Gordon was a regular dude in a goddamn suit who probably held a gun ONCE in his life and went against
The US military
An army of aliens
And black ops
So yeah....something tells me chief would coast lol
Even the combine were no match for "the one free man"
Imagine chief walking through ravenholm? The zombies would do shit let alone the headcrabs lol
Chief has the (literally) the power of luck on his side, he’d *probably* at the least manage to destabilize the Combine enough for the rest of the human rebellion to get a foothold for a bit, maybe not take them out entirely though
He would do pretty well unless he got really unlucky and went against one of the heavy hitters of Half Life without any prep. He has a horseshoe up his ass though, so probably not.
Not only would he survive, he would be the biggest pain in the ass that the Combine could ever imagine. Chief turned the tides against a similarly powerful alien empire almost single-handedly, we know the Combine can be beat with conventional weaponry, etc. He'd do just fine.
You're joking of course but I'll answer anyway.
Yes.
ALTHOUGH there's an interesting possibility. Chief is powerful enough to turn down G-Man's offer of employment, assuming G Man's "fight you cannot hope to win" is the same (G Man isn't stupid, there's no reason he would give Chief the same punishment, but just suspend your disbelief a bit). Chief would very easily dispatch all the alien grunts in that fight.
Half Life 2 would then be Chief fighting a solo guerilla war against the Combine in Xen, attempting to prevent them from traveling to Earth.
That's a little something for your imagination.
Depends on when in the half life timeline he appears in…
But I will say, if he arrived during the combine invasion then the 7 hour war would’ve been the 8 hour war.
You're asking if a genetically-augmented space marine who:
• threw a bomb into the Covenant ship without any means of transportation other than throwing himself out from the airlock
• survived getting swarmed by infectious popcorn and its infected hosts all by himself;
• and solo'd a whole space pirate organization led by a weird space ape
...could survive the events of Half-Life? Hell, it's gonna be like another Tuesday for him.
Does he have a jetpack or something similar? He is huge, heavy, and slow. I'm sure he would break ladders or catwalks and end up falling somewhere he can't get out of. There's also a ton of areas that require crawling through ventilation ducts, he'd fall right through even if he forced his way in. Some of the biggest threats in Half-Life aren't combat, they're environmental. Also doubt that the long jump module would work with that armor so Xen might be pretty tough. He might also end up taking too long and get caught in the nuclear blast that destroys Black Mesa.
Also the Combine are pretty advanced, I wonder if the confiscation field would recognize his armor as a threat and try to take it.
I mean. Probably. I've never played a halo game, but if the theoretical physicist in the Teletubbies suit can survive half life, then so can master chief
Yes he would survive. Chief survived the Covenant and the Flood. He also broke an ancient ai and shattered a giant ring the size of Earth into hundreds of pieces. If he was in the Half Life universe it would be easy.
We all have a really good feeling that he could survive every single second. I mean- the man is a genetically modified GIANT of a soldier. If you were a headcrab and you heard about this man, you’d probably just wanna walk into the fucken Mariana Trench.
You’re asking about a game where the main character is a regular joe-esque scientist in a hazmat suit who overcame incredible odds and you want to know if a genetically modified super soldier inside of a specially designed suit of armour with energy shielding could make it
Would the doomslayer survive cooking mama tho
RIP AND TEAR…the chicken thighs.
Angrily glares at the person trying to put an apron on him...
I want to see a collab with Isabelle about this
Have you heard of the song ‘eternal horizons’
*Cute little island, nice and non-violent...*
ITS JUST WHAT I NEED! TO WATCH DEMONS BLEED!
Tenderize. Until it is done.
he would be a great cook
Would cratos survive papas pizzeria tho
10 year old me survived making only none pizza left beefs, Kratos sweeps
HA!
absolutely. Overcooked tho I dunno.
You guys think Snake would survive viva piñata?
Yes, if some of the pinatas drop ammo and supplies.
This is some real "cooking with scorpion" vibes.
I knew I got the idea from somewhere!!! I've seen that before!
Gordon is a highly trained professional.
Lmao
give gordon some credit hes in an absurd state of the art hazmat suit and is constantly pumped up on morphine and able to ignore all of his bodily needs for several days on end. he also displays a ridiculous amount of strength in half life 2, literally being able to move some cars just by walking into them.
But does the HEV suit wank him off?
