Did I start a trend when I made my entry into a story? Just curious.

Gah! My cable modem died. Was really looking forward to sending in my story for this contest.

G'luck to all the folks.

Marcus Fenix walked up to the bar, his armor crackling as charred, leftover bits of Locust flesh ripped at its hinges. It was only a hundred feet away now, but each lumbering step felt like a journey unto itself. He hadn't seen a bar, let alone any semblance of a commercial establishment, since the area was desecrated years ago, burned down. Yet, oddly enough, here it was. And Marcus was thirsty.

The door was heavy, much heavier than it appeared, but didn't feel armored or barricaded. Yet a faint glow glowed inside, and there were slight sounds emanating from somewhere beyond the door. Someone must be back there, surviving... somehow.

Not one to take chances, Fenix slammed his plated trunk of a leg into the door, Lancer lit up like a demented Kwanzaa log. Opening fire blindly, he didn't want to wait to find out who was waiting for him inside, even if it was Maulana Karenga himself. A dirty smirk grew across Marcus' face, his eyes burning and ready for any foe, Locust or otherwise. The room was instantly riddled with what seemed like millions of shells, reload after active, perfect reload. Nothing could have survived.

Well, almost nothing.

From behind a pile of splinters, all that was was left of a table, a shadowy figure rose. Power and anger glowed in his glowing eyes. Eyes so intense they could only belong to two men: either Marcus Fenix or Nathan Hale. But since Marcus Fenix was the one revving up his Lancer's chainsaw, it was probably Hale, by process of elimination. Nathan squinted, chuckled once, kicked the table over, then barked at his aggressor, as loudly as human vocal chords are capable of screaming.

"My word, chap! It appears you've made yourself quite welcome." Hale's fingers gripped a sinister teacup as tightly as could be expected without shattering its marvelous porcelain.

"Give me one fuckin' reason I shouldn't blow your ass so far up your digestive track you'll be barfing up your intestines!" Marcus roared back. He marched towards Hale, chainsaw bayonet spinning at an RPM so high it violated Laws of Special Relativity. The two titans now stood only eight meters apart, lengthwise.

Hale propped himself on one leg, his cuff links glowing with a sinister, ungodly glow. "Now, come along then. Wouldn't you be so kind as to decelerate your toy? If I do say, you might harm someone."

Marcus hesitated, for the first time in his life. Hell, he didn't even hesitate the first time he popped a zit in 7th grade... with a chainsaw bayonet. But Nathan's foppish, garish, quintessentially gentlemanly demeanor was completely disarming. Not in the "ripping the forelimbs off a locust" meaning of "disarming," but in the more nerdy, textbook meaning. The definition Marcus would expect a man like Hale would utilize.

Fenix revved down the Lancer, glancing briefly at it to ensure he had enough ammunition for the kill, if necessary. "What is this place? It looks like a cross between a saloon and a Renaissance ballroom. Well, at least you do."

"Aren't we judgmental? I'm not the chap bursting down other chaps' doors, chap." Nathan Hale burst into laughter, yet controlled his still-full teacup so expertly, he dropped nary an ounce. "But enough with the pleasantries. I'm Nathan Hale. How does one call you?"

"Depends. 'Marcus Fenix' if they want to live. You still didn't answer my question. How is it that you've holed up here for eight fucking months while the rest of the area's been torn open like a 12-year old newlywed?" Fenix seethed.

His raging top-hat glowing with hatred, Hale exhaled slowly. He examined his brutish opponent, sipped his Celestial Seasonings Oriental Orange Spice tea, and exhaled again. "How did I survive?" He laughed an evil laugh, "Simple, chap... I didn't"

Marcus placed his finger on the trigger, unsure if that was a joke or a threat. 95% of the time, he responded to both with a good ol' head-shotting. But Marcus Fenix hesitated for the second time in his life.

It would be the last time he hesitated in his life. Because he was about to get dead.

Nathan Hale lunged over his stacked-splinter table with inhuman strength. Demonic, alien noises spouted from his mouth at a volume so obscene as to be unfathomable. His body contorted at painful angles, Nathan's half-human form was now apparent. It wasn't a top-hat after all. It was some kind of sinister alien life form clinging to Hale's shredded remnant of a head.

