@darthvenar501st:
I love how nobody here has attempted to analyze the power of SW blasters. Blaster weapons fire a high energized ion beam, which is even more powerful and efficient than superheated plasma(says so on blasters article on wookieepedia).
Who's plasma??? If its hotter than star wars plasma, then that stuff must be pretty dang weak.
Already said that wookieepedia stated that it is SUPERHEATED PLASMA, EXACTLY what the covenant uses. it doesn't matter whether or not star wars uses it, blaster weaponry is still more powerful.
As covie plasma weapons seem to do the trick in taking down spartan shields easy, blasters will do the job even better.
No not really, their about the same.
Again, wookieepedia states that blasters are far superior to superheated plasma weapons, so no they're not the same.
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! Also stated on wookieepedia, blaster shots create small violent explosions when they come into contact with any unshielded surface!
Same with covenant plasma, but it does it better.
While i await you providing me evidence of covoie plasam pistols causing explosions from one mere shot to the wall, here is some evidence that SW blasters do what wookieepedia said. 1, watch the Tantive IV boarding scene in A New Hope. I will point out if not already known that the stormtroopers BJORKED up the rebels in that scene, it's just hat the plot armor on main characters prevents them from hitting main characters. Now back to blasters, just under 10-ish seconds of a firefight in that hallway, the entire place is BILLOWING with smoke from all the blasters hitting the bulkeads. 2, also in the same movie, right when the millennium falcon is about to take off from mos eisley, the small exchange of fire between the sandtroopers and han solo, you can even see han solo's blaster PISTOL tearing off large chunks of the hangar!
I will also point out that while Spartans are "bred for war", abducted at 7 and trained to be the deadliest of soldiers, clone troopers were LITERALLY bred for war! And they were trained from BIRTH! Also pointing out that the amount of clone troopers created over the course of the clone wars outnumbers the total amount of Spartans made(are we only doing IIs? Or all 4 kinds?)
Spartans have the same training time for clone troopers, thus making this moot. Also spartans were bred for war, because they took the smartest, strongest, etc kids they could find and put them into situations that were very impossible. On top of that the spartans went under a certain program that boost's all stats unlike the clone trooper counter parts, to where they will indeed be able to react better than a normal human. In fact it's even stated in a book that no human could ever defeat them per say 1 on 1. Aside from that they also wearing armor with improved shields and so on, once more if they were equipped with covenant gear they could win as their shields would take hits and prolly their armor where as the clone's armor could take hits, but due to the it not having a shield regen over like a period of 5 secs they'd over time lose the edge in about the same armor stats and so on.
For this, spartans DO NOT, and i mean. DO NOT, have the same amount of time of training. Spartans- taken at age 7 and start training. Clones- born and being training. Not to mention that in AOTC, it is said that the clones' growth acceleration is increased so they can make mature clones in HALF THE TIME, thus making them train faster and longer than spartans. Yeah, so augmentations, big deal. The clones are not even of a mere human. They were cloned from THE Jango Fett, the greatest bounty hunter in the galaxy, a TRUE MANDALORIAN, amd a deadly warrior capable of taking down numerous force users. k, so in the halo universe, where humans have stuck to using petty 7.62 bullets for 5 centuries, regular humans can't beat spartans. Now if u were even listening to my analysis of SW blaster weaponry, that alone will be able to turn the tables on the spartans. Heck even han solo, if he was quick enough(which he is. HAN SHOT FIRST lol) could take down a spartan from a good amount of range with his blaster pistol in a few shots. I admit MJOLNIR armor is very strong and advanced, and with shields. But since it has been shown that spartan shields don't fare well after a little bit of hits from plasma weapons, I guarantee you they will not do any better when against blasters. It hasn't been really stated that spartans would have covie gear so lets put that thought away. Clone armor is designed to protect against projectiles such as bullets(or as SW calls them, slugs), so unless the spartans have their OP tank busting sniper rifles, bullets will do no more than put a few scratches or dents on the armor.
I'm not gonna break this down any more because you literally are basing this off of a site that not even the famous wolfrazer would trust, and Ik he could give us a great run down and display to us how good their armor and weapons with actual quotes and no someone else's words. With that said Spartans prolly lose due to the fact that they'd been given standard UNSC weapons because the op didnt say and we have to fall back on standard gear. Otherwise it's a "could go either way" thread, most likely.
What? You think just cuz wookieepedia is a wiki, means it is unreliable? They DO show sources and what they derived the information from. So i think you and this wolfrazer guy, for whatever he's "famous" for, should not judge a book by its cover, and go to the damn site first before you start assuming things and pulling stats from your behinds!