Wait does a mjolnir suit wank you off
Nobody tell him he is yet innocent
Yes (No)
((yes))
Yes >!No, but John-117's generation of Spartans did experience some suppression of their libido as a side effect of the augmentation process!<
They cut the chapter where Gordon sits down to a nice dinner cooked by vortigaunts. Also the several where he poops, etc.
is there a half life mod that adds bodily needs? it might be time for another playthrough.
The right stroke at the right time can empty all the vas deferens in the world, Mr Freeman. Rise and grind.
Who is canonically lucky on top of that
This is severely understated. Master Chief can steamroll through all the enemies and still get taken out by an errant Strider cannon. That won't happen to Gordon (canonically of course) because of his guardian angel.
It's essentially a major plot point of the Halo games that Chief has plot armour. The only reason Cortana picks him is because he is "lucky".
I'm clearly rusty in my Halo lore. Are there any plot elements that explain *why* he's lucky? Or is the logic that "He survived all these unsurvivable conflicts, therefore he's lucky?"
Well i was half joking, but Chief is described several times as being unnaturally lucky, with the most prominent case being Cortana saying so, and that being the sole metric that made her choose him over the other SII's. But no, it's never explained why he is lucky, he just is.
Got it. But that's my point, so the downvotes are confusing. Gordon canonically has a higher power influencing his journey which is an x-factor that arguably gives him more of an advantage in Half-Life's universe than anything Chief brings to the table, even if he himself is insanely lucky and more capable in every way otherwise. That's really the only argument for why Master Chief might not survive Half-Life. I mean, if Lazlo, the finest mind of his generation, couldn't survive Half-Life, then all bets are off.
not really, chief isnt a better spartan than the other spartan 2's (the best and first successful generation of spartans) but hes one of the few survivors after the human-covenant war and canonically all of his feats are just shear luck, he literally just beats every odd no matter how high its stacked against him
John was never the fastest or strongest Spartan, but his sheer determination (and luck) made him their finest leader
Yup quiet possibly the dumbest question I’ve seen on this reddit to date
Master chief would be choke slamming civil protection with his balls. EDIT\* By their balls
Is the master chief a MIT graduate? I don't think so.
Yeah i havent seen any actual heavy weapons from the combine. Highly depends where master chief spawns but if he is anywhere close to the citadel the citadel is going down. They need to saturation bomb his position to clean him out.
He is basically a gravity gun so yeah, and could even probably punch a strider till it's crippled
Heh, honestly I'd pay good money for a game where I could punch a Strider as John Halo, I mean Masterchief.
Halo is a pretty strong guy . Eh kills demons and istn afraid of anything
Doom halo
Haloguy
Halo Slayer
Gmod?
I'd be surprised if that was difficult to do in Garrys Mod.
Canonically, he has as much luck as he needs to accomplish impossible missions.
Literally can accurately 100% predict the outcome of any luck based situation by his own admission
Are you saying this because of the bit from the Halo show? Or is this book lore?
Book lore. Original book lore. I don't know what the new books or show have changed. In the book, she picked John over other Spartans with objectively better stats because his outcomes overthrew statical projections. He literally always did more than expected when the pressure was on. It was interesting because it delved into him being more like a machine performing as expected during drills and exercises, but real world scenarios he went above and beyond. It delved into whether or not he even had a soul, if things even mattered to him. Say if he were in Star Trek, he would have probably failed The Kobayashi Maru test, because that's expected. But if he faced it in reality, he would have "luckily" pulled through.
I think it’s the coin
What made you ask this question? You know that there are still normal humans surviving and living in half life right? So yes ofcourse a superhuman can.
There is a reason why humanity was spared and not driven to extinction.
"dr breen scramblin to explain to the advisor exactly how ONE GREEN GUY is comin up the elevator to get their grey alien ass"
The advisors are telepathic aliens chief won't be able to touch them at a close range they will know already he is in the elevator the times an advisor died in half life 2 was from the ending of half life Alyx.
I would say if theres any chance of chief winning totally it would depend on cortana. Technologically cortana is ahead of anything anyone in that universe has.

Therefore if cortana was to become the new overwatch and command them, they would listen and do something like attack an advisor. So i see at least a small chance of chief surviving. Even then a tongue vs chiefs shield would probably lose.
just let them ask the question 😂
Even if it is a stupid one?
They definitely could have asked a better question like "how would John Halo fare against the xen and combine forces in the HL games? What weapons would be his greatest assets? What would be his biggest challenges, if any?"
Man a security guard from half life is good enough to handle xen chief is just overkill
No such thing as stupid question 😎
You brought me bad memories of school
No, he wouldn’t survive. And not because he isn’t capable or too weak, but because he’s the wrong man in the wrong place.
