Who is Stronger Spartan II Or Spartan IV

Probably the lls

THE SPARTAN II'S ARE DEFINETLY STRONGER PHYSICALLY AND THEY WOULD BEAT THE SPARTAN IV'S IN A FIGHT. In Halo 4 the master chief can easily take down the Spartan IV's if your one of those guys that likes to turn on his fellow UNSC soldiers.

Out of armor, the Spartan IIs would destroy the Spartan IVs. In their own Gen's armor, the IIs would have a slight edge. If they were both in Gen2 Spartan IV armor, IIs would crush them. The fact is, Spartan IVs aren't really Spartans. They are elite soldiers given augmentations and advanced equipment. But they don't have the skillset or more importantly, the mindset of a Spartan. They can't be physically and mentally pushed as far. The childhood training and indoctrination made them SPARTANS. Unyielding. Relentless. Fighting until the moment of death. Grim determination. Inhuman. Spartan IVs are still human, and don't have the same mental elasticity. For SIIs, everything was in the context of combat. They see things without the context of humanity, granting them complete control of self, mental and physical. SIVs have not been through that crucible that lets them push beyond the limits of their own mortality.

Simply put, Spartan IV's make up for pure brute force and experience with quick thinking and resourcefulness. However, without armor, or even with armor, Spartan II's would stomp the IV's out, this is mostly due to their augmentations, now the IV's may have a couple of augmentations here and there, but they're no where near the level of the II's. The first Spartan II batch lost over 35% of its candidates to these augmentations, and with others becoming crippled. Then there's the training that you have to take into account, the IV's were previous ODST's with good training, but compared to the II's training it was nothing. The II's were kidnapped at the ages of six and trained for years through grueling training. And the fact that the II's received their augmentations during their puberty years, would be a reason why they are so extremely strong, fast, tall etc. IV's were augmented when they were older, when they were more developed. The II's are superhuman, the IV's somewhat superhuman. In a 1v1 combat scenario, a II would wipe the floor with the IV. The IV's are the discount II's and III's sadly. They were created to increase the number of Spartans. They are basically quantity over quality. If you disagree or agree tell me what you think.

I'm not sure why recent posts are claiming that a Spartan-II is stronger than a Spartan-IV when we've had a demonstrable example of that not being the case, on top of numerous statements saying that a Spartan-IV is equal in capabilities to a Spartan-II in armor.

Spartan-IVs wouldn't be floored nor destroyed by a Spartan-II in regards to strength and speed. Other factors can be debated, however.

Sin duda alguna de los Spartans ll (Mas altos, mas fuertes, mas rapidos, mejor entrenados)

Spartan-IIs are certainly stronger when it comes to raw, physical strength. Despite technically being less powerful than a II; when paired with their gen-2 armor, S-IVs are about as strong as a S-II in gen-1, but a S-II in gen-2 will be considerably stronger. However, what Spartan-IVs lack in strength they make up for with resourcefulness and grit, traits that the Master Chief himself found admirable.

As time has gone on, Frank O'Conner's statement in 2012 of how a "Spartan-IV in GEN2 is equal to a Spartan-II in GEN1" seems to have been clarified, or altered to mean that a Spartan-IV is equal to a Spartan-II in Mjolnir armor, irrelevant of what armor is being used.

Halo 5 demonstrates a Spartan-IV and Spartan-II in combat without a clear-cut strength advantage. Also, The Official Spartan Field Manual, page 178 states,

"Although a flexible platform, some in the Spartan branch are dissatisfied with its minimal performance improvement over decades-old GEN1 systems."It doesn't appear as though the Spartan-IIs get a strength boost when outfitted with newer GEN2.

The twos are definitely stronger and better trained. However Installation 00 states that the Gen 2 mjolnir actually nerfs the spartan 2s abilities. So in Gen2 they are the same in strength but not in skill. Spartan 2s in gen 1 or no armor are stronger. Gen 2 has artificial muscle and has a limit, however gen 1 multiplies the users strength. Since the 2s are augmented better they are stronger naturally. So in Gen 1, Chief would take out locke in a single swing.

Spartan IIs
The IVs are nothing without their armor

We all saw what happened with Thorne vs Gek.
