With Kat and Noble 6 pulled out before the battle began, I suggest the number is decreased to 298. I think this follows the canon policy, as games are higher than books.

:Nope. According to everything we know, 300 were sent into battle. The communiques sent by Kurt suggest that he intentionally created extra Spartans and removed them from the main class, thus there were actually 302 Spartan-IIIs in the entire class, but he only handed over 300 to Ackerson.--[[File:Emblem 1.jpg|20px]][[User:Rusty-112|<span style="background:blue; font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:white;">''' Rusty '''</span>]][[User talk:Rusty-112|<span style="background:blue; font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:red;">'''- '''</span>]]UserWiki:Rusty-112|<span style="background:blue; font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:white;">'''112 '''</span>]]03:33, August 28, 2010 (UTC) | :Nope.

:It's not comparative numbers, it's proportionate.

::It works either way. Alluding to the battle this is based upon, the ancient battle is known to be a pyrrhic Persian victory. So going by your logic is shouldn't be? Because the enemy suffered a higher ratio of casualties? This battle is not a pyrrhic victory. <font color="black">Something<b>Different</b></font> 19:11, 19 April 2011 (EDT) | ::It works either way.

:I'm not saying the UNSC lost, I'm saying they won. And judging by your quote of "Their hope was that the battle would slow down the Covenant", and it did. They won. They knew what their losses could be, it didn't surprise them. It is a UNSC victory, not a pyrrhic one though. <font color="black">Something<b>Different</b></font> 22:22, 19 April 2011 (EDT) | :I'm not saying the UNSC lost, I'm saying they won.
