[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] hypodermik Spartans iii's are not weaker than sii's. They had better augmentations and they had a 100% survival rate [url=http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Project_CHRYSANTHEMUM]Proof[/url][/quote] Their augmentations were more advanced, but didn't make them stronger. They also had armor that was not as strong. An SII and an SIII fighting hand to hand might be pretty closely matched, but put them in their own armor and an SII wins every time. The SIIs are bigger, stronger, and faster than SIIIs.
