The Escapist Community, everybody. Give 'em a round of applause.henritje said:
Also, because I NEVER PLAYED A DUKE NUKEM GAME I vote Master Chief.
Also, Halo is awesome.
Master Chief. The Duke would get very annoying, very quickly, while the chief acts like a professional. Also, the man can survive falls from orbit and just shake them off like nothing happened.
Also, to quote one of the books: "Death had always seemed like more of an option than an inevitability to [Master Chief]."

Why would they fight each other? All I can see is a alien slaughterfest unlike any the world has ever seen.
They complement each other quite well.

But for the sake of the poll, I'd choose Master Chief, just so that once the world has been saved, there will still be women left for the rest of the guys. The Duke is a hoarder.
Why would The Duke hit you? From what I know as canon, Duke's only reason for fighting to save Earth is that so those scum-sucking aliens can't vaporise all the sexy, sexy ladies that inhabit it. Plus, what could you possibly do to bring his ire upon you? His manly aura of manliness pretty much forces all women to fawn over his manly manliness and submit to his machoistic attitude (which, as we all know, has a heart of gold when it comes to chicks fawning over his manly manliness). All in all, I'm pretty sure you're safe, Miss Aylaine.Aylaine said:

Ok, I just have to point out a few things here.Realitycrash said:-Snip #3-One_Who_Kicks_Ass said:-Snip #2-Realitycrash said:-Snip #1-One_Who_Kicks_Ass said:
#1. It's xenophobe, not speciest. If you read anything within Warhammer 40K, ever you should know that, because it's about every second line in anything about the Imperium, which is about 90% of the litterature because most of it is written from the viewpoint of how the Imperium records everything.
#2. Even just Space Marines have been compitent enough to hold back the tides of Tyranid invasions. Ultramarines are obviously the standard for this, being the first recruitment world to be attacked, but the Blood Ravens have done so as well. As much as people like to whine about it, Dawn of War is canon and the Blood Ravens are an official chapter. At the beginning of the novelization, a single squad of Tactical Marines with standard loadout defeated a Carnifex. For those unaware of what a Carnifex is within the 40K universe, think of it as the Tyranid's solution to armoured vehicles, in that it's about twice the size as one and eats them! To make matters even more amazing, the Carnifex had a bio-plasma cannon loadout, which effectively meant one shot, one kill for any Space Marine unlucky enough to get hit. So how narrowly did the Space Marines escape? Just about six to seven Marines were done in by the beast and that was after trudging through a day's jog through dense jungle terrain infested with Tyranid (in which two other Marines died). All in all, it's pretty much canon that a Tactical Squad can take a small invasion force of Tyranid. Just syaing...
#3. The Arch-Arsonist would like to have a word with you about Tyranids being the best xenos around. The Orks have been waging a continuous war against the Tyranid that has been in a stale mate for centuries over one planet. This is a single WAAAGH! versus an entire hive fleet. Put into perspective, the Tyranid only have two and a half functional hive fleets in the Milky Way right now, and one of them is occupied by the Orks entirely. That's on top of all the other WAAAGH! currently ransacking the galaxy, doing bat-shit crazy things like Gazghkull Thraka using the ground forces of his WAAAGH! (armoured division and foot troops) to take down an Imperial Titan. Yes, with only using tanks and a crap load of expendable shock troops, a Warboss felled an Imperial Titan!
Furthermore you have the C'tan marching their forces of undeath within the universe. The Imperium doesn't even know how the exoskeletons of the Necron even work, much less how to permanently destroy them. If it wasn't for the fact that the Necron are really only concerned with keeping the territories they have until they can repower their units, the Imperium would be in much deeper waters than they are now.
All in all, Tyranid are chump change compared to some of the other threats within the universe at this point, mostly because humanity has figured out ways to kill them. Now, if more hive fleets were to show up, maybe they'd be a higher threat priority.

As for the question? I'd go with Master Chief. While I do prefer Duke as a character, he's no Spartan. Plain and simple, Master Chief would be far more effective at his job, considering you can only pick that one person. Duke has the Earth Defense forces stopping waves upon waves of aliens from being able to foucs their efforts solely on him, while most large assaults are led by Master Chief himself so he takes a good brunt of the Covenant forces himself.
Sorry Duke, maybe next time!
I meant fanboys that bash games for not being Halo and see the Chief as the best charcther in videogame history, Halo is fun to play but doesnt apeal to me its not crap but its no masterpieceFrozen Donkey Wheel2 said:
Even though I'm a halo fanboy i vote Duke Nukem! Why? Because he has balls of steel, also bubblegum.
I say MC, not because i'm a Halo fanboy, which I'm not. But I'm picking him for the reason that he is much more professional, more experienced etc. and has a shielded suit of armour. Sure Dukes awesome but when the situation arises I'd rather have The Chief saving my ass, because...well he's better.
duke nukem definitely has the style and personality down, but if i really wanted to depend on someone it'd probably be MC.
...is no one else bothered by the misspelling of "Chief" and the "of" typo in the title here? No? Never mind then.
OT:
I've got balls of steel. Balls of steel. Steel. Steel. Steel. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE3KdcTgrno#t=1m10s]
Balls balls balls balls balls balls balls balls balls... balls of steel. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE3KdcTgrno#t=2m31s]
The man who can break a woman's mind simply by stating what his testes are made of over and over gets my vote.
