Why can't people say N6 is better?
Why is the Chief on such a pedestal? N6 is equal if not better than the Chief.
Ghosts of Onyx shows Blue team - that's 2 Spartan II's - getting captured and nearly fragged by a bunch of innies. If not for Kurt that would've been the end of Kelly and the Chief.
N6, single-handedly destroyed insurrectionist organizations and made entire militia groups disappear (through assassinations), gaining the reputation of a "lone wolf".
Not only that but Ackerson was so impressed by her skills N6 became his "personal reaper", that should carry the most weight in this argument, the man who despises Spartans, was impressed enough by 6's career record to make her his personal Spartan.
Most people place such high regard on Chief because of what he has done throughout the events of the trilogy. Something I doubt any Spartan but Noble Six could truly pull off. I personally think Chief is the best Spartan, and if Six had survived Reach she would be as well or a damn close contender for the title of "best".
And Ackerson didn't really despise Spartans, otherwise he would not have made his own, he hated Halsey and by extension the SIIs, and he also thought that the SIIs were way too expensive to create and maintain to be truly effective in the long, plus he thought he could do a better job.
We'll never know how 6 would have faired during the events of Halo, she would be at an immediate disadvantage, not having the upgraded implants, allowing her armour to house an AI.
I should have rephrased, he despised how Halsey and the II's were deployed and used, on top of the Spartan II project sapping his funding.
Indeed, we'll never really know how Six would have done, we can make accurate guesses, but yeah, we don't really know.
Ok, I've done similarly before. I get what you mean now.
