THE DOCTOR'S DIAGNOSIS OF DEATH AND CARNAAAAAAAAAAGE!


 * Melee-The Arbiter. The Chainsaw Bayonet wil be nifty in the fight conisdering it's an attachment, but the Energy Sword has a much longer reach, and can slice through objects and creatures at a much faster and deadlier rate...being an ENERGY sword and all.


 * Short-The Arbiter. The Plasma Pistol is by far a superior weapon. No need for a reload, It's got more range, and fires a deadlier projectile being plasma.


 * Mid-Marcus Fenix. The Mk 2 Lancer Assault Rifle has a higher rate of fire than the Plasma Rifle, and is much more accurate. It may way much more than the Plasma Rifle and fires less deadlier projectile bullets, but it makes up for that with it's edges in Accuracy, Range, and Magazine Size. The Plasma Rifle may be chargable to land deadly shots, but they are arguably slower than bullets and the weapon overheats rather easily.


 * Long-Tie. Both these weapons have they're obvious edges. For one, the Carbine has a much better rate of fire, being Semi-Automatic compared to the Longshot's Bolt Action operation. The Longshot, however, brings in Accuracy and Range to the table, having very high stats in those categories. The Carbine will give away the possesion of the Arbiter rather easy in the fight, when fired, emits a light green trail of gas. If The Arbiter goes all out with the weapon and wastes good potential by trying to pick off Marcus, it could leave him dead.


 *  Explosive'-The Arbiter'. The Bolo Grenade is much more heavy and clumbersome, the Plasma Grenade is dangerous to the user also. But it beats a heavy and crappy bolo grenade anyday.


 * Armor-The Arbiter. The very well-titled "Arbiter Armor" is far more advanced and light-weight compared to the clunky COG armor.


 *  X-Factors-Tie. All of the x-factors will matter greatly in the fight, and despite the Arbiter's edges in Experience and Training, Marcus still has good numbers in both of those and then some.

'DIAGNOSIS: THE ARBITER''. '''This is a close fight, no doubt, but the Arbiter's edges in Short, Melee, and especially Armor will matter a lot in the fight. Not to mention his Experience and Training. Out of 1,000 battles...

Marcus wins 430 battles

Arbiter wins 570 battles
