So as some of us know, Starcraft II Has been released Today, I have not purchased it yet (My gaming rig is still broken). But after watching a friend play it, the first cutscene is that of a person being fitted with the Marine armor of the game.
And that got me thinking, In an armor battle, who would win?
The Halo series MJOLNIR Armor (Without Shield/with sheild) or the Marine armor of Starcraft II (Which is more mech if anything)
My opinion is that of the MJOLNIR armor for its slim-line look, rather than the Terran Marin armor, which looks more bulky.
Don't flame Starcraft II, if you dont like the game or this thread just leave.

Well, seeing as how Spartans have armour lock, active camoflauge and the like, I think they have the tactical advantage. If Spartans were in starcraft, they'd be more akin to heavily armoured ghosts than anything (spec ops specialists). Although I don't really know how tough the marine armour actually is.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Abtrusity StarCraft is -blam!-.[/quote] Upgrade your PC, install it, smile. OT: I think Space Marine armor would be a better comparison. Although I think the SC 2 marine armor is better then the mjolnir.

And even if the gameplay isnt fun to you, the story is pretty awesome.

I believe the canon places SC2 at around the early 2500s. I think. Anyway, it's hard to say. The Marine armour looks tough, but they lack shielding and get torn to shreds by almost everything (in their defence, Zerg and Protoss seem pretty wicked). In Halo, the MJOLNR armour protects better against plasma weaponry and allows the wearer to lift A LOT of weight. I'd have to give it to Halo, there.

Meh, It thought it'd be a cool little versus battle.

What does this have to do with Reach? But back to the main post, The MJOLNIR armor will, due to the fact it's much smaller, and there's a Spartan inside. The Starcraft armor is piloted by a marine, who isn't a super soldier. And as you said, it's more of a Mech. I see the mech as being bulky, and hard to turn fast, where the Spartan just has a set of armor, heavy as it may be, but he/she can still move rather fast. [Edited on 07.27.2010 2:28 PM PDT]
