They are better trained and definitely faster.

As far as strength their suits make them way stronger, enough to be almost equivalent to a Wookie.

Basicly their suits have steroids, which can enhance all their abilities to match to better deal with their opponents.

Mixing all that with the fact that commandos are better trained in hand-to-hand combat they have the edge.

Yet, it wouldn’t end in hand-to-hand combat because the Spartan wouldn’t be able to beat them.

Star wars technology is more advanced.

It’s pretty stupid pitting people with far infierior technology against people with supieror technology.

Meh. They seem fairly equal to me, after reading the books and playing the games.

Still, the Spartan weapons are entirely useless. They only have the rocket launcher, which they can only hold so much ammo.

The commandos have 3 weapons-in-one.

This saying it like it is

okay let me lay it out for u dumbasses

The commandoes were made to fight with the jedi, but everyone of them also new order 66, which was to kill the jedi, making them have multiple purposes, both to help and then later kill the jedi.

But to beat the 30 Spartans and their oversheilds is almost suicide. Most likly is. Plus they have their own their own small squads, demolitions experts, snipers, and commanders. Making it pretty much obvious that they know hand signals and are the most elite soliders, considering, if u read the book, that they were made to save all humankind and destroy the covenant.

Plus there were more games about starwars, then there was halo.

1. You have no right to make things like that up because you obviously lack alot of knowledge in Star Wars.

2. The commandos where trained to be able to fight everybody, take over the galaxy, and kill the jedi.

3. If they can kill the jedi how is killing The Spartans suicide.

4. The commandos have everything you just said plus more.

5. The Spartan weapons are useless against commandos. They can only use the rocket launcher, which they can only hold so much ammo knowing how big those shells are. grenades are useless because The Spartans wouldn’t be able to get close enough to use them.


Thank you for your comment. You did nothing but make Halo fans look bad.

Those are Covenant weapons, not Spartan. All halo fans should know that.

Also, Covenant weapons are pathetically weak. I rarely ever get killed in the game by Covenant weapons. Not to mention they are extremely easy to dodge.

I’m always killed by a Spartan weapon.

Plasma in real life does not work that way.

The laws of physics in Halo change the way it works in the games.

They wouldn’t get close enough and it’d take too long.

all i gotta say is that spartans were made by humans and the commandos were made by a superior race from head to toe. let’s face it, human’s are the most inferior race in the galaxy in almost every sci-fi book, movie, comic, blah blah blah. so, if i were to put my money on who could make the better soldier, i’d put my money on the aliens.

The commandos win hands down because the spartans are still using projectiles a.k.a. bullets which most likely deflect off the commandos armor. Or dent it as they deflect off.

While you seem very versed in the Star Wars universe it is clearly evident that you did not bother to read the Halo novels or Graphic Novel. I have read many star wars encyclopedias/novels, and the conclusion is clearly evident that Spartans are much faster, stronger, smarter, and can work in a much more efficient group. The Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund clearly outlines all of this.

They are all bigger than Commandos (which stand at roughly 6’5 while the smallest Spartans are over 7’0), and much faster (able to dodge all non-Spartan melee attacks/the fastest can even dodge bullets at medium to long ranges; only once have they been proven to didge short range).

The Covenant race seems not too far behind the technology of Star Wars due to their control of light-speed (or slip space) and plasma technology that was created roughly ten thousand years previously by an extinct race (the forerunners). This pits them probably 10,000 years behind Star Wars technology due to the fact that Hyperspace trvael (according to the KOTOR timeline) was created 24,000 years before Episode IV. So, the Spartans are not that far behind the prowess of Commandos in terms of the technological assets of the enemies they fight. Also keep in mind that the suits they have are even more advanced than Covenant technology of plasma shields. I also do not recall the Commandos having any sort of rechargeable shielding that can compete with that of the Spartans Mjolnir VII armor.

