This is purely hypothetical and off-topic but I want to know what the community thinks. If a squad/team of 3 Spartans (Halo Franchise) went toe-to-toe with a fireteam of 3 Guardians who would rise victorious?

Ok now are we only basing this off the games or can delve into other lore because Spartans....something else in the books.

8 RepliesSpartans can flip tanks. Guardians have a hard time flipping sparrows.

4 RepliesMaster chief fell from space, he's survived an evil parasite named the flood, he survived a nuke, Microsoft contributed and the game series is still awesome

7 RepliesGuardians can respawn. So, guardians

Guardians armor are nothing but that armor. A Spartans armor actually augments the physical attributes such as speed and strength not to mention outside of the armor Spartans are a lot more than normal humans

Anyone saying Guardians can beat Spartans. Don't say Warlocks will self rez they'll die from radiation.

3 RepliesEdited by SettleDown716: 6/11/2015 6:16:46 AMNow a spartan bathed in the light of the traveler...well. I also feel destiny takes place way further in the future beyond the events of Halo, where human have graduated to just more than kinetic weapons. It's hard to compare, I def don't think you can call a spartan laser a burn weapon, it's a laser, and covenant use controlled super heated plasma so I wouldn't call that void either(what the hell are the Destiny elements anyway). Then again a Cabal is 800 lbs where as a spartan is like 1000 lbs and genetic monster all augmented by that ridiculous armor, which would destroy and probably mangle any normal human who tried to wear it. I'm not really clear on what enhancements guardian armor has besides stat increases. Idk I feel like in a more realistic or comparable setting a spartan would fair better then one would think. This could go on forever, but until canon gives us a quantifiable measure by which to draw a comparison we'll never really know.

The Guardians can go all night, and the Spartans have the size to support such energy. It's a tie.

2 RepliesAs much as I would like to say Spartans, Guardians have Super Abilities...enough said.

Edited by The Gunslinger: 7/15/2015 1:16:48 AMHmm.....it's 48% Spartan vs 52% guardian......Spartans win

I voted thinking it was the greek Spartans. Those guys would annhilate guardians.
-
Spartans are bred for war and have much better training and physical attributes than guardians. Spartans have gear that counters or matches most of the guardians supers and abilities. They have armor lock to counter literally every super a guardian could use. A 6 man spartan squad (especially one up to noble team's caliber) would beat a 6 man guardian fireteam due to their superior training alone granted it'd be a close fight. Plus if the guardians got master chief then it'd be no contest.

1 Replythree words, ghorn, and supers.

Guardians have an advantage with thier abilities. But... Spartans have a complex training system making them the most dangerous thing to encounter on the battlefield. A fireteam of Spartans can most likely kill a fireteam of Guardians except guardians are already dead and be rebuilt from thier ghost.
-
3 RepliesI'm going to assume majority of the community hasn't played halo or bothered to follow it. So this explains why they think guardians would win lol.
-
would be a close fight in my opinion.
-
Guardians are more of the adventure type whereas Spartans are only trained in military strategy and combat. Spartans would come out on top although it would be a close fight.
-
Personally if the an game spartan face an in game guardian, the guardian we probably win. Through lore though, we can't really say because destiny's lore does not explain the guardians best abilities. For all we know they might be very powerful as well.
-
Lets face it, if spartans were about to lose they would just activate a halo
-
If people have actually read the Halo books, then they would know that the Spartans would win every time.
