1. Barney Ross:
Barney Ross is the leader of the mercenary group known as the Expendables. His is an expert with several forms of firearms seen throughout both films. His specialization is with his two signature pistols and his modified revolver.
From 1:11-2:06 - This showcases Barney using his modified Colt .45 as he fans the trigger. Barney is able to draw at incredibly fast speeds, shoot incredibly fast, and accurate. This also showcases your character Lee Christmas. Lee Christmas' specialization is with knives. He's very talented, and prefers to use them over guns throughout both films. This is not going to help him in this fight. With a gun, Barney can shoot while laying down or from behind cover. Throwing a knife takes much more control to be accurate and he will need to be standing up to throw at the speed needed to hit any of my team. He also has to get close enough to use them, which is not going to happen with the sharpshooters on my team. Christmas will have a much harder time using knives in this fight, then Barney will with his guns. If Barney and Christmas were to meet in this battle, Barney will have a huge edge. Barney can fire round after round, while Christmas can only throw so many knives before he runs out. If Christmas decides to shoot it out instead, Barney will smoke him easily. Barney is shown to be much more proficient with guns then Christmas.
From 0:05-0:17 - This shows that even if your team somehow closed the gap to get in close quarters (which is not going to happen), Barney is no slouch with a knife either.

1:20-1:31, Barney is driving a car at high speeds, sliding and accurately firing a gun. This shows his ability to fire a gun from any position accurately, and hit VERY fast moving targets even from an incredibly difficult shooting position and environment. It also shows your guy shooting a turret, but since there are no turrets in this match, it doesn't really mean much. He also hits targets that are not very close. As far out if not further then some of your characters have feats shooting from such as Christmas, and John Preston.
0:43-0:45 Barney fans the trigger again and kills 4 people. Each shot was a kill shot from his hip.
From start until 0:56 - Barney takes 2 shots from long range from behind cover. One of the shots he is even talking on the phone when he shoots. His last shot is from VERY long range with his pistol and it's another kill shot.

From 1:34-1:57 Barney is seen making some more kill shots all hiting their targets. He uses both his pistols and assualt rifle here too. His kill with the guy on the stairway is a particularly long shot.
From 2:08-2:13 He makes a few more impressive shots with dual pistols.
I think that is enough for video evidence of why Barney is going to be a huge threat to everyone on your team. There are more scenes of him with close quarter combat, but I don't see the need to post those because your team should never be able to close range on mine. I have too many amazing shooters who have proven themselves to be able to take your team out at longer distances.
2. Smith
Smith is definitely the most inventive character in this battle with his guns. He can also increase his vision and accuracy by eating carrots. If your team was to do the impossible and get through my snipers, this is what they have to look forward to...
2:02-2:43 - Smith is shown on a dead sprint, jumping, sliding, using his gun to alter the environment to suit his needs, and killing accurately the whole time he does this.
3:07-3:17 - Smith shows an incredible accuracy feat.
0:32-2:45 Shows more of Smith doing what he does best. He shoots kill shots while on a dead sprint, in mid air, from all different positions, and all while carrying a baby safely. This also shows him using the environment so his advantage and his creativity on the battlefield.
There are several other scenes that I can pull up, but I don't think I need to. This should be enough to showcase how deadly and inventive Smith is by utilizing his environment.
3. Bobby Lee Swagger
Bobby Lee Swagger is going to be my team leader. There is no one with as much knowledge in small skirmishes as him in this battle. He is also by far the best sniper in this battle besides maybe Jim (I'll get to that later).
Here's Bobby Hitting a can of stew (very small target) from over a mile away.
1:40-2:13 Bobby makes two long range shots I'm guessing 500 yards out at targets moving at a fast pace in a vehicle. Both are head shots.
2:38-3:30 Bobby makes even more shots that are at longer range at more moving vehicles. He then begins to take fire. Notice how none of the enemy can determine his location because of his camouflage. That's what will happen in this battle. There are lots of people out trying to find him, and your team only has 5 sets of eyes. Your team stands no chance moving close to my team because of Bobby Lee Swagger. He will make head shots at extreme distances and you will have no way to stop it. He is able to shoot heads at people in vehicles moving at speeds much higher then your team could ever move. Your team will not know where the shots are coming from either. Even if they did find where he is, no one has the skills to match him in sniping and he will just take your team down one by one.
