WHO...IS....DEADLIEST?

Project Freelancer
"It is an undeniable and may I say fundamental quality of man that when faced with extinction, every alternative is preferable."

- The Director

Bio: Project Freelancer was a Special Operations program created to study soldiers with AI implants in order to win the war with the Covenant. The main mission of Project Freelancer was to ensure the survival of humanity in a hostile galaxy. Each agent was named after a state, with 49 in total (Florida was destroyed prior to the series) The Freelancer program was ended by the UNSC after Agent Maine's AI, Sigma, convinced him to go on a killing rampage so he could take their AI's and equipment and become stronger.

Cerberus
"Judge us not by our methods, but what we seek to accomplish."

- The Illusive Man Bio: Cerberus is a pro-human terrorist organization created shortly after the First Contact War. While they claim to be fighting for a good cause, Cerberus often resorts to killing innocent civilians in the way of their goals. They did, however, support Shepard in a mission against the Collectors, a hostile race of servants to the Reapers, following their "death". After Shepard left, they took a good chunk of loyal Cerberus troops with them, forcing the Illusive Man to oppose Shepard at every corner during the Reaper War, alongside his new assassin, Kai Leng. Cerberus was defeated when the Systems Alliance raided their main base and Kai Leng was killed by Shepard. Its remnants were fully wiped out after the death of the Illusive Man.

Explosive: Frag Grenade, a shrapnel-packed grenade with a 8.45 meter blast radius.

Special: Deployable Turret. Guarded by both shields and armor, a full-auto Cerberus turret is a deadly threat on the battlefield.

X-Factors
Project Freelancer vs Cerberus

85 Brutality 100 Project Freelancer is willing to do what it takes to win, but they won't truly and honestly slaughter people just for a small victory. Most of them kill in self-defense rather than outright. Cerberus, meanwhile, is a terrorist group fully convinced they're fighting for a good cause, and will do anything for the sake of it. 95 Tactics/Teamwork '95 This is an interesting category, as where one faction wins out in one area, it loses in the other. Project Freelancer was a team, they were friends, but not quite family. However, they weren't exactly tactics geniuses, as they never really needed incredibly good tactics against their opponents. Cerberus troops are indoctrinated, forced to work together without any complaints, but they bring in varied tactics that specialize in dealing with run and gun foes like Project Freelancer. 90 Combat Experience 85 This is a close edge. Cerberus as an organization has been active a long time and has done a wide variety of missions, but troops very rarely have long times in service, due to the difficulty and danger of their operations. Freelancers are hired mercenaries and troops deployed by the UNSC against the Insurrection, a fearsome foe that continues to wage war with the UNSC even after the Human-Covenant war. 80 Armor 75 Cerberus armor is unlike the Systems Alliance armor in that it usually doesn't have the shielding/armor mix that benefits greatly in battle, often having either shields/nothing or nothing/armor. Project Freelancer armor is similar to that of Spartans, relying mainly on decent shields, with armor that can stop occasional small-arms underneath. The unshielded armor is weak, but its better than a fancy pile of nothing when shields run out.
