i doubt samus could get close enough to get to the weak spot(the back, boarding it) mc would blow her up WAY before she got the chance.
Those things aim really slowly. Samus moves fast as hell, especially in her quick side-dashes. And she has enough etanks to survive a few hits even if she didn’t quite make it once or twice.
but not only does the scorpion have a large cannon, it also has a chaingun that can help too. plus it shoots fast.
I’d disagree. Samus is far too slow to strafe faster than the turret can rotate. A Ghost can barely do it, and a banshee is usually killed before it is within range in the first place.
And I highly doubt Samus would survive one hit from either tank, given that each does about 2,000 damage in a direct hit. But, I don’t remember how many tanks she can get in MP. I believe it is fourteen?
For all you people that came here late, my “findings” for the Halo to Metroid damage is way back, around page fifteen or so. It is fully explained.
EDIT- Sorry about that, everyone. I’ve deleted the other post.
omg double post

i think by accident, and if you say something like that, it would be nice if you added something to subject magmoormaster (please 
)
now, i think that tanks are much too slow, and mor realistic, simple fact is, that samus has much better stuff, so it would be unfair to say the least.
1–You’re hardly one to talk about bad posting habits.
2–I was quite serious when I said that the next off-topic post here would be punished heavily.
3–Those kinds of posts are against the rules anyway.
I’ll not lock the topic since discussion is getting back to normal, though.
k. uhm all you have to do is shoot near someone with a scorpion and they die. and u no…mc can just get out of the tank.
yeah, your right. tanks have a blast radius of like 20 feet. i don think she has a chance of evading it 
The real questino is: How much do they hurt?
I believe that MetroidSlayer already stated the damage that a tank would do, but I have to question the figures. How did you figure that one tank does 2,000 damage? And I realize that giving MC a tank is supposed to even the battlefield, but what if Samus had her ship, or would that be unfair?
i think we can imagine the tanks power, but what about suit power?
it is using a shielding system we have no idea how to compare with regular damage output. missiles is hard to compare, because her missiles are obviously less powerful than that of halo (since she has to keep them inside an arm cannon, which once again, makes little logical sense without going into some theory)
They Can Take out a hunter with one hit, but the only thing is, what if the chief was in a scarab O.O
lol. well. as long as the missle hit the ground anywhere near you…well you die
k well…a scarab…hmm… run samus! that thing destroys huge buildings with one hit. samus would be dead before she would even come remotley close.
I believe that the tanks in Halo one has about 2,400 energy, and since it takes two Scorpion hits to kill a Wraith, then each hit must do at least 1,200 damage, and a Wraith’s gun (it can kill a Scorpion in one direct hit) would do about 2,400 damage. I got the tank HP by multiplying the number of plamsa grenades it takes to kill them by the grenade’s individual damage.
EDIT: Which means Samus MAY be able to take one Scorpion hit.
Very well. I can agree to that.
btw someone said a simple screw attack with space jump would destroy a banshee. well um. you see…BANSHEES CAN FRIGGIN’ MOVE YOU KNOW!
So can samus. How do you nkow how much damage in Samus’s shield energy a plasma grenade deals? How do you know that a plasma grenade does the same damage to samus as it does to MC?
it can move and shoot you know. i didn’t think i needed to state that. and obviously samus can move. its talking about her doing a space jump and screw attack.
I’m the one who said the screw attack thing, samus can still move mid screw attack according to all the 2D games, most of which were made by Gunpei himself.
