Noble Six mostly fought against Human rebels, the Spartan IIs fought against the Covenant, a far more powerful enemy. Most of these Spartan IIs survived most of the war against the Covenant, whereas Noble Six died within 1-2 months of fighting the Covenant for the first time properly, since there is no proof that he had fought against the Covenant before.
Until someone gives me proof that Noble Six has been in atleast 5 major battles against the Covenant before Reach:
Noble Six < Most Spartan IIs
There isn't any proof that she hasn't really fought the Covenant in major battles before either. I mean really you can say whatever you want about Six as Bungie didn't create much of a background for him/her, that's our job. So you can say for your Six that he/she is inexperienced against the Covenant.
However, considering that the war would have been going on for quite a while, I don't think it likely that Reach was Six's first time fighting the Covenant.
Noble Six is on the same level as the core group of Spartans IIs we've all come to know and love over the last ten years.
Six had knowledge of how strong Zealot shields were. Implication of Experience against the Covenant.Posted by: hal0 slay3r661

Six, by himself, made entire rebel groups vanish, he piloted a Sabre with multiple successful missions, and his combat effectiveness mached John-117's. Six easily outclasses a vast majority of S-IIs. Don't give me that S-II's are always better bull-blam!-.
lets say for arguments sake you have an even 1.00 k/d and i have the same, now lets say you played 10 thousand games and held that 1.00 kd, now lets say i played one game where i got 1 kill and no deaths, i would still have a 1.00 would i not? so master chief and 6 might look about the same on paper, but john had to do WAY more work to keep those stats up.
Besides the fact Master Chief is far from the best Spartan... lets expand your flawed comparison.
Lets say you have a 1.00 k/d, however you fight alone against entire teams of 8 and keep winning.
Now lets say I have a 1.00 K/D, however I rarely, IF EVER, fight alone. I'm always fighting with my team and as team leader I'm not killing that many people.
Now who is better? John was a team leader, he was never alone. Also, the Spartan IIs were NOT sent purely against the Covenant. They were sent on anti-rebel missions during the war as well. Not many, but still some.
Did you know in Ghosts of Onyx Master Chief walked straight into a rebel trap and was defeated? He only escaped because Kurt had held back. This was in a rebel base, probably not that different then the ones Six took out completely alone.
