Are Spartan IIIs, in their SPI armor, as fast and strong as a Spartan II? I know it offers less protection and doesn't even have an energy shield, and it's cheaper, but since it is, are Spartan IIIs not as strong and fast in it?
Also, what was different in the Spartan IIIs training? I remember there was something that they decided to try that increased their adrenaline or something, and was really risky, but did it anyways, what was that specifically? And was there anything else?
Thanks.
SPI armor didn't increase Strength or any other physical or psychological attribute unlike the MJOLNIR which increased the Strength two fold and the reaction time five fold. Place that aside, the Spartan III's are as strong as a Spartan II without armor, in fact, Holy was able to briefly fight Kelly, whom was using her MJOLNIR Mark V armor.
On another note, Spartan III training delves more into Military focused action unlike the II's whom also had college degree education, the III's were injected with a drug that would give them enough "boost" to push themselves to the limits in high-stress situations, the bad thing about it was that it caused aggressive behavior and disobedience.
Not at all? Because I remember reading the beginning of Onyx, and it said that the SIIIs, as they were charging, would move right through the Elites, disarming, taking and killing them with their own energy swords, and MC was hardly able to keep up with an Elite in H2H on 2 occasions (that I can recall), once in FoR on the orbital station, and the other on the flagship against that specops Elite.
Maybe the SIIIs caught them off guard or something though in GoO, and Chief was in a disadvantage in those situations because in FoR, it was in space, a vacuum, and on the flagship he had no shields, no weapon, and I think was hurt, while the Elite had an energy sword.