In conclusion, the only drawback of the Spartans is their inadequate weapons technology. However, due to their proven ability to adapt with and combat Covenant technology it would not be long before they could accomplish the same with the Commandos. In a guerilla skirmish the Spartans could easily commandeer the necessary supplies from the Commandos in order to defeat them. Their unmatched adaptibility/strategic brilliance sets them apart.

Brain- You have obviously read close to nothing in the Star Wars universe.

1. Plasma technology is far outdated and pretty much useless.

2. Don’t combine Spartan and Covenant technology and it’s quite obvious the covenant has way better technology than the Spartans. If you think Spartan technology is more advanced than alien technology and not far behind Star Wars technology you have problems. Bullets are outdated and useless against the commando armor and shields. Not to mention the commando 3-in-1 weapon changes easily and does more damage than plasma and bullets can.

You are also forgetting taht Star Wars took place “A LONG time ago in a galaxy far far away..."
In other words the Spartans are far behind and since they have poor weaponry compared to teh commandos how they going to do any harm to them.
The commando guns are obviously strong enough to take out shield generators and with their guns taking out outdated Spartan shields isn’t going to be a problem. Not to mention the commando suit has a vibroblade. Vibroblades are strong enough to cut through shields.

Here’s some more advanced Star Wars technology.
“Demolition charges: These are command-detonated, variable yield, high explosive shaped-charges used for military demolitions purposes. Used to destroy targets that are either too large or too heavily armored to be effectively damaged with the commandos' handheld ranged weapons. These high-tech explosives are programmable with the built-in keypad to customize blast profile tamping based on the target type, thus maximizing the destructive efficiency upon detonation. Once placed, a commando takes a few moments to program and arm the charge. Upon arming, the squad leader can detonate them at will using a handheld remote detonator."

It can be set according to an enemy type and it is strong enough to take out large creatures and heavily armored enemies, that includes shielding.

"# DC-17m: Fully automatic rifle. The DC-17m is a light repeating blaster rifle capable of rapidly firing blaster bolts. Each power pack clip provides enough energy for 60 shots, and you may carry five clips. The blaster has two attachments expanding its use. In multiplayer this is the standard Republic gun.
# DC-17m Sniper Rifle Attachment: This attachment turns the DC-17m into an ion pulse sniper rifle. Its rate of fire is very much reduced, but it has higher power, accuracy, and an electromag scope (capable of scoping to 10x and 20x magnification). It uses a special high-discharge 5-round power pack; the player may hold 4 clips (for 20 rounds total).
# DC-17m Anti-Armor Attachment: A rocket propelled grenade attachment for the DC17m; it’s effective against Super Battle Droids and armored vehicles. The player can hold a maximum of four charges, which must be loaded individually after each shot.
# DC-15s Side Arm Blaster: A low-power pistol. It has a self charging dynamic energy cell that recharges at a slow but steady rate. It can only be fired five or six times consecutively before the user must pause to let the pistol replenish its ammunition."

Notice the sniper rifle has ion pulse, that means it can take out shields in one hit.

3. The commando suits do have shields that regenerate, more proof you are lacking knowledge in the Star Wars universe.

4. Wookies are as strong if not stronger than Spartans and commandos can beat them in hand-to-hand combat.

5. The Spartans are bigger and therefore are bigger targets and hand-to-hand isn’t going to happen because the Spartans would be shot down before they could even touch the commandos. What are the Spartan going to do? Run towards the commandos like berserkers?

6. The commando suit takes use of enhancers that enhance all the commando abilities so that their strength and speed can match those they are facing.

7. Also, didn’t most of the Spartans get wiped out by the covenant? That’s adaptation alright.

8. You have also mentioned dodging bullets. Are you saying Spartans can dodge the fire from commando with no cover whatsoever? That’s definitely overexagerating if you are because they woudl obviously get tired and can probably dodge only up to a few bullets before they need to find cover.

Also I hope you aren’t using MC for all your information because this is Spartans and MC isn’t a regular Spartan. If you bring him in I’ll bring Boba Fett or Jango in and you don’t want that because their suits are strong enough to take several direct hits from rocket launchers.
