Go Rams and Missouri!

So a soldier type vs two organizations?

I think a better topic would be the UNSC vs SAS vs USMC

People Die..But Spartans Live Forever!

In all reality..the ODST's. My main question is..why is this a comparison to CoD: Modern Warfare in disguise? I mean you added SAS..why? We as the USA have our own special forces, IE Delta, Navy Seals and ect. so SAS is not needed. And again you added USMC..why? USMC is very normal, they are just normal soldiers like the army, so no comparison there...so i would say ODST's because in fact they would demolish the SAS and USMC...sorry man but thats how the cookie crumbles..

In terms of fire power and training and all relevant war abilities..then yes they are..the ODST's on the other hand are far superior..the only different between the Army and the Marine Corps..is the Navy gives all the lil marines a ride...BTW before you go off saying i dont know what i am talking about...because in fact i do...

Like i said..check my background first bro before you say that..because i have done 2 tours in iraq, i have a purple heart, and i served 5 years in the US ARMY- Infantry..and btw i dont play CoD..i play Halo....now the marines are not always the first forces deployed. I bet i know more about the marines than you do and i was in the army..i celebrated the Marines birthday while i was Iraq in 2006..btw i am not here to argue about which is better ..the marines or the army, because in fact they both serve their own purpose but we all are there for the same thing..to win wars. But we can do this all day..

ODSTs would probably win. However, that is probably only due to their armor, which would probably be able to easily deflect 9mm and 5.56mm NATO bullets, which are basically what the USMC and SAS have in the bulk of their small arms. However, put them in a modern day uniform, and the SAS would most likely kick their ass. Marines, however, aren't too big of a step up from normal soldiers, so the outcome of them fighting with ODSTs in modern uniform is debatable. Of course, my predictions leave out air support. In that case, MAC blast > everything else

The weapons ODSTs have are oftentimes chambered in calibers simply impractical against lightly armored or unarmored humans, while MP5s and AR-15 variants excel at that role. SAS operatives are among the best in the world. Their tactics are probably better than ODSTs. As previously mentioned, ODST armor is the only way they would win a fight against the worlds' best special forces.

My apologies rollingspartan. I didn't realize you've served in the military. You probably do know more about the Marine Corps than I do. Again, sorry for being a douche, and thanks for your service.


No offense taken..i was just trying to let you know a lil bit more about myself, and my personal views and experience, and thank you. Now i was just asking the OP why he was comparing Halo and CoD:MW without actually comparing them by name...just doesnt make sense..

I Just want to say that each one of those armies play their part in the world and each army is great i know ODST is fictional and its great that UK and US have such a shared past that enable them to overcome any foe weve thought the world togather america has helped britain countless times through world wars and even now they help each other and i think its great that soldiers are fighting for what they believe in trying to make a better future so i salute all those who fight for a good cause, i Was saying ODST or lets say UNSC for a seconed is every country and colonised planets in the world and galaxy is most likely a future army and ODST are those special forces like SAS and USMC joined togather, the stealth of the SAS and power of the USMC joined togather to make ODST for a better future.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

SAS and USMC don't use parachutes.

  • 07.20.2009 4:14 PM PDT

why are you looking at this?

ODST's because they are from the future and have futuristic weapons meant to kill people who are from the future, because future = better in every way compared to the past (strength, intelligence, agility, etc.)

edit: plus, ODST's come from all countries and various planets, USMC and SAS only come from Britain and the US

and it doesnt show, USMC > ODST

This is true. Are we really going to be using bullets 500 years from now? Seriously?


Well, we used bullets 500 years ago. However, both the weapons and the bullets themselves were less advanced. So, it is theoretically possible that 500 years from now, we will still be using weapons that work with similar principles as today's weapons, but more refined. Just like how it is in Halo. Specifically, the books. The automatic weapons are ridiculously inaccurate when actually firing them ingame.

Remember, discovering something that could be a weapon and weaponizing it are two different things. When the laser was first invented, I'm pretty sure a scientist didn't pick up the prototype and vaporize a lab rat with it. Lasers are still ineffective weapons. Only recently they have been put in the military arsenal as a MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM. It will be a while before a handheld laser will be able to kill anyone, let alone penetrate several feet of metal almost instantly.

Of course, that power isn't necessary today. When will we see Halo-like weapons? Right after we see Halo-like armor.

Would you dance for it?

Even thought they are from the future, the UNSC Marines really suck...

Their vehicles offer VERY limited armor and their weapons don't seem espcially useful (The BR might as well be a nerf gun at anything over 150 yards).

Also their air vehicles seem ill equiped for real combat. (A single US Gunship could flatten the whole lot of them).

  • 07.20.2009 4:29 PM PDT

Do I have to say it................ ODSTs would win easy and plus with the gauss warthogs the armor!!!! Do the other 2 have it? NO!!!! problem solved...

but think of this, in halo they are fighting a race that is about 3 times more advanced in technology than they are, so of coarse our weapons would be weak against them, but if they use them on the the humans that we are right now it would have a much more lethal effect.
