-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

charged plasma pistol EMP effect + other powerful weapons anyone??? I can't believe grey101 or anyone else never thought of this.
according to canon (contact harvest when that grunt deacon dadap EMP'd tartarus' shields and temporarily disabled it), a plasma pistol EMP blast can disable his shields.
If Noble six used this, he could win. However, if Bungie made it this easy in game for the player in H2 then the arbiter could have finished off tartarus in 5 seconds and the deaths of all those elites would have been completely uneccessary. This is why we can't use the EMP effect on tartarus in H2 gameplay but for canon, my above method still stands.
Contact Harvest is set years before Halo 2, for all we know his shields could have been upgraded, but you're probably right about that one.
But, how do we know that Taratus is unable to dodge the plasma bolt? Just because NPCs can't doesn't mean the actual characters can't.
tartarus wore the same armour that maccaebus (the previous chieftain of the brutes) wore after killing him. We know maccaebus' shields could take 10 or 30 (cannot remember which) battle rifles firing sustained bursts at him all at once. This seems to be shield strenght of the same extremity that we encounter in the H2 battle which supports my point that tartarus' armour is the same set that maccaebus wore.
Also, Noble six can fire as many charged plasma bolts as he wants. Knowing a massive ape like tartarus, who makes a big target, he could not dodge them all. and then? here come the powerful weapons, leading to an easy defeat of tartarus.
Why would Noble Six have a Plasma Pistol?
Why not just let Tartarus do the same then to Six and just shoot him?
