Yes or no

My reason why its a handicap, the team with 2, if better players, have twice as many people to kill.

His reason is you can double team if its 4 vs 2 to kill the 2.

Which one is a handicap?

It's far easier to kill 1 of 4 people than 1 of 2. That's just basic math!

Depends on the mode and weapons and how well the four man team works together.

If it is a sniper match, 2 vs. 4 has the advantage. Four targets that can't touch them.
Any other weapons though I would give the advantage to the four man team. In other words there are many factors that can come into play.

I agree with this. In some special setting circumstances the 2 man team will have the advantage.

On default settings the 4 man team has the advantage, as long as all the players are of equal skill.

Another thing to figure in is...usually the 4 man team has all of the power weapons. When they kill someone on the 2-man team, there's 4 of them to scramble to raid the corpse. In a game like Ascension, if they get both snipers, look out.

In lamost every case, the 4-man team has the advantage. One exception would be this:

Say there's 2 teams with two very good players on each team. But the second team has two more players who are not good at all. In this case, the first team might clean up because they've got two very easy targets they can keep cleaning up on.
