I gotta give it to Hale. To start, a big factor (I'm not positive it works this way I haven't played Resistence much. Forgive me if this completely untrue bull-shit.) Hale really just needs to get a lock on Shepard with that laser thing, then all of his shit will just go right to him. Cover won't be a factor for Shepard, which will be a big problem for him. Hale's healing abilities will provide a minor factor. It will make it a lot easier to continue fighting if he gets shot in the arm or something. It won't kill him for sure if he gets shot in the chest or stomach, although he'll be a much eaiser target for Shepard. X-factors won't be much of a factor. The X-factors are extremely close, Shepard may take 3 of them and be tied in one, but they are so close it won't be a huge factor. Honestly, Hale has gone up against more human opponents as well as human opponents which can help quite a bit. He's also packing the range advantage on his weapons.
