Spartan II's VS Spartan III's?

I have been reading alot of posts about them and was hoping to learn more about them. If anyone knows the differences between the two leave a post. Any info will be helpful. And if they were to fight who would win? [Edited on 08.19.2010 6:00 AM PDT]

  • Ok, Spartan IIs, you might know that they are genetically advanced/enhanced super soldiers. Abducted as kids and replaced with "Flash Clones" (Clones that are grown to maturity but tend not to live very long). These kids all had a specific gene type, limiting the candidate area by a very small margin. These Spartan IIs ranged from about 6'5" to a little over 7'. A lot of money went into these guys. Later people began to wonder about these silent green heroes, so the UNSC released who they were to boost moral. Every single Spartan II that dies is listed as MIA (Missing in Action). Supposedly Spartan IIs are extremely pale under the helmet from being in their armour for so long. Spartan IIIs are the "Expendable Hero". They cost less, they can be "Created" in larger numbers since the gene type pool is much much larger than that of a spartan II. Spartan IIIs tend to be much younger than Spartan IIs on the account that they usually don't survive their first mission (Which is usually a suicide mission). At first Spartan IIIs armour didn't have shields like the Spartan IIs, however they did have a very impressive camo system in their SPI armour system. Most Spartan IIIs were recruited when they were kids shortly after their parents were killed or when their planets were destroyed. Thus far these remain top secret to the general public.

  • Spartan II's are the superior group. If you read the Ghosts of Onyx it details how the Spartan III's were made and the fate of the last Spartan II's and Dr. Halsey. If you want a close comparison of Spartan II's and III's, look at Jorge, he's the only one in the group who is a Spartan II.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] rienstien Spartan 2s are fully augmented, steel bones, better reflexes - the works. their armor is also better, with recharging shields and other stuff. Spartan 3s have minor augments, but they were given a drug that makes them crazier and angrier, but after a few years it slowly destroys their brain. their suits are kind of like super ODST armor, SPI armor. It has minor camouflage ability. Spartan 2s were chosen for genetics, spartan 3s were just randomly taken, orphaned children. In a one on one fight a spartan 2 will win, but i'm not sure what would happen if you had a large amount of them.[/quote] Actually, Spartan-III's (Gamma Company only) had the augmentation to their frontal lobe to enhance the "animal" part of the brain when in a critical condition or under extreme stress. It made them lose unit cohesion but gave them the edge to survive longer (like Dante, who had his chest blown apart but was still able to carry on fighting for a short while after), and it was calmed down by a counteragent that would have to be regularly induced.

  • Spartan IIs. Spartan IIIs are a low budget solution to inspire Morale in Troops. Spartan IIs - Not Many (High SUrvivabilty), High Budget, MJOL Armor Spartan IIIs - Many (Low Survivabilty), Low Budget, Cheap EVO Suits, some with Camo. Noble Team is an exception.

  • The Spartan IIs are taller,stronger,faster and the augmentations they received are far more complicated and dangerous. That's all I can think of off the top of my head but you could try [url=http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/SPARTAN-II_Program]Here to find out more about both.[/url]

  • The budget for the Spartan-II Project was too much, Colonel Ackerson proposed a Spartan-III Project where the candidates would be selected from a wider gene pool and be more cost effective - effectively doing more for less. Spartan-IIIs also had a higher survival rate during augmentation, where as Spartan-IIs had about a 33% chance of survival.

  • last time i checked spartan 2s because the where all around better but like in early posts they took longer to make and apparently the first batch of spartan 3s were failures. (they all died the first time they saw combat) they also needed constant medication because something about them ment they could die faster. something about not feeling enough pain. idk i was told about this a LONG time ago so i could be wrong.
