Who do you think is the better soldier, and why? I personally am leaning more towards 312. I mean they're pretty evenly balanced as far as their abilities go, of course John-117 outlived the Fall of Reach, of course only because he wasn't on the ground, but if you think about it Noble Six racked up a whopper of a body count during the month or so he participated in the Battle of Reach, which took John his entire career. I think, if Six had been given the opportunity, he could've outshined both Blue Team and Noble Team, and probably have ended up as John-117's partner in a lot of missions, but ultimately I think Noble Six achieved more than Master Chief in a shorter amount of time. I mean, of course John-117 did more, because he was alive to do so, but I ultimately believe, being as young as he was, Noble Six was a very exceptional SPARTAN, probably the best out of all of the SPARTAN programs combined, whereas John-117 was the best of the SPARTAN-II Program, or second-best when including Frederic-104 and probably tied for second-best with Kurt-051, but I could see Noble Six taking on John-117, Fred, and Kurt all at once and holding his own. He may not have their experience but he definitely outperforms them in close combat, Fred would arguably be the one he has the most issue with in close combat, I don't remember John being exceptional in close melee-style combat like Fred. --Kluutak 15:44, 16 February 2012 (EST)
