It is true that technically S-II are better than S-III, in that they have better augmentations and more training, and generally better equipment, but Noble 6 was an exception because of how good he was.
So yes, I think it could be said that Noble 6 was a better fighter than most S-II's. but he might not have been stronger or faster than all of them
Wrong...
Spartan II and III augmentations where the same in results. There has NEVER been a statement saying the S3 augmentations were worse in universe.
Spartan II training had a lot of academics. Spartan III training was more military focused, and better in that area (I have three quotes to back it up.) So yes, Spartan IIs received more training, but it was on a wide variety of stuff. Spartan III training was labeled as better.
but S-II's were, overall, better soldiers, right?
I'm asking because from what I remember from the books, Master Chief's class of spartan were abducted at a young age, trained and indoctrinated for years and then given the peak of military technology and augmentations, while Noble Team's class was a little more...rushed(?) through the process, with less intense augmentations, a little less training, and less powerful armor. At the beginning of Ghosts of Onyx, all the S-III's are only, like, young teenagers weren't they?
All three Spartan III companies had all the recruits at age 4, 5 and 6, with some exceptions being Carter (11), Emile (9) and Jun (7). The Spartans at the beginning of the Book were already graduated and were part of Operation Torpedo, which was their last mission (age 12, Beta company), so in overall, they spent at least 6 years training.
And for god's sake, the Alpha company Spartans were forced to paradrop to a designated point on their first night at Onyx.