Marcus Fenix had about three seconds of conscious life.

In the first, he reached for his Lancer in futility.

In the second, he felt the warm river of his own blood flow to every area under his armor.

In the third, and final, second, Marcus Fenix lost the ability to process thought other than "pain" as his mind shut down and he involuntarily soiled himself.

Zombie Nathan Hale chewed mercilessly on the COG's corpse. Just after removing Fenix's barely-beating heart, the cannibal ex-hero hesitated at a sound in the corner.

It was the first and last time Nathan Hale ever hesitated.

A crowbar split Hale's torso in two, and a second swipe bashed in Hale's headcrab-infested skull.

"Merry Christmas ya filthy animal," a valiant Gordon Freeman declared, punting the headcrab. "And a happy New Year!"

The moral of the story?

When it comes to heroes who fight massive waves of alien monsters:

Gordon Freeman BEATS Zombie Nathan Hale BEATS Marcus Fenix BEATS Nathan Hale

yo get this right, marcus is all like "listen baby we dont need all this tension" adn throws down his gun. And he all like "come on mahn it aint like that". Than nathan goes in for a man hug. and they are kissin a lil bit gettin a tad bit nasty. Than marcus is like "turn around baby i got a surprise for you", nathan pulls down his pants and starts jerkin off thinkin hes about to get fucked, than marcus pulls out his dick, but little did nathan know marcus had his dick replaced with a FUCKING CHAINSAW. and hes all reving it up gonna bro sex nathan when he looks down and notices that nathan has guns in his butt. marcus rolls away than roadie runs up to nathans butt and sticks a grenade in his butt. it blows up but little did marcus know that nathans butt is like fucking indestructable cause he used to ride a horse with a dildo attached to the saddle. so hes all like uh uh uh wagging his finger. and they gfight for a while than that dom comes over and actually fucks him cause you know hes got marcuses back and also he has acid jizz.

i believe due to misinformation, both guys take a dive in round 4, millions cry foul and they both find themselves washed up has beens working the stove at a denny's.

Simple answer. Marcus Fenix. You don’t even need to look at their stats in their own game worlds; it’s a matter of the system they are on.

Marcus will have like a 10 minute head jump on Nathan because he’ll be too busy waiting for his mandatory install to finish. Marcus can chat with his buddies via Xbox LIVE no matter what game or video they may be watching and ask them to join the fight while Nathan is restricted to in-game buddies because Sony won’t add chat to the in-game XMB. Last but not least, even if Nathan survives those first 10 minutes (which he wouldn’t), he will be fighting at a locked 30fps rate while (according to our man, Cliffy B) Marcus will be moving “consistently above 30fps. Best technology and speed wins any war!

Greatest thing of all, Marcus unlocks an achievement after pwning Nathan (a warrior hath no need for a stinking trophy!)

One day Marcus was on his way home from work when, out of the blue, Nathan came along and jacked his car. Marcus, standing in the middle of the street, walked into the weapon shop at the end of the corner and purchased a Lancer. He stepped out of the shop and took his locator out of his pocket. Marcus loaded the tracking device information and found that his car had been parked over at the mall. He called for a taxi and went to the mall to get his car.

When Marcus got to the mall Nathan was walking towards the car. Their eyes locked onto each other and it was on. The battle started with a few witty remarks and then combat began. Marcus quickly took cover behind a car and did some blind shooting. Nathan, on the other hand, started an offensive that lead him to taking some shots from Marcus.

After hearing the grunts of pain and the sound of a falling body Marcus knew what had happened. He jumped over the car and kept Nathan within his cross-hairs waiting for the unexpected. Nathan, laying there on the ground in pain asked him "Why are you such a prick?" Marcus answered him with the sound of a chainsaw and a wicked grin.

Prologue:
Marcus put Nathan's body parts into the trunk of his car and drove home.

