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.
