Put it this way. I'd rather have John, Kelly, Linda, or Fred watching my back than any of the S-III's.

Seconded.

2's anyone arguing different is brain dead. The 3's in Reach are far more bad ass then the ones in the books and Reach is a game that broke several other canon points...[/quote]

You clearly don't know what you are talking about[/quote]
show me im wrong[/quote]

Or how about you understand what each class was made for and their differences before coming up with an illogical conclusion.[/quote]

Doesn't matter, if you make a claim, you have to back it up.

I am.
Also where did you guys hear they got the same augmentation? My understanding was they got a different one that, while weaker, made it so it could be given to a wider ranger of people.
Wrong, sorry mate. The S-III augmentations, given during Project CRYSANTHEMUM and as described by Kurt in GoO, are identical to the S-II surgical process.

The only changes are that they widened the genetic selection, allowing for subjects not quite as exceptional as the S-IIs, and that it was done in about half the time as the II program. They lacked the growth augmentation that caused increased stature in S-IIs.

Aside from that, the augmentations are identical. Advances in tech allowed for it to be done entirely through chemicals, no surgery involved, with a 100% success rate, no washouts. The result wasn't any weaker, only the subjects selected weren't entirely the genetic paragons that S-IIs are.

Give a S-III Mjolnir armor and some additional training or experience, and they perform just as well. The biggest different is that IIIs were trained for squad-based combat or en masse assault, while IIs are one-man or small-squad juggernauts.

It's a dangerous business, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no telling where you might be swept off to.

End of argument. Summed up perfectly. Refer to this whenever someone asks this question again to save time.

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

we are starting to know that the spartan IIs didn't have alot if many wash outs because they were brought back from tech.


Just an FYI

If i remember correctly, the first contact between spartan 2's and the covies they lost a team member.
But compareing spartan 3 to 2's is silly they were both trained diffrently, they both had diff objective, one had been on the feild for much longer. its like compareing a 20 year Secret services veteran to a 2 year marine's veteran the SAS is going to be better due to more training ext ext. basically if u got a spartan 3 like Noble 6, who follows orders no question's and put him/her with a spartan 2 they would both kick arse at killing, neither are better then eachother they just exel in diffrent forms of combat.
"no matter how much training you do your life can be ended in a instant by a random sniper with a bullet to the head"
