The point still stands that the IIIs have nowhere near the requirements of the IIs(Besides NOBLE). Halsey could only find 150 out of 800 planets. Ackerson got close to 1,000 working only with refugees (In total).
And still, Glasslands is canon, as declared by 343, which ultimately has the final word. I hate some of the things Halo: Legends even more than Glasslands did with canon, but I accept it anyways because that's not my call.
On this, I refuse. All it does is show that the S-IIIs, despite being called super-soldiers, aren't. Yeah they have increased muscle mass, unbreakable bones, increased eyesight prowess and pretty much everything else the S-IIs had...but since Traviss or anyone at 343 seemed to read Ghosts of Onyx, they forgot.
You expect them to be the same as the IIs, on the sole basis of the same augmentations? The GENES is the determinate of the augmentation process, which the IIIs have less "perfect".
Better genes + Augs = Better effects
Lesser than ^ genes + Augs = Lesser than ^ effects
Which I call BS on since Olivia sparred with Kelly pretty well before Kelly punched her into a tree when they first met. So yeah, a small S-III who moved fast enough for Kelly to be surprised and managed to block her blows is worse. Wasn't exactly a fair fight either, what with Kelly wearing MJOLNIR.
But it makes me wonder, if a S-III couldn't hurt an old lady, how did they manage to do all of their seemingly impossible missions.
1) She blocked 1 or 2 moves then got smacked into the tree. This was when Kelly was surprised and probably underestimating Olivia. Not to mention Olivia was invisible. Olivia didn't even come close to even doing anything to Kelly. Hold up, I'll find the exact quote.
2)Guns, numbers, using martial arts techniques, ect. A single punch is hardly the basis for anything. Hmm, a martial arts master punches someone in the head and it doesn't kill them, so I guess that means they can't kill another human in H2H. Quite the leap there, especially because you don't have any quotes showing S-IIIs have the strength that that you are suggesting. We know that S-IIs can, but as I've amply shown, S-IIIs are not the physical equals of S-IIs.