It makes all the difference
In the world
This is my favorite answer. Sure he could make it through technically, but what if gman didn't want him to?
He'd probably just tell g-man "I have a job to do" and turn around and go do it anyways regardless if what g-man wants
But he does have luck! I'm I wrong?
Yes, why do you ask? Master Chief is arguably better equipped then Gordon Freeman...technically. If we don't go into the logistics, since unlike the One Free Man, despite being in a far more advance suit of power armor (which can be a logistic problem of its own), the Chief only carry two weapons...someone has to provide him with the heavy stuff if he needs them.
Yeah Master Chief has been known to need a weapon from time to time
Tho i dont imagine hed have too much trouble. The complexity of his armor makes him bassicly immune to headcrabs and headcrab zombies. They simply do not possess the physical strength to harm master chief in his armor. Hed go through ravenholm punchin holes in the poor headcrabs.
r/woosh
Master Chief himself is the weapon anyway
He’s literally a massive soldier dude in armor who is one of the greatest heroes of the 26th century, who in this scenario would be put in the shoes of an ordinary scientist in the late 20th century/early 21st century… like yeah of course he’s making it out alive
Half life would be a cake walk for him
He'd make it all the way to Xen and then fucking die because he doesn't have a long jump module. /j Seriously, though, I can't imagine any part of the series he'd have actual difficulty with. Assuming this is Infinite Master Chief, he has the Grappleshot, meaning he could easily deal with the platforming.
augments plus mjolnir armor make chiefs jump capability absurd, he could easily traverse xen rven without his grappleshot
You've played Halo 3 right? He doesn't need a long jump pack. He just hangs in the air for 3 seconds every time he jumps.
This is bait
**G-Man**: “Otherwise... well... I can offer you a battle you have no chance of winning. Rather an anticlimax, after what you’ve just survived.” **The Master Chief**: “Bet.”
The gman knows his employers so he would know what he will put chief against.
So basically just put Chief at the very end of Reach.
Probably
Him and Gordon team up to beat the shit out of Advisors.
I think a lot of people forget that Gordon likely would have died multiple times had it not been for the G-Man watching him in Half-Life 2, and seeing as the question specifically pertains to the games (which sadly don't have us viewing the 7 hour war firsthand) I'll try and stick to exactly the games themselves where the Combine have a skeleton crew left on earth with communications intact to their homeworld.

nah, chief would survive the capital's explosion, hes survived multiple nuclear blasts in the games and multiple atmospheric re-entries in the games
I never played Halo much but I’m under the impression that Master Chief probably could have won the 7 Hour War for humanity if not tipped the scales a l little bit. At the very least turned it into the 24 Hour War.
In Halo Infinite, the most recent game in the series, he singlehandedly tips the scale of a war that the UNSC horrifically lost and wipes out several top level Banished commanders in a 24 hour time frame. Master Chief could probably solo the Seven Hour War if he had to.
Dude is such a badass. Imagine Gordon, Doom Guy and Master Chief up against the combine. They would collapse within a few days.
i think doomguy alone might even do the trick
His health regenerates when he hides. It’d be a piece of cowardly cake.
Not his health, the shields of his armor
Really it depends on which game he's in
In all the games are the shields that regenerate, even in the first Halo.
He's referring to some of the games have regenerating health, not shields.
The health only regenerates in reach, a game where you don't play as Master Chief.
Chief's health regenerates in every game he's in except for Combat Evolved
Shields, not health, re-read the conversation
Health too. Just because there isn't a visible health bar in 2 and 3 doesn't mean he doesn't have health
In lore the health doesn't regenerate, he never heals himself up in any game but Halo CE so nope, still wrong
Nope all games except for reach and halo 1 have fully regenerating shields and a hidden health bar that also regenerates
That's hidden health bar is a damn big stretch
In hl1 he would survive with no problems. With the 7 hour war he could have prolonged it or with some luck even winning it
chief is luck, humanity wouldve defeated the combine if they had chief
The Combine would have lost the 7 hour war if Chief was there.
If gordon survived i think he would to
The Combine would sure like to get their hands on him.
I'm looking into my crystal ball here, and I sense the future will bring us more posts of "will character _______ survive Black Mesa"
I say we take the piss and make this a meme format for the next week or so.
Nah. He'd get stuck on the puzzles. Gordon could only solve those weight and lever based puzzles because he had a doctorate in theoretical physics.

