It brings me joy to have started a thread with so much hatred and confusion.
The gods shall bless me for this victory.

**Lorgar's_Blessed**

It's not a forum, it's a thread.

**Corsair**

Maybe the title of this thread should have been "Who would win, a Spartan (Halo) or an Imperial Guardsman armed with a toothbrush and underpants?"

**Munch Munch!**

Who cares. Lordrevege nice trolling!

Um..this has already been proven that Bruce Lee wins. Way of the Dragon. Watch it

Sorry if I'm late to the party, but isn't a standard bolter round basically a .75 cal HE round? So a grenade moving at the speed of bullet? I don't think Spartan armor could withstand that beyond a round or two. 3 brute shot rounds empty a shield. 2 brute shot rounds kill an unarmored spartan. 5 rounds. Whats the rate of fire and accuracy of bolters? What distance are we shooting at? Whats the spread at said distance? Weather conditions? Flat, symmetrical vaccum combat area? We need more variables to establish a sure winner.

That was the point of the statement, Red

Somebody isn't a fan of the Master Chief

The thing about warhammer 40k is you dont compare it to others because its set up to bigger, harder, tougher, stronger then the next guy, its just what the games all about. I wouldn't compare it to other games cause warhammer 40k is already set up to be over the top and crazier then anything out there.

**lordrevege**

In all honesty, the reason I started this thread was to show my friend that SM are indeed better than spartans.

He was dead set that a spartan could kill a SM in an even fight, after he read the Halo books,
But I have read the halo fluff and wayyyy more 40k fluff, and I was pretty sure spartans would be pwnd.

In all seriousness you cant persuade a fanboy any way. Their dead set in there beliefs and stories, but i think arguing for games that have nothing to do with each other never ends well. keep it in the same universe.

Yes, my pal was rather implacable on this subject.

True that.
Although I do enjoy Dakka Dakka, I will admit that they are biased in their opinion, as would a Halo forum.

We've all seen Red vs Blue... the challenges a Spartan would face in the midst of battle in his own box canyon are nothing compared to the horrors an Astartes has to face between waking up on a morning and taking his first pee.

Yes. Yes.

**ph34r**

The thing about 40k is, the only universes that it loses to are ones that are on an even more ridiculous scale, post-scarcity or post-singularity factions such as The Culture, or judging from my limited knowledge of AT-43 the Therians (they have multiple galaxies/universes, right? I know for sure they have Dyson Spheres).

**Emperors Faithful**

AAAAAAAARGH!!! How the feth can this thread go on for 8 pages?!? Again!

**Lorgar's_Blessed**

Anyone else wanna push it to 9 before the Modquisition sees the topic is over?

No. You should be ashamed of yourself. This thread has a high likey-hood of becoming off topic

That's because the children were the only active participants on the Spartan side.

I've gotten 2 threads locked today. Let's see if I can make it 3...

A Space Marine would destroy a Spartan. Period.

But a Spartan can make whoopy. Winner - Spartan.

Cuz I doesn't matter who the alpha male is if he has been neutered.

Cool story bro

If I was ten my sentences would not be formed with the strength of the grandest of writers, would they? Shakespeare would be jealous! /itrollu.jpg

I understand the critique on fanbois from one game slagging another game or their heor being undefeatable etc

However I like both games and play Halo online, have read some of the fluff and enjoy the back story of the HaloUniverse
but I also play 40K, have read alot of the fluff and enjoy the multitude of back stories for the 40kverse..

I still believe that SM would kick Spartan ass!! Into the dustbin and then use the Mjolnir armour as a throw toy for his pet tau...

So.... 9 pages eh??

Spam alert (",)

**Xca|iber**

Time to jump on the bandwagon.

Somewhat on topic: This did spark a rather lengthy debate with my friends, but we ultimately agreed that the SM would kick ass.

Yep, we kinda got that in here too (",)

SM rule!! (Except Orkz)

**spamandchips**

Marine would kick so much ass it's incomprehensible.

**DEATH89**

And if he used a plasma gun to kick everyone's arses he could in theory kick everyone's AND his own arse
