How come in the first lv the marines can drive the worthog,tank. If they can drive in the movie then why cant they drive in any other lv. It makes me wonder if the cant drive. I think bungie should of look at the movie before they made you driver on every lv of the game. the only marine that drives is echo4 19 the pelican driver.

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

I'm not sure what you mean. I can';t remember Marines ever driving anything in a cinematic. The Marines in Halo don't drive any of the human vehicles, only you do. Yet, a Marine can and will usually get into a Ghost and drive that, following you around, but be warned they like to run over many things, you included.

He means in the opening cinematic at the beginning of the game. If you watch it all you'll see some guys driving warthogs to a group of Marines (controlled by Sgt. Johnson). Also you see some Marines direct some people driving Scorpions.

Fact is, that is cinematic, the AI on Halo isn't good enough to make Marines good drivers. Putting them in the driver seat would be wrong (with the current AI anyway). Marines would make you sit in the side seats while some cowardly Marine blasts away at a single Grunt. You have to drive as marines follow your lead, not the other way round. I like driving because you have control on the situation, the rest just fire off the sides.

Marines in Ghosts suck really bad. They run you over if you get too close, they charge at a Wraith tank, trigger happy and hover quite politely infront of the cannon so the Elite can have a free shot.

They get in the ghost on the Assualt on the Control Room-me, I just like blasting them with the Scorpion's Cannon.
