Spartan IIIs are garbage. Unless mainline MJOLNIR is in the budget range.

Face it. S-IIIs will never have the combat records that the IIs did. I doubt any human combatant in history will live up to their legend.
-
Lol but I'll take a guess a spartan 3 is more advanced and trained than anyone out there today.
-
Well, to be fair, they were a bunch of [i]12 year olds on suicide missions[/i]. Your not gonna get much of a combat record from that.
-
I think he meant S-II since S-III weren't trained from young ages.
-
Yes they were. Not as young, though.
-
Um... No? S-IIIs are just as effifcient, if not more than, S-IIs.
-
lol 300 dying in one op that would take 4 2's
-
S-IIs: taken from young age after examining superior mental and physical qualities to learn only war. Physically augmented on to increase senses and strength, as well as size. 50% survivability rate. Given top notch armour. S-IIIs- orphans and run-aways taken and trained to be canon fodder. Augmented on with more advanced medicine, does not affect size, 100 % survivability rate. Hundreds of kids. Given inferior armour to the Mjolnir. 2s are better on combat due to their size, superior mental state and armour. But there weren't enough of them to turn the tide of the war, rendering them inefficient.
-
I prefer my Spartans not expendable. And if they are, then they better have MJOLNIR.
-
Well, based on how many Spartan's we'd have if my suggestion works, they'd be expendable. And besides, realistically, we don't have power armour.
-
Wtf? I think you need to catch up on your reading. S-III's are no where near as good as their predecessors. S-III's are a generic Walmart off brand. Just because its the next edition doesn't mean it's better.
-
The s-III's had a few advantages. They could function while Near dead, and when under intense stress they go ape shit. A step up from odst, a step down from s-II
-
s-II's could do that a well. In fact they could do all of that more efficiently, but this mostly comes from their armor.
-
The super adrenaline near death thing was exclusive to the last batch of spartan 3's. Only like 5 people in ONI knew about it at all,
-
No it wasn't. Kelly is an example.
-
She was mortally wounded, and incapacitated. Dante was shot and lost half his organs basically, and he kept fighting until he died without noticing. If you read ghosts of onyx it talks about this modification. It was developed because Kurt saw his Spartans die and wanted to give the last batch an extra edge.

Edited by ch33zy burrito: 11/1/2013 10:46:05 AMOh sorry, I meant Linda in The Fall of Reach and First Strike. And I have read Ghosts of Onyx before so... yeah.
-
I knew it was Linda or Kelly that got wounded at the end, I have also ready fall of reach.that part was easy to miss though, Kurt was checking the meds in the spartan 3's surgery room, making sure the illegal augmentation was there, because the surgeons didn't even know what they would be doing.
-
Wether it was easy to miss doesn't matter, and I don't see how it was in the first place.
-
It mattered because I was stating that "edge" the 3's had over the 2's, in their defense after they were just shat upon.
-
No, S-IIIs, on a purely proportionately physical level, were just as good as S-IIs, but that they no longer used physical augmentation, and instead used medicinal (needles) means to augment their Spartans. The S-IIs were bigger due to physical augmentation. And mental superiority gave them an edge. Not to mention, being trained from 6 years, which (more or less) the S3s were as well.
-
-
Okay.
-
They are the cheaper versions.
