Is English your first language? Because some parts of your message were not finished
"Whoever thinks that a spartan is better than an you an wrong" a suitable solution would be "Whoever thinks that a spartan is better than an elite is wrong."

I'm going to have to vote Elites because the Arby 'n' the Chief series, The Arbiter is far more intellectually superior than the chief.

Spartans have stronger shields, read The Flood, an Elite is almost executed for heresy after even suggesting that they may be superior to his own.

Spartans. Why? An 'average' Spartan like Master Chief has killed tons of them, and has taken down 2 or 3 veteran Elites at once in combat, has bested them in hand-to-hand, even when odds are stacked in the Elites' favor, and has outsmarted/outwitted them. From my undersanding, the Spartans' armor is superior, their strength and agility is roughly equal, as well as their training, and Spartans are faster. Elites have superior tech, and have even been bested by Marines. Spartans get my vote.

Sparatans aren't that much better physically, they win by outsmarting their enemies.

I'm fat, bro. You jelly?

Well according to mah humble stats, I've killed around 3,011 in campaign and firefight matchmaking alone, soo yeah I think it's safe to say Spartans are superior.

They are though, just by a bit, and they have better armor (maybe not stronger shields in comparison to some Elites), and as you said, outsmart the enemy.

I woke up one to find my self in a river of honey. Turns out Osama Bin Laden was right.

Elites get my vote. The only reason humanity won is because the Prophets were stupid enough to replace the Elites, who later rebelled. Plus, the Elites are physicly stronger, in the books, an Elite would easily kill a Spartan in melee combat. Elites are also faster, jump higher, and are just plain badass. Besides, I've been a human all my life, and it's boring, being an Elite would definately be better.

Bested by marines? Now, I've never read the books, so you've got me curious. Regarding, skill, and overall combat proficiency, how would an average UNSC footsoldier stack up against an Elite?

OT: Spartans. I feel that others have supplied adequate reasoning for my choice.

"I may not be perfect, but always been true."

This again? It's obvious that they are equal in physic terms....if the Elite had some form of crippling disease (they can easily lift Spartans wearing MJOLNIR so they are stronger than them even without augmentations or any sort of aid). Tactically speaking Spartans have the edge, but only on the ground.

Either way a Brute would rip either of those two to shreds if it was hand to hand, and if you disagree then well, just consider going to the zoo/wild and fighting a gorilla/grizzly bear without any weapon for a fair comparison of a Spartan vs Brute fight.

If it were a question of honor, Elites win hands down, but thats about all they've got! Humans took the elite shield technology and made it better, The Chief alone has outwitted countless Elite, the Spartan K/D ratio v's Elite would if we could look at it be outstanding. Spartan and Elite are well fairly well matched in combat, but seriously, who would want to be a shark?!

Spartans

They have stronger plot shields.

The Elites in reach where bested by spartans IIIs (Noble team) multiple times.

-In the books the elites refer to the Spartan IIs as 'Demons has proud as they are, even they would fear a spartan.

-Don't let the multiplayer cloud your judgement on this one the spartans earned the title 'Demon for a reason.

The Sangheili are more powerful.
Plus there are more of them, than the spartans.

Marines have killed Elites, usually in groups, though, and on occasion.

Spartans win against Elites using speed stealth and suprise, they don't just storm the covenant positions, they're classier than that.

Physically they are about equal in terms of strength, Spartans have better reflexes and shields though.

Honestly, If you were comparing Spartans to Elite Zealots this would be much closer, as the Spartans are the best of the best, so are the Zealots.



Edit: Elites wipe the floor with Marines, sure they can be killed by them but they are better in every way. I cannot recall a Marine ever single handedly taking on an Elite and winning, any time in cannon. (there might be 1 or 2 exeptions to this, but in general...)

The only instance I remember off the top of my head is when a Marine used a gauss turret to blow one in half in Evolutions.

OT: I'd say the Elites are physically equal to the SIIs, but the IIs usually have the advantage of being on defense, being spread out, superior armor technology (such as the HUD, com-channels and such) and possibly being more intelligent. Elites are tactical geniuses, but that usually applies to higher ranking warriors. They likely have a higher average IQ then humans, but Spartans were unique.

However in 1v1 matches, it has been shown time and time again Spartans struggle with them.

United Armed Forces

The Sangheili were nerfed so the Spartans, and, by extension, Humanity, could win at all.

Something to be said though.


The Spartans almost always have the element of supprise, or at least much more expiereince fighting Elites than vice versa, there are plenty of Elites for the Spartans to fight, but I bet most Elites never even encounter a Spartan, so when they do all they have to go off are rumors.

Elites seem to constantly under estimate Spartans for this reason, believing no human could be so dangerous.
