User blog comment:So-Pro Warrior/Special Secret Battle of Season 1! Part 2! Vladimir Makarov vs. Raul Menendez/@comment-3361508-20130223210131

Inner Circle VS Cordis Die: Cordis Die. Many parts of Cordis Die are ex-Cuban militants. IMO, that's better than crazy Ultranationalists.

Assault Rifles: M8A1. 32 rounds VS 30 rounds. Accuracy VS Reliability. I'd take a 4 burst weapon that's easy to fire as opposed to the AK.

Snipers: DSR-50. .50 BMG rounds > 10 round magazine.

SMG: PP90. 3 burst 32 round VS Fully auto 36 round... mehhhh probably the second one.

LMG: RPD. Contradicting what I said with the ARs, Power > Accuracy. When the HAMR slows down, the RPD keeps firing. ( 7.62mm /)^3^(\ )

Makarov VS Menendez: Makarov. While Menendez is a great strategist, Makarov is a great soldier.

Close Range: Five-Seven. 16 rounds with the ability to be used at longer distances as opposed to 5 28 gauge shells at close range. BTW, I saw Makarov use the Desert Eagle more than the 5-7.

Mid Range: Striker. Semi-Auto > Pump-action

Long Range: M4A1. The M4 system has actually been modified to be a DMR in some cases, whereas the Skorpion is designed to dominate close-mid range.

X-factors: Menendez. His psychological health seems to be ranked too low. Albeit, it shouldn't be high either. But considering all he's done, planting a Celerium worm, making sure Salazar wasn't compromised, rigging a dead soldier with explosives, destroying the American drones and crippling their militairy, he's much better than Makarov will ever be.

OVERALL WINNER: Barely, JUST BARELY.... Makarov is the winner. Better weaponry and better training, and having half of a militairy. (His half is the crazy Ultranationalists that want ol' communist Russia back, the other half want to keep it how it is.)
