Elgb's '"Overly Miliatary and Muscular Testosterone Fueled Berserking Bone Crusher +1 Girl SQUAD!" 'EDGES!!!

Leader: This is a tough one. Baird obviosly takes the edge in weapons since he's basically a spacae marine outfitted with more advanced weapons than Recker. He's got the better assualt rifle with the larger magazine, faster rate of fire and monstrous chainsaw, as well as the better sidearm (shotgun>puny revolver). The only advantage Recker has is his better grenade but that won't cut it. If things do get dirty, Baird will be able to outshoot, outmuscle, or basically just rip Recker in half (with his chainsaw mind you... although he can probably use the size of his biceps too). Recker however, is the better tactician. Baird never impressed me as a leader. He's a good fighter but his leadership skills are meh. Recker has led his team with grit and pride. He's fought and bled with them in some of the most bloodiest battles even against bigger odds. So it comes down to the leader witht he better weapons agaisnt the leader with the better tactical skills. Hard to decide so I'm given them both the edge. EDGE: Even

Die Hard: Again, Kilo's Squad's superior firearms makes this comparison almsot a stomp. Paduc's sniper rifle, although inferior in maginification to the Pac's 4x ACOG scope, does have the faster rate of fire, bigger damage, and a load of options of usage. He's got the better sidearm too withs its 12 round .50 cal potential (because face it, a tiny 9mm will mosquito bite to a GoW character's armor). In terms of grenades I still have to give this to Paduc. Pac's flare gun can illuminate enemies but the beacon grenade can help spot and track them. It can distract people but only temporarily, and while there are accounts of a flare gun being used as aweapon, the beacon grenade is a grenade, which cans till explode and can either damage or kill someone. EDGE: Kilo Squad

Game Breaker: Again man, tough one. Irish (though he's African-American), has the better automatic rifle with his SAW machine gun. This can be useful when pinning down people or outgunning them with its tremendous rate of fire. But Cole Train has the better pistol and the better grenade launcher tha's semi-automatic and packs more wallop. Good for destroying cover, flushing out enemies, or just plainly blowing them the hell up. In the end, it can go either way. While Irish has the better main weapon, Cole Train still has two superior weapons than him. EDGE: Kilo Squad

Rookie but Hottie: Yeah no contest. Shuyi's P90 will obliterate Hendrik's sawed off shotgun. Nuff said. EDGE: Tombstone Squad

Old Man: Loomis has the better assualt rifle, but Whistler has the better pistol. Having an advantage in pistol is as advantageous is small comapred to having the ebst rifle though. And I'm pretty sure a GoW armor will be able to tank a shot from a 9mm or a .40 S&W. EDGE: Kilo Squad

Deadliest Warrior?

Without a doubt, the big hulking guys from the Gears of War franchise, the Kilo Squad, will prevail. In my own opinion, the only category where they lose at is in Newbies. There are several advantages that the Tombstone Squad has such as experience and training (Special Forces, Chinese Secret Service and CIA are more specialized than a normal grunt Gear training for me).

But in the end, the Kilo's Squad's weapons are jsut too much for these 21st century breakdown soldiers to handle. The Kilo Squad has the better assault rifle, sniper rifle and grenade launcher, which basically dictates that they'll win in a random firefight. The Tombstone squad maybe wearing kevlar, but they're t-shirts compared to the bulky CoG armor. In terms of leadership, both work fine together though the Tombstone Squad seems to have more issues. More advanced weaponry is what gives the Kilo Squad the win here. Its basically pitting futuristic space marines against backward Earth-bound soldiers.

However, if Val Kilmer is in this supposedly "Tombstone" Squad then I'll happily change my vote...
