A note to everybody who keeps saying the commando's energy blasts and high tech whatnots will dominate the Spartans, you forget that their reaction time is 20 milliseconds without the armor. With the armor, that is reduced to around 10 milliseconds reaction time, giving them ample time to dodge whatever the commandoes throw at them. They may not have much effect on the commandos, but if they can get close and engage in hand to hand combat, they will win. I say again, the winner depends on the situation, as both are very, very equally matched. So people, please take into account the Spartan's abilities, and not just their weaponry.
And please stop saying Jango's genes can match the Spartan's augumentations, that is just ridiculous. Jango may be good, but he isn't 20 millisecond 10 ton lifting good. The MJOLNIR can take as much, if not more punishment then the Katarn. You say they can withstand frags, etc, same goes for the Spartans. You say they have vibro blades, I say the Spartans have Combat knives. On an even battle, the Spartans WILL definitely win, and don't take your Star Wars bias and ignore the facts. The only reason the commandoes have an edge on the Spartans is that there are hundreds, if not thousands of Republic Commandoes, and only 30 spartans. (This was before the Covenant War, and the Inssurectionist missions of course. If this was after the covie wars, then it'll be Master Chief vs the commando army, which is hardly fair.)
Yes, I'm aware that the clones have their own modifications. Those modifications are still no match for Spartan Augumentations. People, please. Stop being fanboys. The only real parts they dominate Spartans in is numbers and
Sure, you say if they get the jump on the Spartans, then they will win. Same goes for the Spartans. I seriously doubt anyone will get a jump on anyone with those motion trackers, though.
Also, STOP SAYING THEY'LL PIERCE THE ARMOR IN SECONDS, I MEAN WTF, PPL! Yeah, uh...the armor has taken the brute force of the Covenant's energy weapons, I'm pretty sure they'll stand up to the commandoe's weapons pretty well.
I say again, DON'T EXPECT ONE SHOT KILLS OR GRENADES TO ACTUALLY HIT THE SPARTAN! Read their augementation stats again, people. I think you fail to grasp just how quick 20 milliseconds is. Just to give you a hint, fast enough to dodge a bullet attack point blank. (Halo: Fall of Reach.) That was without armor. Now, with the armor, that reaction time has substantially increased. And you STILL SAY THAT THEY'LL BE EASY TO KILL!
Squad battles: Sure Delta has Sev the sniper and whatnot. Spartan squads do to, genius. How come you think taht they'll have a sniper, the Spartans won't? If it's Linda, I'd say the commandoes better start pissing their pants. Why? Linda has managed to hit a spot in a banshee that's normally nearly impossible to hit, dangling on a rope, with one leg and arm occupied. She one-arm sniped a tiny spot. Pretty damn amazing. Whereas Sev got beaten by a couple of bugs. (I still seriously doubt he's dead. The fanboy in me refuses to believe Sev is that weak)
Yes, I'm aware that the clones have their own modifications. Those modifications are still no match for Spartan Augumentations. People, please. Stop being fanboys. The only real parts they dominate Spartans in is numbers and loadouts.
If we bring the fleet into this, the UNSC will most likely beat the Republic fleet. The MAC rounds can easily outrange the weaponry of the Republic Ships. Also, the Republic's bridge is somehow potruding ON THE TOP of the warship. Great...placement republic. One MAC round through that and there we go. And don't talk about a fighting over Coruscant. If we're talking about home field advantages, then it's only fair that they'll fight over Earth. Super MAC rounds will one hit kill ANYTHING! They also reload in 5 seconds. I mean, they one hit killed Covenant ships, which are superior to both republic and UNSC ships.
All in all, I'd say the best thing that might make everyone squeal with delight. They high five, go to the bar, pick up some chicks (the male spartans, of course) and have a drink together. Then they're BEST PALS FOREVER! They'll just simply kick ass. I think there was a fanfiction about taht, actually.
Meeko. Uuuuh...the Spartans were made when they were 12, now physically 30 something. Mentally 60 something or so, due to the not aging cryo sleep. Let's not bring experience in this, if we were going by experience, commandoes will lose.
Oh..and the guy with the phsyics. Leave me alone T_T. Where the hell did you get those specs anyways?
