Sprtans are way better.
but y in odst you can carry 3 grenades and you walk faster with turrets?
they also seem stronger, on legendary u can get hit by a beam rifle and not die (unlike halo 3)

When Marines can't do it, and there ain't no Spartan to save the day... Only the ODST's are up for the job.

You know what?

In the end of this discussion, we know that Spartans can beat up ODSTS. But why are aruguing? It's a stupid topic because unless the Spartans or the ODSTS were AWOL, there is no reason for them to fight.

Personally I like ODSTS, but I'm fan of Sparatans too. Spartans can the battle and the war, but I just think that ODSTS put more the line than Spartans ever do. Except for Chief, that Spartan deserves a break.

Also I'm just saying this to anyone who replies. Don't fight in a stupid war between this silly topic. it's these topics that start stupid flame wars. ODSTS awesome? Good for you. Spartans are better? Good for you! Let's all stay on our sides of the territory.

RookieRules out of here!

Have faith in me

Well. I'm taking this from the games.

ODST-
Cant jump from up high without getting hurt- Not that good in the missions.
Deep Ground Surveillance or Long Range Reconnaissance- Small groups, watch the enemy.
Direct Action- Takes no time waiting for the enemy to come to them, they charge.
Unconventional Warfare- Great traning.
Counter-Terrorism Operations- Respond to enemy threats.
Counter-Contraband Operations- Recapture stolen items.
Personnel and Special Equipment Recovery/Capture- Medical treatment.
HUD, INTEL

via http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Orbital_Drop_Shock_Trooper

Spartans-
Super soldiers
Not much armor abilties- HUD, INTEL
Light armor
Jump from tall heights
Little missions, not as big as ODST's

ODST's get more missions that involve more secrecy than a Spartan's. A Spartan's job is to destroy the enemy more than intruding enemy infantry.

I believe ODST's are better though, better armor, stronger armor, don't fight as much as a Spartan, and sneaks into enemy base. They get a cool but interesting job. Its not too dangerous, if they do they're job carefully.

What is this bollocks? I'm getting pretty sick of this thread and the constant idiocy that surrounds it.

A mission that takes 1000 ODSTs to complete would take about 3 Spartans. ODSTs are in no way better than Spartans, John killed several ODSTs at the age of 14 without any MJOLNIR armour, just his fists.

Spartans-IIs are children chosen because they have superior genes to every other human. As a result of their augmentation, they have near-indestructible bones, they can naturally see in the dark, they have superhuman reflexes (300% faster than a normal human), the catalytic thyroid implant produces a significant amount of muscle mass... Must I really go?

This is like comparing Spongebob to Superman, it's moronic. There is absolutely nothing outstanding about ODSTs. They are not taken from home at the age of 6, they are not indoctrinated into the military for years, they are not tortured every day during gruelling military exercises, they do not recieve biological augmentations, nor do they serve on as many missions as individual Spartans do (TFOR states that John had served in over 300 military campaigns and had been awarded every medal except POW).

ODSTs most certainly do not have "better" or "stronger" armour. MJOLNIR is superior even to the armour the Elites wear.

How many ODSTs destroyed 2 Halos, High Charity and the Ark? There are several ODST bodies on High Charity during the mission Cortana, why weren't they capable of destroying the station if they're superior to Spartans?

On Jericho VII, it took only 4 Spartans to slaughter a thousand Grunts and Elites.

There is absolutely no evidence of an ODST outwitting a Spartan, yet there is plenty of the opposite.

Spartans due to them having advanced armor and being much more effective in Combat due to all the things they been injected with and taught.

The enemy diversion you're ignoring is their main attack.

Finally someone else who is actually being objective about this. Thank you Vaulting Frog. Me and my girlfriend get so POed at my friends at school because they refuse to listen to someone say anything negative about spartans.

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...


Yes Spartans are the best. that's why they lose.

kool theres 666coments weird.

  • 09.12.2011 12:31 PM PDT

Spartans cost way too much money to create, thats why theyre arent to many of them, but they are way stronger than ODSTs. ODSTs are weaker than spartans but are great in numbers. I like both of them. So cut the bull**** about ODSTs pwning spartans.

  • 09.13.2011 6:03 PM PDT

This topic is sort of stupid anyway.

ODST: Cooler
Spartan: Better

  • 09.13.2011 6:16 PM PDT

Yes......... In a matter of speaking.........

  • 09.14.2011 1:18 PM PDT

Spartans r much more better

compare them with their role in their team not their race or gender.


Carter vs. Dare: in all honesty i would pick Dare because Carter has mental problems due to the death of Thom. http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Thom-293

Jun vs. Romeo: Romeo. Romeo took a the axe side of a gravity hammer to the chest and still lived through, while we do not know what happened to Jun, Romeo has shown us that a ODST can survive as much "damage" as a spartan


Kat vs. Dutch: Kat, her robotic arm is an agumantationthat did not hamper her combat efficteviness. so if Dutch lost an arm he sould be put out of duty. So Kat wins due to service time.

Jorge vs. Buck: Both troopers focus on assault but jorge takes the win in this one. his increased firepower combined with his over all strength puts him on top.

Emile vs. Mickey: While Mickey has proved himself over and over again during the campaign, Emile has shown he provides a better sense of security with his presence on the battle field. When Emile shows up you guaranteed to have some enemies drop with out you having to pull the trigger.

Noble Six vs. The Rookie: This is a hard decision but The Rookie will win this. Noble Six may be a spartan but he has never been able to prove him self a good warrior due to the presence of a team member. The Rookie spend %95 of his campaign by himself fighting off waves of covenenet.

so i know i compared the ODST's to only noble team but this is what i think. they are even. they may have advantages due to wat situation they are in but you cannot just rely on JOHN-117's killing of the ODST's on the weight room that was only one incident. you must think of the over all fight. which would win in battle. so continue your biased opinions i will keep mine.

“Life’s a -blam!-, God forbid the -blam!- divorce me.”

Spartans aren't just better because of their armour. They have augmentations which make their bones almost indestructible, they are taller than ODSTs, faster than ODSTs and stronger than ODSTs. Their armour makes enhances the Spartans abilities so they are tougher and have AI assistance etc.

Spartans would win hands down, they look cooler, are better and can kill anything and everything.

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