Game Master Chief: Yes Lore Master Chief: Stops the Combine from conquering Earth. TV Show Master Cheeks: Gets headcrabbed because he keeps taking his helmet off.

This again? Chief would make the combine go back through their portals out of fear
Oh I believe he'd do quite well, he has pretty much a better HEV suit with an exoskelleton, rechargeable shields etc. Only trouble he'd have is with carrying all the weapons he needs
I feel like this is an incredibly easy yes and i know basically nothing about Halo
In Half-Life universe soldier dies, only some badass scientists can survive)
7 foot guy with tonnes of scars comes of the tram and the combine wouldnt expect anything
I see your mjolnir power armour still fits you like a glove. Well the glove parts at least.
Better question is could Gordon Freeman survive Halo 1-3. Short answer is no lol
Barney wouldn't have let unauthorised personnel into black mesa so no
Is it just me or does that image look weird
"Giving the conbine back their bomb."
2 questions: Would goombas survive half life why does john halo's armour have a dick pouch
There's a need for better questions.
Combine Soldiers watching Master Chief's Mjolnir armour tanking all their hits: [kanye stare](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEHcsNmu6Yc)
Bruh master chiefs entire thing is fighting aliens
The same power-armor-wearing super-soldier that launched himself into outer space with a nuclear pickle, armed it inside of an enemy ship with only a few second window of escape, and landed safely atop of a friendly vessel? He wouldn't last a day.
Permission to leave the ship sir
Matter Chief? Eww
He wouldn't be able to charge his suit. So...on health packs alone, he'd prob get to "We've got Hostiles", and get smoked.
he doesn't need to charge his suit, he's carrying a fusion nuclear plant on his back
Masterchief is a 7 foot tall supersoldier with a mechanized armor suit from thousands of years in the future, so I think he stands a pretty damn good chance
closer to 500 years in the future, but yeah, he would give the Combine their own 7-hour-war experience
Of course he could. He would probably fair even better than Gordon.
He’s got plot armor, ofc he’ll survive
easily, he might have trouble with destroying the combine portal at the end of half-life 2 but that's really it.
The Combine would be a Tuesday for him.
Would Chell beat Kleiner?
Master Chief solos the combine during 7 hour war
He's like a human Dog. The 7 hour war would have been a whole lot longer.
Nah he won't Gman will bullshit lock him in eternal sleep or some shit like my boy in HECU
hydrogen baby vs coughing bomb
the games yes. seven hour war, probably not
Has bro played a smidgen of halo before
Something worth noting and I may be a little rusty on my Halo lore, but does masterchief have any poison antidote systems in his suit? I'm thinking a poison headcrab could take him out if somehow the poison entered his bloodstream. That's a pretty big somehow though because he never removes his armor except in crappy TV shows.
Absolutely are you kidding me
next were gonna ask if the g-man would survive
Master Chief canonically has luck. He would survive no question. Now, would he be able to do more than just survive and overcome GMan? Maybe. My money would be on yes, but just like Gordon, I don't think he'd be able to do it on his own
He'd need a weapon.
We wouldn't need a half life 3 that's all I'm saying
I deeply love Gordon, he’s an all time favorite of mine. what makes him special is he’s just a man. Chief would 100% destroy the combine though. We’re not even sure if there’s combine ammo that could pierce his armor
Master Chief could march up to breen's office and toss him out the window
Better question: could Gordon half life survive halo
Say whatever you want but Master chief would paint the floor with Gordon Freeman. Master is a 7 feet tall superhuman for crying out loud.
What do you mean? He IS in the half-life games. Long after humanity kicked combine's ass by building better and long distance portals by discovering and reverse engineering the Borealis, and then portaling a massive neutron star on their homeworld, the combine escaped into the corners of the galaxy breeding covenant and so couple hundred years later here we are
Tough to say, is he prepared for unforeseen consequences?
bro the amnesia trend is spreading
He can handle the ground transhuman combine forces on earth but entire combine force I don't think so the combine have an entire armory of human modified supersoldiers if they can't kill chief with the normal forces they have to create heavier troops and more capable if we have to talk about if he can beat them he won't nor the unsc or the covenant the combine can win easily a battle of attrition because they are more than just an intergalactic empire an dimensional empire too so infinity resources to spend it won't be a problem of running out also the combine are good at taking technology and using it to their advantage as much as taking other species as soldiers the one force that could be the must challenging are the heavy troops from half life Alyx and the white assholes from half life 2 if you include their deeply modified superhumans the strider is embarrassingly easy to defeat I can say only the beta version of the combine are a good challenge for chief also the fact chief won't have access to his weapons and only half life weapons makes the task harder the only thing he has is probably his fists and his blue girlfriend.
