On Buck's halo reach firefight voice, it says, "if he were any better, he'd be a spartan." I think we both know they are comparing the skills of an odst to be NEARLY as good as a spartan... just saying

Why so British?

Well the Spartans where always intended to be superior in every way to an ODST, and given the nature of the Spartan Program (trained since children, etc) I don't see how a ODST could match and in Halo ODST I do think you where overpowered.

Simply put, Master Chief could kick Rookies ass.

when it comes down to individual fighting ability based on the training and augmentation such as having a broken bone not even slow them down the Spartan II's are better but they are pretty much just drones. They were essentially made for combat and thats it they go where they are told and have no choice in the matter. ODST's are all volunteers it takes a hell of a lot of courage to do something like that ODST's are like US Army Rangers and Paratroopers today. Volunteers always deserve the most respect and the ODST's are still great soldiers

I am an orange mist amongst a sea of blue, so my flames may stand out and represent all those who trully believe in this great sacriment of Bungie history, let my story be told as the only legendary still standing even after I fall Just as my comrades did so graciously to fight for the true loyal.
If you have legendary, would you stand by my side and go forth into a sea blue and demise as my brothers fighting for those who are trully loyal to Bungie?

If you have read the books and the comics you'd know that as a 14 yr old john killed 2 ODST's and wounded 3 when they picked a fight with him on a ship after spartan augmentations, this is also without the suit on and hes 14, most ODST are on steroids and all types of stuff.

Spartans anyday any time...

- They start their training young
- They're genetically motified to pwn regular humans because they were first used against rebels
- They can kill countless armies by themselfs
- They can bag whoever they want (exaple A my profile pic).
- They have shields
- They have good weapon skill
- They have better equipment
- They are all around [Blam!]ing awesome
- They are 9 feet tall and way 2000 pounds

I see no problem with Spartans v ODST's

You failed to take into account that Spartans are conscripted at the age of 6. You know why ONI didn't go public about the details of the Spartan program? Because telling people they kidnap children against their will, indoctrinate and torture them into becoming soldiers is generally the kind of thing that builds sympathy.

It is for this reason that the Spartans are more respectable because of the trauma they have to endure. ODSTs can just choose to sign up not knowing what they're getting into, out of blind patriotism or simple xenophobia.

The spartan is better only for their genetical modifications. The cloned spartans have their templates from experienced odsts. The odsts were the basis for the spartan IIs

What the -blam!- is this about? There aren't any cloned Spartans, they replace the stolen children with flash clones that only live about a month, there are no cloned Spartans. -_-

I've always liked ODST's for their personality but I like Spartans more because they shut up look epic and tear stuff up

I disagree while the odst are the top of the non-genetically altered forces they still are elite soldiers. Spartans are meant to be the best of the best through strength and bravery although i do like odst just a bit more.

We are Orbital Drop Kamikazi Troopers, dropping feet first into hell with a grenade in each hand and a charge of C4 strapped to our back, ready to blow the devil to heaven with no thought of comeing back, except for cookies.

i cant believe this thread went on to two pages. just absurd.

and odst is essentially a spartan without the genetic growth horomones, cloning, mjolnir armor, and the training from 6 years old.

odsts are better in the fact they choose to do this and knwo there can be other stuff to do.

spartans had no choice. they were tortured and mutilated throughout thyre childhood in hopes of a few surviving.

in a fist fight, the books clearly stated, when joh FIRST got into his armor, he annihilated 7 ranking odsts. and even without his armor he put 3 in the hospital. so really there is no more comparison its basically a matter of preference.

do you want to be a psychotic marine who jumps feet first into the middle of a battle with no hope of survival, or

do you want to be a navy supersoldier who who jumps feet first into the middle of a battle with no hope of survival, but has special armor and ai in your skull.


you my friend, just found the answer :D

Although the odst's are the elite of the non-enhanced soldiers, the spartans are so tough the are not allowed to be Kia. The odst's are allowed to be Kia because they are not super soldiers. The Spartans are not just better through strength and bravery, but their skill and ruthlessness on the battlefield far surpasses that of the odst. They have superior skill over the odst in every way. The are the leaders of army. The odst are not the best because they are not the main force of the UNSC. The Spartans skills blow the odst out of the water. The odst are strong enough to take down a brute chieftain. But the Spartans can single-handedly take down entire armies by themselves. A single Spartan can do that. A single odst couldn't even take down half. That is my answer.

At the age of fourteen, John underwent the dangerous SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures. These procedures caused 30 of the Spartan trainees to die, and 12 to become physically disabled. John was one of 33 Spartans who made it through the process unscathed, while the rest who could still operate were sent for jobs in the Office of Naval Intelligence. At only fourteen years old, it is said that John had a body of an eighteen-year old Olympic athlete; the augmentation process gave the Spartans faster reflexes, greater strength, enhanced eyesight, and made their bones nearly unbreakable. Following their augmentation procedures, John and the other Spartans were transferred to the Atlas in order to recover in a microgravity environment. During his first visit to the Atlas' gym, John was confronted by four ODSTs, whose sergeant then ordered the five of them into the boxing ring. In the ensuing fight, John killed two of the ODSTs, and left the others severely injured.

For those of you who don't know who "John" is, He's spartan-117

Spartans are killing machines they destroy ODSTs in a fight although ODSTs are cool but a spartan could probably take and ODST down at the age of 8 or 9