Nathan Hale would win because Marcus and all of the other Gear goons are going to be stuck holding on to their headsets during a level load period. FTW and Cliff Blezinski(or however you spell it)

Now if you want to talk consoles....I am currently on my 4th Xbox 360 (1st was bought, 2nd and 3rd were refurbished from Mircosoft, and the 4th was to replace the 3rd) and I am on my 1st PS 3, which has never given me any problems. To be fair I have had Xbox about a year and a half longer than PS3. Microsoft has the better network and their controller fits better in my huge mits, but the PS3 has great creative games exclusive and plays blu-ray.

To wrap this up, arguing this is like competing in the special olympics...everyone is a winner and we all go home with ribbon.

The real question is if you own a PS 3 or an Xbox 360 and you have a Wii as well, which one of those do you play more of????

Okay, it's a real simple question to answer by just looking at these two. No disrespect to Nathan Hale, I'm sure he's a badass (or was in his day), but he's scrawny compared to Marcus Fenix. It's like asking who would win in a battle between ... hmmmm,... between ...., ok, a battle between any office employee and Terry Tate! - Terry Tate takes 'em out all the time!! We already know Marcus is bad news too. Afterall, we found out in GoW right from the start that he was locked up and left for dead in a run down prison. If his own people had to lock him up, that's a clear sign right there that he's bad news. When Dom popped him out, his reaction wasn't jubilation, it was more "well,.. wtf, ok, whatever." More over, let's consider the multitude of weapons. Now, I haven't actually played Resistance, but from what I understand, most of the weapons in the game are distance-based firing weapons, with the exception of the Sapper mines. It's easier and less stressful to kill a target from a far off distance. GoW has the Lancer - Okay, any guy who's not afraid to run up to some body or some thing and run a chainsaw right in its back, chest, head, leg, what have you - is one hell of a tough SOB!

So in short summary, in a fight between Marcus Fenix and Nathan Hale, Marcus definitely comes out the victor. He's bigger, stronger, has an 'I don't give a [censored]' attitude, and lays into Locusts like my cats lay into locusts - they chew 'em up and much later, spit 'em out. Oh, also, it doesn't hurt having a hard suit and a neck the size of a tree trunk either.

...nathan hal would win hands down...
i mean come on with all the armor that marcus has on he would have to constantly be rolling around to "try and dodge" every shot from whatever gun nathan may be using. nathan hal is a genetic freak!! he is part chimera and human. marcus is just a roided up jock mad because his wife left him and now he spends the remainder of his life pillaging (against roided aliens) under the Unreal engine...id be mad too...
hahahah

im not even saying that to back up sony im merely pointing out the facts...
im a Resistance fan boy not a Gears of War. i have played both games... anywho i heard Gears of War might come to the ps3...where would your loyalty be then MS boys?

Realistically, Marcus wins. He is much bigger than Hale, and he's wearing armor. Nathan Hale has the Chimeran virus which gives him added strength in his "berserk" mode, but I would still say that a Locust is stronger than a Chimera, and Marcus kills Locusts by the dozen. Now the weapons also play a part in this fight. Nathan Hale has more creative weapons, like the Splicer and the Bullseye, which could give him a tactical advantage; but again I go with Marcus on this one because, while Nathan's guns are interesting, most of Marcus' gun turn things into chunky bits. Effective always beats creative, just ask Activision.

In closing, I do give Nathan props for proudly sporting his chrome-dome and not hiding his shame behind a do-rag like Marcus, but Marcus wins the fight.

Marcus wins hands down because of his memoir in the Rendezvous trailer for GoW2....and I quote, "I Have A Rendezvous With Death. At Some Disputed Barricade. It Maybe Should Take My Hand And Lead Me Into His Dark Land And Close My Eyes And Quench My Breath. I Have A Rendezvous With Death. And I To My Pledged Word Am True. I Shall Not Fail That Rendezvous." A guy that devoted to war is going to be an animal on the battlefield. And if you add in the fact that Marcus probably weighs about 290, and carries a Lancer that has a FREAKIN chainsaw attached to the bottom of it, it's easy to see who the winner would be if a bar fight ever did erupt between the two factions. My prediction is this: Nathan Hale gets curb stomped in the first round.....It would be like watching one of the old Tyson fights.....Resistance wouldn't even make it to round two......I think we'll have to get Don King to promote this fight.....80/20 sounds about right......
