TSR Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 you pitch 1 spartan agains 1 clone commando, the spartan wouldnt even break a sweat snapping the commandos neck. you pitch 100 spartans against 100 commandos, again, the spartans wouldnt stretch a muscle taking them down.

TSR Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 apart from 1 spartan has obliterated countless covenant armardas practically on his lonesome. the commandos call for backup whenever they see a lone battledroid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taclled Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 The only time they called for backup was when they needed a few good cooks to make REAL food no processed junk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niner_777 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Besides, commandos can call for backup. Most cases, spartans can't. This would give commandos a definite edge if we're bringing this aspect in to the fray. Â Which could lead to another question: LAAT/I gunship vs. Pelican, LOL Â I don't know much about either.

-Synthetik- Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Gunship... Pelicans can easily be brought down by one scarab blast, Gunships can take a dosen of those. Besides pinpoint lasers, missiles, and pulse lasers bristle the gunship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSR Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Venom, the Commandos never called for backup. Â quiet you i agree there, the LAAt has the pelican owned. what, theres the laat with goodness knows what missiles and fizz bangers, and then theres the pelican with a main armament of a rotating 50.cal, and secondary (rear attachment) another 50.cal. so i agreewith that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachineCult Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 You can't really compare them though, the LAAT is a gunship with blasters, missiles and four beam weapons. The Pelican is a big lumbering dropship. Â How about Captain Keyes vs Commander Cody Scorpion vs AT-TE Banshee vs Droid Starfighter Pillar of Autumn vs Venator Class Star Destroyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taclled Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 All of them except the pillar one, which i dont know much about, will have the Starwars side winning since they have particle and projectile shielding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I frankly don't give a crap about the ships, but I would like to ask how you know how many hits an imaginary ship from an imaginary universe can take from another imaginary ship in another imaginary universe? Â And BTW, about the whole "backup" thing, Spartans have never needed backup anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niner_777 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Captain Keys vs Commander Cody in ground combat, no doubt, Cody would win. Â However, Cody probably isn't as good at maneuvering ships, which is Keys' area of expertise. Â The last question was actually a very good one, IMO.

Imaginary units fighting against imaginary units in an imaginary world...  and spartans DO need back up, why the **** would they need a marine corp military force if spartans can just clean everything up ala level two of Halo 2. and a lone spartan can do what? They cant even breach doors for christ's sakes. The arbiter is way better than masterchief, and master chief being the best spartan, that only means spartans arent as good.  The droid starfighter versus banshee thing is dependant on the pilot. Banshees can get raped with missiles and everything adn still make it, it all depends on the pilot's shield and stamina. If the pilot dies then the plane gets destroyed, if the pilot flys away and recharges his shields, the banshee is practically invincible. Without a pilot a rocket can do it in, droid star fighters require about three or four det charges to destroy (BF2 ruling)... Same with the Scorpian, but again, you can smash the panel out and throw a grenade in there, and im pretty sure you cant do that with an AT TE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niner_777 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 An ATTE has way more and bigger guns than a Scorpion. It also has more armor if I've heard right. Somewhere I heard that the Scorpions are rather fragile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Frost Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I concur, but Spartan required the marines for basic intel on the enemy, and to send him venicles on the field. Besides, Spartan has a cool chic in his head:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
