I have mixed feelings on them. When you have a sniper and a gunner on Halo, you are invincible. But on levels with no vehicles, they throw grenades and more often that not, the Covenant shoot them and the marine drops the grenade at your feet. They also shoot each other. In Halo 2, the marines and ODST are supposed to be really helpful and I'm glad Bungie is reworking their AI.

They like to shoot at me with the warthog gun, throw grenades at me, and lead me into ambushes because I always feel the need to keep them alive and protect them. I never kill them, 'cos that sucks, but only the snipers are really helpful on most missions.

The only time I experience Death by Marine is when the AI screws up and they get in a ghost on AotCR. I hardly ever get blown up by one of their grenades: that's why they say "Fire in the hole!" I think they're helpful most of the time, and it's just so cool to charge forward with them into battle. The game is much more fun because of them.

I really like black sarge. The marines are good sometimes, like sniper marines, and sometimes assault rifle amrines are good to. I hope to have flamethowers in halo2.
A marine hidden amongst the ranks, when the brutes charge, a firey blaze gets them.

Haha! That's what I always called him. His name is Johnson. Stacker is the white sarge.

It's very complicated, but it's explained in First Strike, you can order it from Amazon.com.

The Legendary ending wasn't the real ending. It was just a funny thing thrown in if you beat it on the highest difficulty level. Sarge is, in fact, on a Pelican when Halo blows.

The only marines I find that are helpful at all are the ones that hold a sniper rifle.

  • 04.16.2004 7:12 AM PDT

Marines are helpful, until they are incinerated by plasma fire. They can do absolutely nothing on Legendary.