That's enough to prove that Bobby Lee Swagger could solo your entire team. There is no way for you to close the distance on my team.
4. Inspector "Tequila" Yuen
Inspector "Tequila" Yuen is basically my answer to Max Payne. Anything Max Payne can do, "Tequila" can do better. Watch this tribute to him.
5. Jim "The Waco Kid"
Remember how Bobby Lee Swagger could solo your team...well, Jim can do it faster.
0:37-1:10 - Jim shows his amazing shooting speed and accuracy. This is on Roland Deschain levels. He was able to shoot 7 guns out of 7 people's hands in less then a second without hitting anything but their guns. Go back and watch the timer to check, it's less then a second. When they show him again, his hands are so fast that his guns are already holstered. One more thing, he's drunk while he does this.
0:57-1:13 In this scene, dynamite was set to blow up a fake town and take out the people in the town. The charges didn't work so Jim has to snipe each explosive with his gun from what looks like around 500 yards. That's around the same range as Bobby Lee Swagger in the second video I posted of him. Jim hits all of his targets without missing. I have two snipers who can take you out from a distance further then anything you have.
My Strategy
My strategy is simple. I'm hiding all of my team from the start. The only way you will ever get to me is by advancing. You have no firepower that can match the distance of my team. Bobby and Jim can snipe all day and they don't miss. Bobby will direct my team in the opener to set up defensive positions against your advance. He has the best knowledge of this out of everyone in this battle, and will put everyone where they need to be to win.
After my team is hunkered down. Barney will be the leader for Yuen and Smith. He will direct those two as needed to keep Jim and Bobby informed on any of your teams movements. I don't plan on needing Barney, Yuen, or Smith to have to fire a single shot. I only need them to call out your advances to my two snipers in Jim and Bobby. If you somehow did the impossible and one of your characters advanced through one of my first sniper shots (unlikely) they will still have to get through Bobby, Yuen and Smith.
Your Claims Debunked
Gordon Freeman has the HEV suit which gives him greater than average physique increasement (allowing him to run faster,hit faster,ect) current suit is a Mark V model which is even more durable than other previous versions, (More on the HEV suit in this link) the Hev suit covers Gordon neck to toe and has allowed him to fight against combine forces for three entire games with minor breaks in between it has allowed him to survive lacerations from alien Antlions to Overwatch SMG bullets.
- Gordon may have enhanced abilities from a suit, but he is by far the weakest character on your team. He has had no combat training, he was a theoretical physicist before he was forced into battle. Also, there are no feats you can claim from Gordon. All of Gordon's actions are completely controlled by a person playing the game. Even the cut-scenes allow the player to be in control. How can we judge any of his feats, if every time the game is played, they can be different. I can go pop Half-life in and play and use those feats, but I'm terrible at first person shooters so Gordon would be dead in seconds. I'm not sure what you expect him to do in this. Also, Gordon has nothing to combat my range. The only way for him to come into range to fight my team is to cross a wide open bridge, there is no way he will make it across a wide open bridge with Bobby swagger and Jim scoring a headshot. Gordon's suit can only be on the level of Kevlar per the tournament rules, so my sniper rounds from Bobby will pierce through it. I'm counting on headshots anyways though.
Captain Price and Lee Christmas also wear Kevlar vests and armor so Smith's hand guns technique won't be as effective as they are in the movies (John Preston can easily predict the direction of the bullets and get out of the way, Max Payne can slow mo his way to cover, Gordon can tank with out worry as long as he doesn't get in the shot which shouldn't be a problem since he's fought with out a helmet for three games)
- Captain Price has body armor, but he still has to cross a bridge to get into fighting range of my team since you gave him no guns that will give him enough range. He isn't getting by without a head shot, plus his suit can only be on the level of Kevlar so Bobby's rounds can pierce through it. I'm counting on headshots anyways though.
