FUCK YOUR SWORDS
Guns are fucking coward's weapons as far as warriors are concerned, if you ask me. A real warrior has the balls to meet his enemy face to face and look him in the eye before killing him; using either bare hands or a melee weapon. Anything else is for cowards and weaklings.
/my opinion
well, you have to consider that the enemy too has guns, so you need balls of steel to peek around a corner and shoot the bastards.

OT: I'm thinking ninja or something else that's quick, because IF I for some reason learned o fight, I want the one that doesn't rely too much on steel bodysuits.
also daggers rule.

Spartans. They're the only ones who actually live up to the hype.

Oh, Vikings are cool too, but... not as cool as Spartans.
a single spartan wasn't that much of a threat to any of the warriors in the poll. It was the Phalanx that made them so effective.

I chose the Samurai because if he yells, you can't understand him but you figure he is saying something really badass.

If they eugenically selected the cream of the crop for soldiers today, and trained them from an early age, like the Nazis did with the SS, than they would win hands down.

Otherwise I had to choose Spartans. Vikings are a close second but they were more raiders than warriors, by which I mean they were just beefy farmers who couldnt grow anything in the frosty north so they decided to pillage what they needed and take it back. Vikings had the spirit but not the training.

Mongolians lead by Genghis Khan obviously. They conquered half the world, now that's gotta be badass.

P.S also obviously Sangheili but they are just godly by comparison to any human warriors.
Have at thee!

Finally a worthy opponent has arisen from the evolutionary insult that is humanity, LET US BATTLE!!!

The point of modern soldiers is that they don't let people wielding swords get within a foot of them. That's like saying archers aren't deadly because if they were in melee they couldn't kill a melee specialist. Actually, that pretty much is exactly what you're saying. Put a samurai 20 feet away from a modern solder, who's gonna win then? See, the samurai doesn't just spawn on top of the soldier, he has to get to him first. Also there's too many variables involved. The soldier could have a pistol out pointed at the samurai, in which case he'd probably win. He could dodge the samurai's attack, and shoot the samurai.

Seriously, if you're arguing that a samurai is more deadly than a modern day soldier... I don't even know what to say. Put 20 samurai on a battlefield facing off against 20 modern day soldiers, and see who wins.

Yes the point I was making was each warrior has certain skills which give them an advantage. But what about the samuris war tactics in general?
Of course the modern soldier has the upper hand and will likely win. with the 20v20 is trhe samuri going to be fool enough to face off against guns by running waving their weapons across flat open ground? No. They would be more likely to use ambush tactics and other forms of traps. Yes they'll likely loose, but that don't mean that all 20 modern soliers willl still be left standing at the end of it.

Roman Legionaries anybody? They were pretty bad ass.


Modern warriors are of course the most deadly...and pretty damn cool



To those who have said/will say that warrors armed with swords are braver/more honourable than modern day soldiers:

Shooting someone 200 meters away instead of stabbing them face-to face may seem cowardly, but your forgetting a lot about what modern combat consists of. For one, the enemies are shooting back at you- sometimes not just with bullets, but with artillery rounds or maybe even bombs from aircraft. This is an era where soldiers can be hunted by an unmanned aircraft miles above their heads, face a 60 ton battle tank or heavy machine gun nests.

Not only that but in the modern era, most armies are full-time proffesionals, in older armies the bulk of the forces were civilians pressed into service- modern soldiers are, in general, better trained than their older counterparts. Really, i suppose it is difficult to compare old and new styles of combat because the dangers that soldiers/warriors face are different. But anyway, the bottom line is that modern soldiers do not deserve any less credit than older warriors because they do not kill the enemy face-to-face.

I voted SPARTANS because I'm talking about the super-soldiers in the Halo universe.

They have had extreme military training every day since 5 years old, surgical augmentations that give them the strength to lift over 3 times their 120 kg weight, have practically unbreakable bones, perfect night vision and 20 millisecond reaction time.

Add to this their MJOLNIR power armour, which greatly enhances strength and speed to allow them to run over 100km/hour, have reaction times of under a millisecond, jump over 3 metres high, and lift many tons. Expert tacticians, and practically telepathic in regards to their teamwork.

I'd say they're pretty deadly.

P.S. Yes I have read The Fall of Reach a few too many times, I just love it.

Or the 20 modern soldiers could ambush the samurai and wipe them out in seconds. You're making up scenarios to give the samurai an advantage, and even then they lose almost every time, unless the scenario is so impossible to survive that the samurai has no choice but to win.

There really is no argument when it comes down to which warrior is deadlier, which is what this argument is about. The samurai are highly skilled warriors, yes, but a modern soldier can kill from long ranges with deadly accuracy. Bullets are for the most part undodgeable.

OT: Definetly a viking. They're so awesome, that they don't drink with cups. They drink with the heads of their fallen enemies.

I'm sorry but put a modern soldier, or better still an armoured vehicle, against any of the others and they will be so buggered before they get within 500 meters
