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.
