Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edginess
 * Close Range- Big Daddies. The Cleaver is absolutley worthless against the Big Daddies, and the while the flail could do some damage, it would be put down by a shotgun before it could get close, not to mention the devestating charge/drill combo that will tear through the Boomers without itssue.
 * Mid-Range- Boomers. The Scorcher is a flamethrower. The Big Daddies do not, in fact, have a flamethrower.
 * Long Range- Even. The Ion Laser is a pinpoint deadly weapon with no recoil to speak of, but the Big Daddies are no long-ranged fighters. Even though the laser can tear the Boomers apart at much better distances than the Mulcher can fight back, they will want to close the gap, and when they do the heavy turret will tear them to shreds without trouble.
 * Special- Big Daddies. The Big Daddy launcher can fire heat seekers, proximity mines and is much faster than the single-shot Boomshot.
 * Armor- Big Daddies. The Big Daddy armor is covers the entire body, and the person within no longer exists, making damage dealing all the more difficult. Boomer armor, on the other hand, hardly covers the wearer and will thus leave the Boomers more vulnerable. I don't think the addition of the Shield will do too much to slow down the Big Daddies either.
 * Deadliest Warrior- the Big Daddies. They are smarter, better equipt, better armored, and most importantly- they have a more vital reason to fight. The Little Sisters and their protection is all the Big Daddy exists for, and when a threat is near, their rage and refusal to stop until she is safe will give them a drive the Locust Horde could never hope to match.
