User blog comment:AdvancedRookie/Zakhaev vs Makarov/@comment-1142365-20100106222305

Zakhaev is more "badass", personally executing his enemies as Bord said. Makarov is more bloodthirsty, enough so to launch an attack on his own countrymen and women. However we really didn't see him much, we only saw him in person once. But having said that, you actually play in a mission alongside him, so there for that sole fact I think Makarov is cooler.
