Not if they can do the same job, wich in that case the ODST win


No, the 7ft giants clad in shielded MJOLNIR armour who are feared by the Covenant would win. I don't see any Covenant cowering at ODSTs, the Spartans have the greatest kill count against all the Covenant in the UNSC.
Not only do the spartans strike fear in their enemies, but they also inspire courage in their allies, much more so than an odst, i love the helljumpers, but quality over quantity, spartans are the better soldiers, like jedi are better than the arc troopers

I never liked the jedis...and that lame stuff of force and all, no way they can take an army of troopers like that but thats not the case...star wars bores me so lets move on. Quality over quantity, yeah totaly right, but when u have great soldiers at great numbers in this case the ODST they would kill the spartans, because they outnumber them and are almost good as them. ODST r not common infantry they have special training, they r the best of the best. They can pull a good fight with the spartans, taking losses of course but they would surely win.

Every ODST that ever lived against every spartan that ever lived = ODST FTW

or even better

Every ODST currently alive vs...well...Master Chief, where is the other spartans? Oh yeah they got killed and some r MIA...(i know they gave their lifes for the good of humankind just like all those anonymous soldiers that a lot of people dont care to think about) = No Halo 4 coming

You can't dismiss a point - correction, a valid point just because you don't like it.

Spartans were made to go on missions of much higher priority than ODSTs, of course they're going to be killed when faced with suicidal odds. Look at Spartan-III Alpha and Beta Company's missions, they were just 12 years old during their respective ops but managed to save humanity by taking the fight to the Covenant and winning.

If you want to pit every ODST vs every Spartan, you'd have over 1000 Spartans. Now considering that a single Spartan was capable of destroying a Halo ring (twice), another was capable of destroying a planet and others have taken out legions of Covenant forces and even Forerunner defences, what cances to ODSTs stand against soldiers trained to kill from the age of 6?

ODSTs don't recieve a great amount of extra training compared to normal Marines, they typically go on missions Spartans could accomplish with a great amount of ease. Look at Halo Legends: The Babysitter, Cal was the one who saved the ODST squad's arses all the way through until the Chieftain came along and whacked her in the head.

Think before you post

Yeah, 'the babysitter' pretty much explains this for me, the odsts are human, they have emotions, doubt and fear which can get in the way of their combat mindset, where as spartans are barely human their so efficient and super lethal, focusing on the mission at hand rather than their emotions, they dont have to worry with such distractions

What do you mean the best of the best? Is that a quote or something? When you said that, i literally thought of spartans

there human just in a heavy armor which is a sign that if they werent in that armor they would get demolished

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

ODST's are great soldiers, but let's face fact. Spartans are and will always be better then ODSTs. John "disabled" three veteran ODSTs, from the 105th, when he just got out of training.

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


Spartans also have to go through the augementation process which not everyone is able to have as they require the right gene which Halsey had a small gene pool of canidates. Spartans would always win even if they didn't wear their armour for example when John went to the gym after the augementation 3 or 4 ODST's were told to jump him and one ended up dead the other had a broken something and the other one had internal bleeding.

But spartans are super soldiers and odsts are just marines that have a history of battle.

  • 01.15.2011 4:15 AM PDT

odst's are my favourite but spartans are just way stronger, the odst's would get THIS IS SPARTAed!!!!!!!

Once a Spartan, Always a Spartan. Reach is, and will always be considered home. Remember Reach, and all who were lost.

Holy crap this thread is old.

Anyways. A Spartan could take out an ODST. Easy. The following quote is the reason why ODSTs and Spartans don't get along.

ODST
"Aboard the UNSC Carrier Atlas, John-117 had a confrontational moment with four ODSTs in the ship's gym. John had removed a pin from the weights at the bench press, and forgot to put it back. The ODSTs walked into the gym and went straight to the bench press. The weights fell and almost crushed one of the soldiers' feet. A fight ensued and John killed three of the ODSTs and severely injured the other. Ever since then, relations between the Spartans and the ODSTs have been tensed and uneasy. However, this does not seem to stop them from working to their utmost efficiency during the Battle of Installation 05 and Battle of Installation 00."


It is also worth mentioning, the Spartans are trained from their childhood years to be cold blooded warriors and killers. ODST are just special forces, really.

not 1 vs 1 but i mean the whole units = all ODST and all Spartans and their roles in the war, wich the spartans contributed way less then the ODST's because they were too few and would be a waste of resources to relocate them, more defenses and attacks were realized by the ODST's, wich is thanks to their numbers, praticality and expecional training

  • 01.16.2011 3:33 PM PDT

Ok I hope people still read this thread anyway when was the last time you ever saw a spartan drop 100 miles out of the sky drop 5 stories run through a city by themselves hijack a phantom and escape. And in Halo Reach the ODSTs help alot on two campaign missions. Lastly, If ODSTs were the main characters and spartans were just the hey there OK guys then would you be answering the same answers??? =)

  • 01.16.2011 7:43 PM PDT

Spartans contributed to the war ona big scale but most of it was black ops that they can never be revealed such as removing insurrectionist leader on the comet/planet before the covenant were known ODST's probably would have died trying to do that and if you did pit all the ODST's against the spartans the spartans would still win as they're used to being outnumbered but not outmatched.

both are ok but spartans are the BEST!

  • 01.19.2011 2:49 PM PDT

all that training, armor, and power dont mean a thing against the right weapon. if it where standard arms then the spartans would win.
