I don't think Delta would be stupid enough to go into a fight against a soldier of his caliber without the proper equipment. =\
They charged into the Locust stronghold without helms or arm armor (for Cole I believe, Dom as well though he had more then cole)

12 year old John could take down special forces soldiers. 40 year old John with MJOLNIR Mark VI armor and augmentations would utterly stomp them.
Also, 5MJ shields FTW.
Took them out because they had no idea what the hell they were dealing with, and he had no idea of his own abilities.
And in this case, Delta has no idea what they are dealing with, they have less training than special forces(As far as I know), and Master Chief has a VERY good idea about his own abilities.
I don't even think Delta will be able to take down Master Chief's shields. Just a reminder, game mechanics are NOT canon. In the books he has shown a 5MJ shield strength. Examples would be shrugging off some 50mm rounds(Thou shalt not screw with 50mm rounds), shrugging off 30mm rounds, armor staying almost perfectly intact after a terminal velocity impact, ect. To put this in perspective, 5MJ shields could withstand over 100 14.5mmX114mm sniper rifle rounds or over well over 1,000 7.62mm rounds. This is far more than Delta can bring to the table, MC could literally just stand and get shot for over a minute an be fine, which doesn't take into account that MC will be on the move, taking cover, returning fire, or smashing them in H2H.
Um, source for those numbers?
TFoR.
The biggest question is, do we go with game Chief or fluff Chief?
