Smooooooth.

Spartans are much better than ODST's
Spartans cost alot more money to produce
ODST's were just a cheaper option to kick Blam!.

A excess of firepower can be used to solve any social, economic, or military situation. Also, Wraiths rule!

Ooh, an oppotunity to diss Halo Reach!

Lets have an imaginary conversation between an OSDT and a SPArtan

Spartan: You suck. I can do anything better than you.

ODST: Actually, you cant.

Spartan: I can punch tanks!

ODST: Actually, I can do that too.

Spartan: Oh. Well, I have shields.

ODST: I have a game machanic that does the same thing.

SPartan: Dammit! Well, I dont need medpacs.

ODST: In Halo Reach you do.

Spartan: You win.

ODST's are trained just as well as Spartans. However, ODST's do not need all the armor. They can take it better than Spartans can. However, this means Spartans will win only because of their full metal plated armor.

Spartans are obviously the victors. Let's take a look at this here;

Spartans:
- Genetically superior to alot of the soldiers (however, definately not all of them, as there were only 75 because funding would not allow to search for more of the same genetics)
- Trained from 6 years old. War is their wya of life, it is all they know. they have many more years training than marines and odst's, perhaps not a spartan 1 like johnson though.
- They are physically enhanced by steroids and hormonal injections to increase overall size and density of their muscles, creating far stronger humans, and likely far larger. --Bone ceramic ossification means their bones are almost unbreakable, i still dont get how they got all of their bones to be this way, but its what it is, and their skeletal structure is much much stronger and can take more punishment.
- They also had something done to their eyes, giving them virtually night vision, and also their nervous system was affected creating reflexes that were numerous times more quicker than average humans.


ODST's:
- Hardened soldiers of war, they have experience. Yet, not a lifetime's worth.
- Their strength relies solely on their gene pool, and often that is not good enough to put them up there with spartans.
- No enhancements. They could be at peak physical condition, makign them closer to spartans, but never the same. Its not possible due to the spartans increased muscle density.



As many people ahve already said, john killed 2 odst's and severly injured another 2 odst's in a training excercise. Even if these ODST's were caught off guard by thinking its just a child, they likely did their best to no avail.

This thread is pointless, it is more than obvious.

Like I told my last wife, I said "Honey, I never drive faster than I can see and besides...it's all in the reflexes."

If a Spartan wanted to, it really could rip limbs off an ODST. They are genetically enhanced.


Where to begin...lets see.

For starters they are not genetically enhanced. They are selected for a spesific genetic marker.



Wrong. They are enhanced. Go read the novels, or find a synopsis online. If you think the Spartan II's aren't enhanced, then you haven't been paying any attention while playing the Halo games.

Well the ODST will definitely out number the Spartans, but it really depends on what type of Spartans we are talking about. If we are talking about Spartan One or Two's then most likely they will be more powerful then the ODST, but If we are talking about Spartan three's then I will give it a maybe to the ODST.

But still.
Spartans > ODST's.
Spartans have WAY more combat training, WAY better equipment, Shields, Higher stamina, more melee power. Everything is better on them, thats why they're advanced infantry...


ODSTs are regular Marine infantry that request to be put into the ODST training program. They already have actual combat experience under their belts before they even begin their ODST training.

Honestly they have about the same amount of training. Spartans are no more skilled than an ODST. The armor they wear however gives them a huge advantage over an ODST. With out the armor they are no better soldiers than the rest of humanity.

But to prevent hard feelings about my opinion I give you this: Link


In Halo: Fall of Reach a 14 year-old John-117 takes on and kills 2 ODST's and wounds 2 others coming into the wieght room he was in and started mocking him and making fun of him. One hit him and the Chief(as a kid) killed all of them even when he was out numbered and without any weapon or armor. Now what do you think about who has the most training??

