User blog comment:BeastMan14/Season 3 Premiere: Cerberus vs Project Freelancer/@comment-5795750-20130604231240

BG1's "Suit up Gentlemen!" Edges:

Melee: I can understand why you gave the Freelancers three weapons and Cerberus two - the Cerberus melee weapons are technologically sophisticated and the Freelancers are more skilled with their melee weapons. It is because of the latter point, as I have seen Freelancer time and time again fight with their fists and legs quite well, and the fact (as stated by Noob) that the Shock Baton is not lethal that gives the Freelancers the edge.

EDGE: Project Freelancer

Short: Project Freelancer's pistol holds 12 pistols, Cerberus's holds four but since the latter is semi-automatic, that allows for some degree of greater accuracy. However, that accuracy does not compensate for the lack of ammo and unknown range the Cerberus pistol has.

EDGE: Project Freelancer

Medium: The two main assault rifles that the Freelancers bring, like the short-range weapons, more ammo in their rounds than the Cerberus rifles. 'Nuff said.

EDGE: Project Freelancer

Long: Now this is tricky considering that the Anti-Materiel rifle has a short ammo clip but it has a more devastating kill (it is an Anti-Materiel rifle after all). Now I would like to agree with GSFB and say that the Raptor is designed as a true sniper rifle but I would like to also point out that there have been times where an anti-materiel rifle was also used as an anti-personnel rifle quite well (e.g. The Expendables 2, Rambo, etc).

EDGE: Even

Explosives: Put simply, the grenade the Freelancers bring in is more deadly with a bigger blast radius and more technologically sophisticated. Sure the Cerberus grenade has shrapnel but all its gonna do is bounce off the Freelancer armour.

EDGE: Project Freelancer

Special: The MAC Targetting Beacon, when placed correctly, can cause widespread damage and it can wipe the floor with Cerberus. However if the Freelancers use it and the MAC misses its target (unlikely but possible), then it'll be quite a while before the Freelancers can rely on the Beacon again. However, what wins this for Project Freelancer is their Armor Enhancements which are pretty powerful and very very useful. The turret is good as a defense weapon and can provide good shielding but it can eventually be disabled.

EDGE: Project Freelancer

X-Factors: 87.5 average for the Freelancers; 88.75 for Cerberus

EDGE: Cerberus

Overall Winner: Project Freelancer takes this by far - they back more devastating weapons, they are very very skilled in what they do, they have lots of experience dealing with armoured foes as tough as them, armour enhancements are certainly a boost to their fighting capabilities, and most importantly, they have the better armour.

PS Why did you give Project Freelancers more weapons than Cerberus or was that all you can find?
