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

the spartans at the battle of Thermopylae had ground advantege where enemy numbers didnt matter...when they lost that advantage they died, sure they killed a lot but without ground superiority they would be killed sooner. First those persians were comon infantry units...nothing special, just grunts, so they could be easily killed by superior units like those spartans. And this is no "medieval" combat is modern combat, that has a lot of different combat strategies.
What does that matter? 300 Spartans killed thousands of Persians, comman infantry units or not that is an unprecedented massacre.
Oh, and it is mentioned many times in the books that young Spartans learned about acient history battles. Believe it or not, those archaic tactics are still being employed and adapted for use today.
ODST r the best of the best with superior training and they could easily outnumber the spartans and u know how easily a spartans shields can be depleted by just one assault rifle clip now multiply that by 6 and the spartans is dead for sure...
lolno
A Spartan's energy shields are susceptible to plasma rounds, conventional bullets do little to no harm against them - gameplay =/= canon. Your "logic" seems to rely on the Spartans just standing still and taking every shot fired at them...
6 spartans x 6 ODST the sparatns would win...but ODST numbers r far more superior so it would be like 6 spartans against thousand of ODST's...just imagine...no way the spartans could beat even with all the augmentations and fancy armor.
Duh, you're arguing the obvious here and it's not doing any credit for your argument. 6 Spartans against several thousand ODSTs is a no-brainer...
yeah...every1 know that jonh beat down 2 ODST and hurt the other 2...but they were not prepared, they were taken by surprise, would u expect a teenager to do that? Of course not, and with those augmentations and rage inside jonh he destroyed the desmoralised ODST in hand to hand combat, if they knew what they would be facing, they could be better prepared.
No, those ODSTs were starting a fight with him, of course they'd have expected him to fight back. And you're just supporting my argument by saying an obvious advantage comes from the augmentations, slice it how you like, S-IIs are superior to ODSTs.
Since you're content to argue to the contrary, please explain to me why the UNSC didn't start funding to train their soldiers better to be like ODSTs instead of spending it all on a few dozen S-IIs that cost the equivalent of an entire battlegroup. The logical answer? S-IIs are better.
