"Halo, it's divine wind will rush through the stars, propelling all who are worthy along the path of salvation!"

In multi player, are the Spartans II's or III's ?

No?
Have you SEEN the difference between Jorge and Six?
Yes, III's are super soldiers, but II's are walking breathing death bringers.

I saw this to avoid a debate on which is better something that normally ends up being bias; thus i said they are equal with a margin for error.

The only difference i see between jorge and six is size and muscle, that is all the causal fan is going to see.

Well, Spartan II's were a bit more Lone Wolf, even when they were in teams they still had a tendency to split up; however when you hear about Spartan III's they are almost ALWAYS in teams; so IMO: 1 Spartan II: 3 Spartan III's. On the subject of size and muscle, this is true, Spartan III's may be a bit quicker though, having lighter armour.

your proving yourself wrong.

SIIs were team players but could work independently, john is the only spartan to be alone for key events; something the SIIIs couldn't do until GAMMA team.

Spartan IIIs had to work as a team due to them being used as suicide soldiers and not having Mark armor. when they lost unit cohesion they got slaughtered (a major flaw) and GAMMA team was the only team to solve that issue along with headhunters and private teams (noble).

speed wise SIIs would be faster due to them being enhance by mark V/VI.

I will make this short and sweet.

Usually Spartan 2s were always superior, but that was because of the fact that Spartans 3s were mass produced to be used as suicide soldiers. So naturally, they wouldn't be given the best armor and equipment. Spartan 3s usually wear SPI armor, but the Spartans in Noble Team, except for Jorge (as he is a Spartan 2), were the best of the best Spartan 3s and were handpicked out of the different Companies. They were then given Mjolnir armor, just like the Spartans 2s had. The Spartan 2 genetic pool of candidates was also smaller, meaning that they were generally more the perfect specimens. But the Spartan 3s of Noble Team were just as good as Spartan 2s. Noble 6 is also the only other Spartan, besides Master Chief, to be ranked Hyper Lethal.

First off the hyper lethal statement is just marketing and should be taken with a micron of salt.

always superior in what?, they both do different missions. they weren't the "best" they just survived a few missions.

I will try not to be rude, but re read my post! What I am saying is this:

1. The Spartans 3s of Noble were just as good as Spartan 2s!

2. Spartan 2s were generally better because:

a. They were chosen from a more narrow (or ideal) gene pool.

b. They were given better armor and equipment. (mjolnir vs SPI)

c. As the Spartan 2s were not created to be suicide soldiers, they lived a lot longer (surviving a heck of a lot more than just a "few" missions), thereby gaining a lot more experience in the field. Most of the Spartan 3s died in combat before they were teenagers. Also, this is my opinion so don't flame, I believe the Spartan 2s also had superior training. If you read Ghosts of Onyx, Kurt states that the first company of Spartan 3s lost there unit cohesion while being attacked.