- Lee Christmas specializes in knives. He is way out of his league in this fight. If this was a close quarter fight, he would be a huge threat, but he has nothing to show for ranged feats. He's not making it across a bridge. See above about his armor too.
- Max Payne can slow down time, but he is not allowed to move any faster then the speed the time is moving, if he did, that would break the speed rules for this fight. Speed can't be faster then Nightwing. There is no way he is crossing the bridge to get to my team. He can only slow down time for so long before he runs out of focus or whatever it is called in that game. There is not much room to dodge on a bridge either.
- Gordon can't tank, see above.
While it's true my team is fighting against already battle hardened opponents my team has already gone through those odds, Gordon Freeman has fought and killed waves of elite Over Watch combine forces and (previously spec op guys in the first Half Life) by himself sometimes with absolutely no aid from outside forces.
- You admit my team is battle hardened. Each one has years of experience being soldiers, cops, special forces, mercenaries, snipers, and cowboys.
- Gordon Freeman's feats are impossible to judge because they are all based on his player. Show me something otherwise or I don't buy it.
Jim The Waco Kid will be at a disadvantage in fighting anyone in my team, while he's a very good shot so is everybody in my team if he misses most of them can risk getting shot due to their armor or speed reaction while Jim can't risk getting shot he also lacks the discipline or training to take out any of the expert Marksman
- Jim is IMHO the most deadly person in this battle besides maybe Bobby Lee Swagger. He is deadly at close or long ranges, and shoots faster and more accurately then anyone else in this battle.
He is the ace of spades in this battle he is almost a god in gun battles, his technique in Gun Kata is so good that he's avoided automatic gunfire in a pitch black room and killed everybody in it with ease.
John Preston with these feats will be able to easily beat four out of the five enemy team members even all at once!
Nobody in the other team has fought anybody with John Preston's battle style they would be taken completely off guard and surprised, Jim alone is practically cannon fodder as he has only a revolver while everybody in my team has semi-auto's and fully auto's.
John Preston has fought numerical superior enemies at close ranges and avoided their bullets with amazing ease!
- John Preston is admittedly the coolest person in this battle if not the entire tournament. I never saw that movie or even heard of it before this battle but I watched it because of it. Thanks for showing me it! While he is very impressive, he is not suited for this fight.
- John Preston has no range feats. All of his shooting is done at close quarters.
- He does a lot of acrobatics to dodge attacks. He is not going to be able to pull those off against my team. Watch the people he fights in your clip. They all stand and watch him shoot him with their rifles on their hips. It's probably PIS, but my team is not going to do that. They don't hesitate to shoot quickly.
- He is not going to be able to cross the bridge to get in range to fight my team. There are no feats that show him capable of dodging sniper fire from someone like Bobby Lee Swagger. All of his feats are from fighting people at close range where he can see where their guns are aiming and act accordingly. He won't be able to see a sniper rifle at long range. In fact, none of your team will be able to see Bobby at all because of his camouflaged Ghillie suit. Unless you can find feats of your team detecting someone at long range who is completely camouflaged, you have no answer to Bobby. Even after Bobby starts shooting, you can't tell the direction a gun shot came in at from long range unless you have a character like Daredevil with a sonar sense.
With Lee Christmas knowing that he's going up against his partner any thing he himself or Barney could think of would counter each other as they know each other soo well, if it came to a showdown between these to Lee Christmas is most likely to win due to being younger and fighting more often in h2h than Barney who's older.
- I don't know how Lee can counter Barney. Barney will not let Lee come into his range. Barney has feats that show him capable of killing at range, where Lee does most of his fighting up close and personal. Barney is better with firearms out of the two.
Last Thoughts on this Comment
The battlefield heavily favors my team. If we would have ended up with a fight that gave an opportunity for close quarter combat, your team could have won, but this location puts your team at a severe disadvantage that I don't see how you can overcome. With my snipers and battlefield leadership and knowledge, I think this should be an easy fight for me. I just have to sit and wait for you to advance on me because you have no weapons with the range needed to ever take a shot.
