Spartans don't drop feet first into hell, knowing that drop could be their last.

If you played Halo 2, you would know that Spartans do drop "feet first into hell." If you read the graphical novels or Halo: First Strike you would also know that Spartan-IIs don't even need a dropod.

Spartan IIs are trained from the age of 6, augmented, and given the most advanced armor ever made. Who do you think is better?

Also, remember when MC fought four ODSTs as a child? He killed two of them and put the other two in the hospital. He was 14 and armorless.

i only say spartans because of the fact that it would take many odsts to take down 1 spartan...

My response from the other ODST vs Spartans thread

Spartans are superior to ODST's in every way but numbers, but I'll still take an ODST over a spartan any day. Hell, I'll take a normal marine over a Spartan. The whole perfect super soldier story has gotten stale after 10 years.

The one thing that ODSTs have (besides their humanity) that Spartans don't, is style.

I currently am working on Halo Wars achievements. 4 to go.
I currently am working on Halo 2 achievements.
I currently have all Halo 3 achievements.
I currently have all Halo 3:ODST achievements.
I currently have all Halo: Reach achievements.

The Spartan-IIs.

And while we're at it, III's as well.

is this even a question worth answering?

I have read the books and played the games they don't drop in a drop pod EVERY time they're deployed. If you read The Flood or the Fall of Reach (can't remember) the spartan-II's rode a pelican to the surface but were shot down. Many spartans were injured

FYI: III's weren't mentioned because I JUST started reading about them

I have been outnumbered! Smoke ball ninja powers activate!

*WOOOOOSH!*

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

*Sigh* wish I could find that book to re-read; that part was awesome-tragic:\

Kill them all & let god sort them out

have you ever played a campaign with marines and odsts. They die to grunts. They are horrible. Spartans kill 10,000 elites in a full on war alone.

ODSTs drop feet first into hell because if they die in the drop, they can be replaced because it is easier to be an ODST than a Spartan because ODSTs are not as good of fighters than Spartans.

And Spartans could drop feet first into hell, without drop pods, and take less losses,like Spartan Red Team did in the book Halo: First Strike

What do you mean, Spartans don't have style? If you wanna see style, check out the cutcsene from the last mission in Halo Wars, where those 3 Spartans took on all those elites and won. Now that is style! ODSTs have style, but Spartans have more

"Were it so easy..."

Elites. A single Sangheili Warrior is capable of anything a Spartan II is, and they OUTNUMBER ODSTs.

Would you like to remind me how many Elites Master Chief has killed?
