In Response To: Re: Who do you think would win? (Nicholai)

: Well they seem more advanced because they have better graphics, they are not
: really that effective, nor advanced, they actually look like the ones from
: our time, but lets compare them: There are no Fusion guns in human arsenal
: on Halo, and the one in Marathon is specially done to short circuit
: electrical systems, so the Zeus class fusion would deal a LOT of damage on
: Chief's armor.

: The magnums from Halo have more ammo capacity but the ones in Marathon have
: sniper scopes attached, of course I'm pretty sure you can attach one to
: those from Halo

V's suit works with the built in scope, or are you talking about halo 2?

: The Marathon's AR is better than Halo's becuase it has a greande launcher
: attached... and if you look at the submachine guns and AR in Halo they are
: too small or unaproppiate to have a greande launcher attached

No question there. But the Mk IV doesn't have any frag or stick grenades like V does

: The Shotgun from Marathon is FAR better from the Halo's one... there's no
: comparison between both

: There are no Flame throwers in human's arsenal in Halo

What about the M7057 Defoliant Projector (Flamethrower) (only in multiplayer)?

: I don't really know of the SPNKR: in both games are good, but in Halo it can
: seek your enemies, while the Marathon's one is supposed to shot guided
: missiles, but the engine doesn't support it from the player's shots. Lets
: says it is a tie.

You must be talking about halo 2

: In Marathon there are no precision rifles, but you have the Flechette which
: is very powerful as well as accurate and you could even kill big shark
: with it from a ship!

Of course halo has the sniper rifle, however it is not fully automatic like the flechette gun.

: I don't really know if there are more human weapons in Halo, but IMO Halo's
: human weapons lack of something, they are nothing really special or
: interesting.... don't misunderstand me, they're cool, and good designed,
: but they lack from imagination.

Then there are the alien weapons which have been captured in the decades of war with the covenant, that includes the plasma pistol (comparable to fusion pistol) plasma rifle (sort of like a flechette rifle), fuel rod launchers, shades, and needelers. The marine in marathon also has some alien-built weapons up his sleeve including the enforcers flame staff, and maybe a pfhor staff (as in marathon : evil) which are fairly powerful weapons too.

: Well Mk IV has Durandal, the Jjaro, and their boxers :P... well actually
: having Durandal in your side is a big big advantage, and Chief has
: Cortana, which IMO couldn't beat Durandal, Leela or even Tycho.

Both AI's are pretty advanced, but you're probably right, Durandal would probably win.
