I find that marines in halo 2 are sort of useless. Just wondering what everyone else thinks.
Hey.
My first post.
I think the marines in Halo 2 are rather useful if, that is, you equip them appropriately from the combat ahead. Equipping them with a Beam Rifle or Sniper Rifle make them highly dangerous. A good tactic: Give a marine a Rocket Launcher whilst he/she is in the passenger seat of a 'Hog or Spectre -- perfect for anti-vehicle purposes.
Also, some skulls like Angry, Cowbell and Catch, greatly improves their performance. So does playing on harder game difficulties.
Your allies are as good as you make them, and, it also depends on how well you support them. It's all about methodical balance.

He speaks the truth. The cowbell skull he refers to is the unnamed skull on the armory, in case anybody is wondering.
I tend to play on easy for exploring, and I always go to the previous checkpoint if ONE ally dies. That's how much I care.
