Sniper: This is going to be an even match when comparing these two snipers in this match as both are effective for different reasons. Echo is packing a sniper that provides more ammo, but at the trade off of weaker power making it more difficult to pierce the ODST's armor. The Rookie on the other hand may have a small mag, but packs a much more powerful round that basically guarentees a kill. EDGE: Even

AR: The MA5C manages to grasp it's edge in this here battle between these two rifles as they are basically pretty close in many aspects. Sure two extra rounds is an advantage, but even then that's a slight edge. What really makes them get this edge is the man behind the gun and the ODST are a SF group allowing them to use it to greater effectiveness. EDGE: The Rookie

Pistol: This is an easy edge for The Rookie as his pistol far outranks Echo's much weaker pistol. It has a silencer allowing The Rookie and his group to attack from areas and make it harder for them to detect. A good fire rate, stronger round, and the scope which allows for more accuracy from far away. MAJOR EDGE: THE ROOKIE

Knives: UNSC knife is longer allowing the hits to cut or get in deeper causing more painful wounds. The FSK knife is thicker and heavier, so this pretty much evens things out between these weapons. EDGE: Even

Deadliest Warrior: The Rookie- Overall I have no doubt in my mind that The Rookie and his fellow ODST are going to win here. Him and his men are more prepared, better trained, know the area better, to win this fight. Echo is an intelligence agent while The Rookie is a ODST a special forces unit which is more adapted for combat. He's fought tougher enemies than his opponent plus one factor that really helps is his armor. His ODST armor is stronger and his VISR system allows him and others to spot through their enemies' stealth nulifying that edge. Plus as S119 pointed out that red hood is a recongizable target which can get her spotted and killed.
