Subject: ODST's Vs Spartans

Who Dares, Wins.
-S.A.S. Motto

It's obvious. A Spartan would destroy a regular human being. There's no competition.

A good thread would be ODSTs/Regular soldiers vs. Grunts/Jackals/Skirmishers/etc.

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.

i would rather have 1 kurt than 1000 odsts

-Ryan a Spartan spec-ops sniper who started as an ODST and will never forget his old marine brothers or his Spartan bros.

Skill wise I think they're equal but in a fight a spartan would win because of the shields and armor. Although I would rather have Buck than 100 Spartans unless 1 of them is Chief or noble team.

New Zealand is pretty much the best place in the world.

can I say ODST's are better becasue odst was my fave halo game?

  • 05.13.2011 3:42 AM PDT

Well to me i think have to be about pure skill on both parts, spartans are strong, fast, and have shields but even ODST have taken care of Elites who just as strong, fast, and powerful as elites. Close quarters i do believe the odst would get slaughtered if they dont have element surprise.

A well trained ODST squad could take out and Spartan/spartans if they work as a team and perhaps element of suprise. But it all comes down on skill basically

Spartan II's snap ODSTs like twigs. Spartan IIIs might have a tougher fight. also depends on numbers, and which SPartans are against the ODSTs and in gunfight or melee.

um considering Master chief beat the pulp outa 3 ODST marines when he was only 14 and didn't have his armor or anything like that it's obvious a fully developed spartan would destroy full squads of ODST marines.

  • 05.17.2011 6:35 PM PDT

I think that's pretty obvious -_- Why you would ask this questions is a little confusing since Spartans have shields, increased health, higher jumping, and better training.

Actually they are genetically enhanced. But to perform those enhancements, the spartans to be must carry a special gene.

Get your facts right.


Get your facts straight. There was absolutely no genetic manipulation in the Spartan-II programs augmentations. Not a single sign of it.

In the Spartan-III program there was some illegal genetic manipulation to their augmentations but that is a different story.

Please read about the augmentations first before posting about them.
Read the books. Just a few of the augmentations:

Ceramic-titanium armor around the bones, making them virtually invincible, an increase in the size of the rods and cones in their eyes so they could practically see at night, something to make their muscles as tough as metal, so they could actually run the Mk. V suits. And I'm pretty sure there's a nervous system enhancement in there, too.

I'm sorry. I raged :D

14 year old john 117 killed some of the best odst in the weight room (sorry i forgot the name of the ship and everything) but he had no armor on at all.... he just flat out beat em to death... i love odst in halo wars but when it come to whos better spartans II's every time

  • 05.20.2011 12:07 AM PDT

Spartans, mearly because I always imagine them doing this in any fight.

  • 05.21.2011 3:58 AM PDT

All throughout history great empires rise and fall. How you ask?
Two reasons:
1. Economic failure because of either inflation or socialistic programs.
2. War. Their armies were spread too thin and too far from home.

The United States has bases all around the world in "hazardous" areas and it's economy collapses it seems every 20 years. Do you really think that history won't change? Do you really think that you can run the world?

Spartans are the ninjas and the samurai, ODSTs are the pirates.

Chief Mendez and Sgt Johnson are the sickest ppl in Halo history!! I'm reading Contact Harvest now and It's awesome. Kurt-051 is the best spartan ever! Ghosts of Onyx for life!!!!!

  • 05.24.2011 1:17 PM PDT

I give more props to ODSTs

  • 05.24.2011 1:19 PM PDT

I am Spartan MG96 .
My favourite member of noble team , Noble 1 (CARTER).
Favourite squad, Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODST).
Favourite weapon ,Designated Marksmen Rifle (M392 DMR)
The Banshee is the best vehicle.
IM LONE WOLF.

On halo wars the odst are like the flood they just never go away. But if you put one squad against one spartan then it is fair but in my opinion spartans rule

  • 05.25.2011 11:20 AM PDT

ODSTs because they are normal humans yet one survived all by himself in a city full of covenant.

  • 05.25.2011 1:29 PM PDT

i am myself

odst look cooler but 1 spartan could easily destroy a squad of odst

  • 05.25.2011 3:44 PM PDT

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...

If death is what you want, then I'll gladly offer you a cup.

ODST FTW! They are just awesome and very skilled for a normal human, doing suicide missions with style and coming out alive (usually), but of course, our spartans friends deserve cookies, because we all know they kick covenant ass.

Our big green style, cannot be defeated!
-Sgt. A.J. Johnson - Halo 2 - Metropolis

Master chief took down lots of them in a training exercise, & he also took down 3 in a boxing ring without his armor.
The book also says Spartans, "can practically see in the dark". No need for special night vision helmets.
The only ups that ODSTs have is that their sex drive isn't lowered.
