HECU Marines vs The Combine(Results)

I've been gone for a bit due to a move from Al to GA and it took a while to get the Net up and running. But that's all behind me now. I hope. Anyhoo, back to business.

Situation #1 Winner: HECU Marines. The way I see it, Adrian Shephard is on par with Gordon Freeman. And The HECU Marines are even better than the rebs from half life 2. So if, so far, the actual characters from half life are the Victors against the Combine, then I see the Marines takin' the Victory here.

Situation #2 Winner: Same as Sit #1. Adding the Black Ops just makes it easier for the marines and Shephard.

If there is anything I missed or you just plain disagree, post a comment to let me know or send me an e-mail at michaelmstreet@ymail.com

Until next time.

HECU Marines vs The Combine

HECU Marines: http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Hazardous_Environment_Combat_Unit

Combine: http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Combine

Situation #1: The Hazardous Environment Combat Unit has regrouped with Cpl. Adrian Shephard(http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Adrian_Shephard) as their leader. They have all the tech available to them from half life 1. Vehicles, weapons, armor, etc. They have rebelled against the Combine. Can they succeed? Also, this is before Freeman or anything that happened in Half Life 2. Aside from the Combine takeover.

Situation #2: Same as situation 1 except that the Black Ops(http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Ops) have allied themselves with the HECU Marines. The Black-Ops also have all their tech available to them.

Now for my personal opinion. I loooved the HECU Marines in Half Life. I think that they are some of the best and most entertaining enemies ever seen in a video game. That said, I've never been able to take Combine infantry very seriously. However, with all the tech available to both sides, this will be a close match. It's up to you guys to convince me of the winner.

Edit: Remember, this is a war scenario. Not a lone battle scenario. There is a difference.

Edit: Hey guys, I need some comments. I can't decide this thing on my own.
