User blog comment:Geomax/Space Marines vs Forerunner Soldiers/@comment-1683193-20120620160045

My Vote:

Close Range: FForerunners for the Scattershots greater range and power.

Mid Range:Tie. While The Bolter is more powerful, the Weapon can form a combine beam.

Long Range:Light Rifle for its greater rate of fire.

X-Factors:Space Marines. While the Forerunners have better armor, the Marines augmentation would give them an edge.

Overall edge:Forerunner soldiers,as the have the advantage in most areas.
