Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edginess
 * Melee- Nomad. Chief isn't *that* augmented by the SPARTAN process/armor, and with Nomad's increased speed as well, the Chief doesn't stand a chance in close up combat. Nomad will duck and weave around the Chief with ease, and punch a hole right through his tin can.
 * Short Range- Even. I can't tell the difference between these two weapons. Maybe use links?
 * Mid-Range- Nomad. The FY71 has better range and is more accurate, allowing him to drop the Chief's shields and put a round through his faceplate before the Chief can do more than hit him once or twice with an Assault Rifle spray.
 * Long Range- Master Chief. His Sniper may not reload as fast, but it doesn't need to- one hit from this thing, and Nomad is going to be hurting. Faster reloading on a sniper doesn't really provide as much aid as hitting harder with said sniper, in my opinion.
 * Explosive- Even. Again- the same weapon.
 * Special- Master Chief. The Gauss Rifle is NOT in fact, a flamethrower.
 * X-Factor- Nomad. His armor is much more advanced, more powerful and faster than the Chief's.
 * Deadliest Warrior- Nomad. He may not have a flamethrower, but his better range, speed and strength will tip the edge in his favor in this fight.
