Elgb's "PS3 vs PS4 Villains Battle Royale" EDGES!!!

Melee: Well I just can't see a 2x4 being used as a good weapon here. It does have the strength and potential to do damage in the early game, especially with its improvised blade, length and all, but it's flimsy and fragile. And when you use that thing to pound against a freaking riot shield, it's gonna shatter and leave you dead. EDGE: NMM

Sidearm: Both fires the same round but the classic SIG Sauer takes this in a landslide. The Colt Defender is just that... a defender. It's a small ladies gun designed to for civilians as a small and concealable weapon for self defence. It's sexy and all but the SIG was designed to be used in combat, and not only that but it's got the faster rate of fire (due to its faster chambering mechanism), the larger magazine and the longer barrel. EDGE: NMM

Shotgun: The Mossberg is a piece of shit shotgun but even so it's far better than a pathetic sawn-off. Its got more bullets in its tube, longer range, a better and stable sights that isn't modified in any way, and the faster rate of fire and reload time. EDGE: Fireflies

Rifle: I'm gonna have to disagree with some of you below. The Remington ACR is the better rifle than the M16A4.The M16A4 common rpm is just 700. You can squeeze off a 950 rpm only if you use a high capacity Mag 5 (which is not the ones used in the M16A4s in the game). The ACR is the more advanced rifle with its bottom barrel rail and better shoulder resistant stock that reduce recoil and makes firing more accurate than an M16s. As well as the fact that the ACR is full-auto while the M16A4 is semi-auto or 3-round burst. It's a big difference concerning how much lead you can put with both rifles without having to squeeze too much on the trigger (not to mention affecting accurac as well). So the ACR for me is the better rifle. EDGE: NMM

Explosive: I like the nail bomb and all, but its outgunned by the more lethal, accurate, and longer ranged RPG. EDGE: NMM

Special: No contest. Machine guns beat flamethrowers all the time. They're far safer to use, far more accurate, and has the longer range and lethality. Not to mention more humane... EDGE: NMM

X-Factors: The Fireflies definately ahs fought a wider range of enemie from other humans to zombies on a more daily basis. But they are trumped by the training and logistics of the NMM. In the end, the Fireflies are just survivors while the NMM are the real soldiers. EDGE: NMM

Deadliest Warrior?

The New Marais Militias definately takes the win here. They have almost all of the best weapons around, as well as the fact that they are better designed, better eqquipped and better trained in those weapons. The Fireflies definately are a tough group to beat with their all-compassing experience, but still they are just an informal group of survivors against a militia, which in my opinion are the real soldiers in this battle.
