Subject: ODST's Vs Spartans

"Always two there are, a master and an apprentice"

This isn't even something to ask or poll since the automatic answer is "Spartan" due to the fact they are the best fighters the UNSC has, they are the most expensive to train, augament, and get/make armor for.

The cost of a Spartan was said to be more expensive then a ship like the POA or atleast as expensive and thats for one person.

All the info of how much better the Spartans are then ODST is fact provided by the books, namely "The Fall of Reach", "First Strike", and "Ghosts of Onix".

Spartan 2's were not expendable, ODST and Spartan 3's were since they were cheaper made and given SPI armor more then not.

Spartan 1's VS ODST would be a more balanced or fair fight but not Spartan 2's or 3's as an ODST has not chance against them.

Fun fact: Spartan II's were created to fight the Insurrectionists not the Covanant. They wanted to end the war as quick as possible so that the UNSC did not have more people leaving like Col. Watts.

Fun Fact: John-117 AKA Master Chief was NOT the best spartan 2, he was lucky and the leader, other then that he was average and highly skilled but not the best at something.
Linda was the best Sniper
Kelly the fastest runner
Samuel was considered the strongest
Fred the best with a knife and could have been leader but did not like the attention.
Kurt had the best instinct and senses in that he could "feel traps", could pick up on things and know when something was wrong.

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.


You sound like an 8 year old...

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.


Yay ODST FTW!

I say Spartans are better! Why? Because a Spartan can handle waves of enemies that would take an entire platoon of ODST. Plus, if you think back to the enemies that were in Halo: ODST, you'd notice that they are much weaker than the enemies in Halo 3. The Brutes are mostly infantry (on Legendary), captains are rare, and leaders are are extremely rare.

you all are wrong spartans and ODSTs are not the best soldiers
in the whole overview for the humans the sargeants are the best cause they are hilarios in the covenent grunts are the best for the same reason

True, the Sergeants and the Grunts are the comic-relief in Halo, and they do make it a lot more enjoyable, but the purpose of this thread (from my understanding) is to determine which is better, Spartans or ODST. So which do you think is better?

well in the book Halo: The Fall of Reach, John 117 is fighting an ODST in a boxing ring (no pads or anything) and in less than a minute, the ODST is either knocked out or dead. and thats what a spartan can do WITHOUT his armor and weapon. just imagine what he would do with his armor and mabey a weapon.

Til the end of Death

On my Opinion i'd say ODST.
but they both are Epic.

All the facts have been established that Spartans would win against OSDTs otherwise go read Halo:Fall of Reach and First Strike. It should also be noted that Spartans fight at their best on the ground which they would be if they vsed ODSTs so that factor would contribute massively in the Spartan's favour. Cheers

oh yeah...some few spartans against thousands of ODST's...you guys really dont know how much the spartans would be outnumbered, supersoldier or not, they are still mortals and they would likely die.

You forget that if you were to pit all the spartans including the third generation spartans and including all the beta company who perished then they'd have approx 400 spartans with 300 of them ebing spartan 3s

Beta Company, a group of 300 twelve year old Spartan-IIIs, destroyed 7 Covenant Cruisers, killed thousands of infantry and entire squadrons of Seraphs during Operation: TORPEDO.

300 twelve year old augmented soldiers did that, no ODST battalion could even compare to that. Since S-IIIs were inferior to S-IIs, one can only imagine what they'd do.
