Only Ironman can kill a Spartan II now? Hmmmm, how curious, I remember reading about several Spartans getting killed by other people, like this:
-Sam: you could say that he was killed by a Jackal, because he couldn't leave the ship after being shot by one.
You mean before they had even developed shielding for the Mjolnir armor? You cannot use that example to show how Spartan IIs can die because they were far more resilient later on.
Doesn't change the fact that a Spartan was still taken by surprise and effectively incapacitated by enemy forces.
Linda only took a few shots more than Sam and that was with Mk V shields.
Regardless of the "resilience" factor, it wasn't a matter of that resilience that led to both being hit enough to break through their respective suits.
All Spartans whether they be IIs or IIIs died from either piss poor luck, being overwhelmed by enemy forces, or making a decision to sacrifice one's own life. So using Sam as an example of how a Spartan has died is fair game because that's simply how it happened. It can't be excused merely because he didn't have Mk V. The same goes for Shelia and all the others that died prior to receiving Mk V on Reach.