Hey i know the ODST will win wanna know why

Spartan 117 aka Master Chief is the LAST spartan alive in the campaign so basically the question would be who wins spartan or odst not spartans.

odst troops are usually in groups a 4 right so odst win if it 4 on 1

1 on 1 i completely change my answer Master Chief will destroy the odst

A good way to test this theory would be to pit one ODST Squad against one Spartan on Halo Wars. This is a losing battle for the ODST's as one Spartan can take on about four or five squads and win.

you do realise johnsons a spartan-I right?

Rule #1 of Halo...Don't let Colby get the sniper rifle.

Okay, so this thread has been going on for a while Spartans Vs ODSTs, ODSTs are badass and Spartans and tanks. There is one clear answer to which is better.....Spartans IIIs. They combined the good qualities of both spartans and ODSTs. If you doubt me then simply read Ghosts Of Onyx.

*_OODALOOP IT _*

Look at it this way: Blue Team(John's Squad) and The ODSTs from Halo 3: ODST are both dropped into a Jungle. Now keep in mind that both teams have only been dropped with normal training Clothes, a combat knife and standard Magnums, From Halo: CE. Now before the Spartans got their armor, they had to go through a Reble city and eliminate a specific Target. They only had civilian clothes, and They Made it through with John only getting a tiny bit wounded. So that means they had to be super stealthy. These Squads are poorly equiped and on equal grounds. Straight from the begining you know that the Spartans are gonna win with less casualties. The Spartans Are Stronger, Faster, more Stealthy, Smarter, and equally equiped with the ODSTs. Over all Spartans Are the Better Soldiers. Both Types of units are an advantage to the UNSC but also good Soldiers. Some of you are right ODSTs could win. its not impossible, but highly unlikly. Now a group of ODSTs with Rockets vs. Unarmed Spartans would probalbly win. Agree or have a comment, send me a message.

In strength: Spartans
In appearance: ODST's

ODST's look so bad ass in black!

Hey, its Zachary here, coming at you live from V.A, and I'm awesome at Halo, MNC, and WaW.

Read Halo First Strike. It tells about a simulation where John-117 finishes a course packed with over 75 ODST's. The had Automatic weapons, frags, and armor. John was only 10 at the time, (SPARTANS began there training at age 6) and he used no armor or weapons. Just his bare hands. And it was just him. Versus 75 ODST's. I think SPARTANS would win against ODST's.

  • 08.02.2010 6:47 PM PDT

Think before you post

Ohh, this guy just made an excellent point, best of both worlds, the power of spartans with the availability of ODST's, why argue when a perfect solution presents itself? Spartan III's.

  • 08.02.2010 7:30 PM PDT

>.<

ODST are the best. Best equipment, guns, strategies, and just awesome. Spartans are wanna-be ODST.

  • 08.05.2010 7:56 PM PDT

welcome to good burger, home of the good burger, can i take ya order?

Ok, look. Imagine Master Chief. Now take away his Mjolnir armor and enhancements, and the blue AI. that would basically be an ODST with as much experience as Gunnery Sgt. Buck, who is a 25 year veteran of the Human-Covenant War. It doesnt matter what the books or games say. Imagine real life situations. it would take a single explosion to kill a Spartan. a single hit from a Brute could decapitate a spartan i would say. Master Chief is considered to be bad @$$ because guess what? he doesnt have an AI controlling him. he has a HUMAN at the controls, and humans can/should be able to reason, think, and form plans to do things. everything you see in games is supposed to make MC look better than the marines because he is the protagonist, and a spartan. I mean look, if i was an ODST, i would give myself a good chance of killing a spartan because i can think logically, reason, and form plans. Spartans are recruited at age 6. thats like, a year or two of formal education. So spartans are trained and educated at the same time. which could explain the long training period. nobody can be taught to reason or think, it must be built by the individual. at age 6, do you think master chief knew how to do a 10th of what he was trained to do? no one does, i would say. but ODSTs survive on skill alone. I mean, a single spike can kill an ODST. and in Halo Legends, 3 shots from a needler took out a Spartan. just saying, its a tie in my book.
