Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edginess
 * Melee Range- Elites. The energy sword will cut right through the cumbersome, heavy Cleaver and doesn't slow down or hinder the wielder.
 * Close Range- Elites. The Plasma Rifle has better range, larger "clip" and more damage.
 * Mid-Range- Theron. The Hammerburst is much more accurate than the Plasma Repeater, and if I'm not mistaken, seems to have a larger effective range, plus more ammo.
 * Long Range- Even. The Focus Rifle is devestating, but not incredibly uselful in squad battles, espicially litered with cover and isn't as far a ranged weapon. The Longshot is usually a one-hit kill, has much greater range and is morre accurate.
 * Special- Theron. The Torque Bow is going to seriously mess up the target, and is a one hit kill, possibly one-hit multi-kill, depending on how close the target is to their squad. The Needler can't compete.
 * Explosive- Elite. The Plasma Grenade is easier to throw and has much greater throwing distance.
 * Extra- Even. Both weapons are domination in their respective ranges- the Needle Rifle is absolutley devestating in mid-range combat, while the Gnasher tears foes apart easily in close.
 * Deadliest Warrior- The Elites. They take most of the edges and have more advanced tech and military culture.
