Lol, remember when John almost died Hand to Hand with an Elite on Gamma Station? One elite matches a Spartan II in the books if you ask me.
That would have been because according to the original versions of TFoR the Elites had not been encountered in the war yet, and that particular information is now horribly outdated, retconned, and useless as evidence for anything, imo.
And frankly the books do a horrible job with the Covenant anyway.
The fight he had with the shipmaster in First Strike still stands though.
Yes, but that's a Shipmaster though, they're kinda their own whole class of Elites, and the only real difficulty with that fight was the energy sword, at least that's how I read it.
I think the Spartans are a little better than the Elites, but not all that much better. It's like with the ODSTs, they're better than all the other average marines in the UNSC, but not by much, that's kinda how I see the comparison between Spartans and Elites.