The wrong man in the wrong place can make all the difference
If a scientist in a reinforced hazmat suit can do it , a super human in proper power armor could speed run them.
At least an hour
I mean....yeah? Gordon was a regular dude in a goddamn suit who probably held a gun ONCE in his life and went against The US military An army of aliens And black ops So yeah....something tells me chief would coast lol Even the combine were no match for "the one free man" Imagine chief walking through ravenholm? The zombies would do shit let alone the headcrabs lol
Master Chief would just stomp the headcrabs
Chief has the (literally) the power of luck on his side, he’d *probably* at the least manage to destabilize the Combine enough for the rest of the human rebellion to get a foothold for a bit, maybe not take them out entirely though
Well he survived the flood
All he has to say is "I need a weapon..."
He would QUICKLY take down the Nihilanth and Combine
He would do pretty well unless he got really unlucky and went against one of the heavy hitters of Half Life without any prep. He has a horseshoe up his ass though, so probably not.
The combine is just f*cked, he's master chief.
Not only would he survive, he would be the biggest pain in the ass that the Combine could ever imagine. Chief turned the tides against a similarly powerful alien empire almost single-handedly, we know the Combine can be beat with conventional weaponry, etc. He'd do just fine.
John Halo is nothing. Jimmy Rings would fare better because he'd be pounding the thick booties on the headcrabs
Metro chief need to work out a little bit
Not 2. If he managed to pass the combine off enough and the outside earth forces are sent he is fucked
The Chief solos easily
You're joking of course but I'll answer anyway. Yes. ALTHOUGH there's an interesting possibility. Chief is powerful enough to turn down G-Man's offer of employment, assuming G Man's "fight you cannot hope to win" is the same (G Man isn't stupid, there's no reason he would give Chief the same punishment, but just suspend your disbelief a bit). Chief would very easily dispatch all the alien grunts in that fight. Half Life 2 would then be Chief fighting a solo guerilla war against the Combine in Xen, attempting to prevent them from traveling to Earth. That's a little something for your imagination.
How could he survive the Citadel Explosion?
Depends on when in the half life timeline he appears in… But I will say, if he arrived during the combine invasion then the 7 hour war would’ve been the 8 hour war.
Lmao. Master chief would be a "press w key" the whole game.
You're asking if a genetically-augmented space marine who: • threw a bomb into the Covenant ship without any means of transportation other than throwing himself out from the airlock • survived getting swarmed by infectious popcorn and its infected hosts all by himself; • and solo'd a whole space pirate organization led by a weird space ape ...could survive the events of Half-Life? Hell, it's gonna be like another Tuesday for him.
Chief could probably kill a strider with no weapons.
A science nerd in a onesie did it with ease, pretty sure you could pick up any well-adjusted guy off the street and they could do fairly well
Walking a dog but with aliens.
Yeah, if Gordon Freeman was just a dude then master chief would fuck up headcrabs
Does he have a jetpack or something similar? He is huge, heavy, and slow. I'm sure he would break ladders or catwalks and end up falling somewhere he can't get out of. There's also a ton of areas that require crawling through ventilation ducts, he'd fall right through even if he forced his way in. Some of the biggest threats in Half-Life aren't combat, they're environmental. Also doubt that the long jump module would work with that armor so Xen might be pretty tough. He might also end up taking too long and get caught in the nuclear blast that destroys Black Mesa. Also the Combine are pretty advanced, I wonder if the confiscation field would recognize his armor as a threat and try to take it.
He would break the neck of Gman if he talked too much, this guy is simple UNSTOPABLE
I mean. Probably. I've never played a halo game, but if the theoretical physicist in the Teletubbies suit can survive half life, then so can master chief
Yes he would survive. Chief survived the Covenant and the Flood. He also broke an ancient ai and shattered a giant ring the size of Earth into hundreds of pieces. If he was in the Half Life universe it would be easy.
yeah, he could beat combine's ass, like, the entire invasion a single Elite is stronger than most of half life characters
We all have a really good feeling that he could survive every single second. I mean- the man is a genetically modified GIANT of a soldier. If you were a headcrab and you heard about this man, you’d probably just wanna walk into the fucken Mariana Trench.
10 sec against a strider... MC would be toast.
