These Games Are Entirely Different, However, The Spartans Have MJOLNIR (Pronounced "Mull-ner) 5 Armour. The "Call of Duty Guys" Have The Newest Body armour. Not The Best Just The Newest. The Spartans Have Warthogs. CoD has Humvees. Halo Has Rechargeable Shields. CoD Has Riot Shields. Halo Has "Swaks" CoD Has "Knife!" The two games are hard to compare, but from my point of view, Halo And Its Spartans Win.

That inverted V symbol is the Greek letter L, being the first letter of the name of the Spartan territory of Lacedaemonia.Early Greek shields had various patterns on them, but then began to adopt the letter of their city to avoid killing their own by mistake in battle. There is a story of an action in Corinth in the early 4th Century in which some passing Spartans who were unarmed picked up some shields of warriors from Sikyon, which had an S on them, to oppose a sally by Corinthians. The latter, being Dorians like the Spartans, thinking them mere 'only Achaeans', ran right through them, rather than thinking twice if they had known who they were picking on.
