Elgb's "The Other Group Got Killed by a Teenage Girl While the Other Got Killed By A Grown Up Nerd... I Can't Say Which One Is Dumber.." EDGES!!!

Melee: Both looked intense. The shock baton is longer and is collapsable, but the stun baton is bigger and heavier. Since both are electrified, in blunt weapons size always matters. EDGE: Combine

Pistol: No match. The USP curbstomps the Vector with its larger magazine. I do respect its compactness but the Vector is nothing more than a lady's gun than standard-issue military USP. EDGE: Combine

Mid: Here we go again with the debates between the P90 and the MP7. Both are great guns really, but in terms of specifics the P90 is just overall better. The MP7 may have the foregrip, the compactness and the rate of fire. But the P90 fires the bigger bullet and has the larger magazine of the two. It also doesn't help that in terms of ergonomics and muzzle velocity, you can count the P90 as the more reliable weapon. EDGE: Peacekeeper

Long: No contest the Pulse rifle wins. It's a fucking pulse rifle. it fires a more pwoerful kinethic projectile than your standard powder-fired F2000. The pulse rifle has the faster rate of fire, the ability to automatically reload through a more advanced computer system, a fucking scope, and a fucking dark energy launcher. This is a curbstomp over 9000. EDGE: Combine

Special: I don't see the flamethrower being much help here. The peacekeepers use those not for combat but for demolishing property. The Manhack is more useful, providing reconaiscance and firepwoer in the mix. It's also a good distraction without having to get someone in your team killed. EDGE: Combine

Deadliest Warrior?

I trust El Alamein's judgement in x-factors more than myself so I don't need to put my own. But in the end, I gotta give this to the Combined. Yeah the peacekeepers where better trained, but they use that training more against poor ill-equipped civilians, AND even in that they still get their asses kicked. The Combined definately fought in more engagements and are fresh and more battle-hardened. They've successfuly fought a lifetime's worth of resistance against rebels and even Vortigaunts. And they also have to fight against headcrabs and other monsters as well. Count in their better and more advanced weapons and resources, then the Peacekeeps won't have a chance.
