Can someone explain to me..

How (ending spoiler) Master Chief survives a nuke to the face but can’t take more than 10 plasma shots from an elite?

If you mean at the end where everyone gets incinerated by the Composer thing, its because the Librarian (I believe) gives Chief the ability to survive it.

Cortana used herself as a shield remember…

because(and im assuming you mean in the actual end where you hit the nuke) he was on the light bridge that was filled with cortanas. so she would have instantly surrounded him to shield him from the blast.

I’m referring to the very last cutscene, where Master Chief practically detonates a nuke in his hand.

That’s the reasoning I was leaning towards. Just needed some clearance. Thanks!
