Yeah, I'd have to say Spartan IIIs in their suicide missions were slightly more badass then Spartan IIs.
I mean, alpha company they lasted 7 days of combat in enemy territory until Covenant brought in a MASSIVE force.
Beta company was kicking the Covenant's asses so hard they had to bring in warships to end the battle (that is when Beta broke up, and only then.)
For a bunch of rather young soldiers in SPI, not MJOLNIR, I'd say yeah they could be better then Spartan IIs.
Ok so Noble Team were Spartans III with a Hyper Lethal Spartan III that vanished Rebels groups (not high tech advanced military Covenant) with MJOLNIR armor, only one survived the Battle of Reach (Jun)
The battle of the Unyielding Hierophant, were pretty much the same quantity of Spartans with same MJOLNIR armor, only one Spartan II died, (which they lived longer and fought longer than any other Spartan III) with help of a copy of a malfunctioning Cortana and managed to destroy the place and destroyed 300 Covenant warships.(probably the same fleet that glassed Reach)
Still I think Spartans II are way better to me.
I wouldn't be using the Rebel excuse against the Spartan III's, seeing how Blue team almost got killed by them, if it wasn't for Kurt they would have been turned into confetti.
Ok I won't use that from Noble Six, still, he is dead, along with the rest of Noble Team, except for Jun. Oops! Noble team is still dead and they had Auntie dot assitance along with the whole Reach military on their side.
In the mean time, Unyielding Hierophant it was John, Linda, Fred, Will, and Grace. With a malfunctioning copy Cortana, surrounded by (again) 300 Covenant Warships.
Only one Spartan II KIA. Does it look better now?
P.S. Oh and no Reach military assitance, no back ups and no place to run.
To save time I highlighted your points that make no difference in the chances of those teams' survival. Cortana's copy was malfunctioning but she had already achieved her purpose. The 500 warships couldn't do anything to the Spartans anyway since they were inside the station. Also they were able to move stealthily through most of the station until they were ambushed by Brutes, who killed Grace in under a second and nearly killed the rest of them.
On to Noble Team, the presence of Auntie Dot and Reach's Army made no difference in any of their deaths. Auntie Dot couldn't activate the Slipspace bomb remotely. She wasn't there when Noble Team was trapped in Covenant occupied New Alexandria while it was being glassed. She couldn't do anything to help Noble Team on their suicide mission to the Autumn, and she couldn't warn Emile that there was a Zealot sneaking up on him. She also could not have helped Noble 6 fight off a vastly superior number of Elites in hand to hand combat. I have absolutely no idea why you even brought her up. Seems like nobody on this forum can think rationally
