BeastMan14's "F*ck Rico" edges

Sniper Rifle: Not only is the StA a weapon with more ammo per clip and less recoil overall, Echo's history as a Helghast assasin enables her to use her rifle far more effectively than the Rookie can his. Another advantage that I feel is worth mentioning is the fact that the StA is much, much more quite, enabling easier stealth kills that will enable Echo to pick off the ODST's without them noticing. Edge: Echo

Assault Rifle: The MA5C has more ammo per clip, sure, but it also has terrible accuracy and it has very little in the way of stopping power when it comes to well-armored individuals. The StA-55 can put down a Helghast in a few short bursts, and it doesn't rely as much on a spray and pray dependency like the MA5C. Edge: Echo

Pistol: The weapons are pretty evenly matched, though each weapon has one specific advantage, with the SOCOM having a scope, and the StA having slightly superior range. Edge: Even

Knife: Echo's training enables her to use her knife far more effectively than Six does his knife, and add in a heavier blade and a sharper edge, and you've got a win for Echo here. Edge: Echo

Deadliest Warrior: Echo. At the end of the day, Echo's just the superior warrior. She's better trained, smarter, and a much more effective tactician and leader. Add in her better weapons, and her savage loyalty to the Helghast cause, and the Rookie doesn't stand a chance. Score: 600-400
