User blog comment:So-Pro Warrior/Special Secret Battle of Season 1! Part 2! Vladimir Makarov vs. Raul Menendez/@comment-4844014-20130219235939

In the end, I see Makarov winning this battle. Makarov is packing Spetsnaz grade training, physicllity and a mindset to take over half of Europe, which he did. Makarov's physicallity allowed him to endure a helicopter crash and still manage to get up and meant he was easily a suitable combatant to fight Captain Price if necessary, aswell as this, Makarov is packing advanced and developed training from the Spetsnaz, espically in aspects like tactics, weapons and training, etc, these should mean his troops will come to the battle well prepared and will be confident they have a strong leader, meaning they won't back down. Finally, Makarov's mind is by far his most lethal weapon, he was able to develop a plan to sucessfully control a majority of Europe, evade all world secret services which were tracking him including the CIA and MI6 and successfully pull of a devastating attack on a airport and fight off the attacking Russian troops, aswell spark World War 3, Makarov's training and physicllity, mindset and planning skills easily win him this.
