Also the physical augmentations. And the teamwork gained from working together since the age of 6.

Ok for me ODST would win because of their skill and no need of augmentation and all that stuff...but spartans are supersoldiers and truth be told they are stronger.

Just let me give this example:
Im an ODST surround by covenant forces, i kill hundreds of them but there is still plenty more and even more coming and then i realize that i was dead for sure but i see a marine coming and i say:

- Get over here and help me with those...

He get shot in the head and i lose my hope but im still alive and i see another ODST and he comes up to me and i say:

-Can you give help me with those noobs?
He says:
-Well we can try ;)

And we put a hell of an fight with those poor covenants forces
but in the end he dies and i go back to my shelter...time passes and i ask to myself "how they can still have ammo?" and after that i see one Spartan coming and he came close to me.
I say:
-Thank God a Spartan!!! Finally! Hey kill those bastards i cant write anymore...

Spartan:
-No problem...

And im safe thaks to that super cheater and overpowered soldier
i was glad to have one at my side, it gives you hope of victory and morale.

rule of thumb: double tap

odst's pwn spartans, they work together, they have better tools for the job, they dont cost as much, and they just feel more powerful

Spartans would win.

ODSTs and Spartans are equally good. They are both soldiers who fight for a good cause.

My only logical explanation as to why a spartan would be better would be because of their genetical enhancements which made them bigger; stronger and gave them more stamina. You have that along with their MJOLNIR powered assault armour and you have a living death threat.

If a Spartan were to go against a squad of ODSTs the ODSTs would suffer heavy casualties sure, but they would win; if they used a bit of tactic and strategy they could easily overwhelm a Spartan III if not a Spartan II

Take this scenario into account (I'll use Halo 3 as an example)

You're playing Halo 3 MP and all of a sudden you are encounterd with an opposing player wielding an SMG (Which is the primary weapon of an ODST), that opposing player could take down your shields within 10-20 (if not less) seconds with sustained fire. Now imagine that x10 from a squad of ODSTs. the spartan would be history.

However if you have a group of Spartans ie: Noble Team vs a squadron of ODSTs; the spartans would win as they could keep up sustained fire on the ODSTs who have no benefit of energy shielding; therefore the Spartans could kill the ODSTs in less time it would take for the ODSTs to kill the Spartans.

Can't we agree to disagree and say that ODSTs are just as good as Spartans and could possibly even be better if they had energy shields?

Think before you post

In the fiction Spartans definitly outrank the odsts, by training, combat experience, tactics and sheer strength.
In a one on one regular battle, the spartan would obviously win, if it was one spartan II against a squad of odsts, the spartan would still win, but a spartan III might not fair so well against them, in that they would be equal
In the games however, the spartan is just barely better than an odst but only because they beefed up the odsts to suit better gameplay

LOL ROFOLCOPTER

Spartans, ODST's cower in fear knowing they will get their asses handed to them by the most badass ninjas of the world

  • 11.16.2010 4:49 PM PDT

well I say spartans could wipe the floor with ODSTs, don't get me wrong ODSTs are epic, but if you take the enchancements away and the armor away from the Spartans and well, you got an ODST.

  • 11.16.2010 4:57 PM PDT

True, you get a better and less expensive soldier who is still badass without any enhacements or fancy armor. ODST FTW!

ODST are DICKS. They are assholish, aggressive, and abrasive to anyone not an ODST. Spartans can work equally good with anyone not a Spartan, and to top it off, they're friendly. That alone is a more admirable quality than some leatherneck jarhead who thinks he's the best.

SPARTANs have better genetics. They also have better training.

ODSTs are probobly the best idea the unsc ever had, you have a helmet, VISR (which is awsome for night ops.) and a slight armour and weapon upgrade from marines. in the end, odsts would win because a spartan costs as much as 1,000 odsts so 1,000 odsts would beat a spartan. so you can eat that, ODSTs are just more practicle and still can beat most covenant species

  • 11.25.2010 3:21 PM PDT

if it ain't dead... shoot it again.

ok you guys have to be kidding me. if you read any of the books you would know that spartans at the age of 14 without the argumentation or armor could easily kill 5 ODST single handily. now when you add in the argumentations, the extra 15+years of training, and armor, the spartan would have no problem taking on at least 15 odst or even more. not to mention the spartan have been taught military tactics their entire life. making it easy for one to take on and kill many. so not only is their armor better, they're bigger, they're stronger, they're faster, they're smarter, and more stealthy. its obvious who is better. an odst is expendable, and is basically a standard marine with a little more training and better armor. SPARTAN WINS HANDS DOWN. i would rather have 3 spartans than 75 odst.

you r right sir but everyone says: bla bla bla master chief killed 2 ODST and hurted the other 2 at age of 14 and bla bla bla....so what? can he kill the other 998? i think not. And that was nothing besides double betrayal...would u put a soldier on the field that could kill his comrades? Again i think not.

ODST FTW!

I prefer ODST's. But I like them both.

Umm, where did you get this 1000 odsts = 1 spartan idea? Make that up yourself?

  • 12.12.2010 5:13 PM PDT

Spartans are trained over a LIFE-TIME. ODSTs are what you said. Without the armor, a spartan would still win. They have faster reflexes and stuff. Master Chief once took on 3 ODSTs in some gym on Reach after they got into an argument. Even though the ODSTs were really just a "training mission", I think 2 of them ended up dead.

I do like ODST but spartans all the -blam!- way!!!

  • 12.21.2010 8:24 PM PDT

ODST, spartans are cool but ODSTs are cheap and well trained like Buck he would be a spartan but they didn't give him implants

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


Actually, you're wrong. Spartans passed bio-augumentations, ODSTs not.

  • 12.26.2010 8:56 AM PDT

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Half the people here are idiots. Spartans would win any day, in the Fall of Reach a teenage John kills two ODSTs in a fist-fight without MJOLNIR to help him.

Spartan-IIs also have augmentations (natural night vision, increased perception, "Spartan time" slow motion when perplexed, near-indestructible bones, and 300% increase in reflexes) on their side, along with a near-life time of training not short of torture under their belts.

Basically, anyone who says an ODST would win is a moron.
