if u have ever read the books the spartans are about like the predators if they do lose.....which is very seldom they tend to take everyone with them for instance kirk witht the nuke took out the entire covenant force around him and not only that spartans have self destructs in there armor so yes ODSTs may eventually overrun spartans but if we all know spartans they will be bringing as many of them with them as possible

Hey guys I am a huge Halo Fan and I am very committed to different Halo areas. Bungie.net is the best! I have this little piece of Halo with me wherever I go. And no, Halo is not actually pie, it just tastes really good.

He may have meant Thom, the origional noble 6. Also read first strike and you will know that spartans do have packs that can be set to self destruct.

Only spartan 2's had it if you read First Strike (I can't remember which spartan), one of the spartans die and the others set her pack to detonate. It destroys everything in I think either a 15 or 50 foot radius.

Kill them all & let god sort them out

Its kind of a no brainer that one spartan can kill at least a good 100 odst troops in a guerilla style fight. Of course if all 100 teamed up on one spartan, the spartan will lose but kill nearly there whole team. Now 100 odst's against 100 spartans, the spartans will eat the odst's bones.

well, 100 x 100, spartans win, but you must remenber that ODST easily outnumber them , it would be like 10000 x 100 or more in the ODST side = ODST FTW

And who mentioned Kurk here?

If you played ODST you would notice that ODST's have shields too so you cant say that and also The ODST training is only ONE step of training before the spartan training. ALL Spartans go through ODST training first before they even start the spartan training


so you could say, ODST's are mini Spartans.

And also...when you play Halo ODST you would notice, you could do everything that Chief could do in halo.

And not even that, ODST's armor looks WAY cooler :P

The Spartan would walk away from the ODST whilst getting shot in the back with an SMG. Do a back flip, bicycle kick the ODST into the air and then head shot it with its trusty spartan laser.



Spartan fan boy :P

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


What are you high? The MAIN separating agent between SPARTANs and other people is their BIOLOGICAL enhancements. Such as bones augmented by ceramic material, decreased time of neural oscillation etc

Nah. it's "Stamina"

Yea sure a Spartan could take out a ODST but dont forget that Spartans dont go out in groups ODST's do, the Spartan could take out maybe two or three ODST's before the Spartan gets killed.


And dont go and say "oh well (MC) Killed 3 without his armor" because thats not a valid argument that was MC he was kinda the main guy of the games and books he had to be the best, he had to stand out.

Normal spartan would die from an Trained ODST

there is no arguing with that.

Yea I know but when you played the Rookie he took just as much damage as MC in the halo games

oh my freaking GAWD! This is still going. How bout this another reason spartans would win if it was an all out battle is that they have faster reaction times and better accuracy hence they can annihilate ODST's. Each time an ODST would have to reload it would cost them as they would probably be dead by that time and each spartan has special features about them as they're all unique in some way such as Kelly being the fastest spartan etc.
Also Spartans are well versed in history so they would know many tactics they can employ in the battlefield and their ability to communicate quickly would also be an advantage over the ODSTs. It's the reason spartans are the stuff of legend after all as they can accomplish more than anyone else and why everything they do is impossible as they're used to facing uneven odds in everyway.

No they don't.
A) It's stamina.
B) It's only for gameplay purposes.

and also The ODST training is only ONE step of training before the spartan training. ALL Spartans go through ODST training first before they even start the spartan training

Biggest load of bollocks I've ever heard in this thread. Spartans do Spartan training from age 6 onwards, go read Fall of Reach and Ghosts of Onyx, ODSTs are not trained to the point where it's boarderline torture.


so you could say, ODST's are mini Spartans.

No, you couldn't.

And also...when you play Halo ODST you would notice, you could do everything that Chief could do in halo.

A) Again, gameplay reasons, not canon. -_-
B) Dual wield? Use equipment? I don't think so...

And not even that, ODST's armor looks WAY cooler :P

That obviously makes them better soldiers.

Look i'm not crazy about halo talking like "OH YH, WELL IT ACTUALLY TOOK PLACE IN THE ZARLOG GALAXY" or something...
Though if you want my opinion they have there ups and downs.
Spartans are of course for high tech, better trained, etc.
But on the other hand ODSTs have better looking armor, and they actually have a sense of humor, I mean you never hear MC cracking a joke now do ya? I guess technically yes, a Spartan would win against a ODST. But, we would like the ODST better 'cause he/she would be more human, more like us, and have better lookin' armor.

Friends before pixels.

ODST.

The most combat operational Spartan's at one time with full MJOLNIR armor is about 36.

At any time there are tens, even hundreds of thousands of ODST's. They have almost half of the training of Spartans and they have almost half the combat experience of them. Also, the ODST's are expendable.

Bottom line:
ODST's>Spartans.
