Ok, im 3/4 of the way through the level, and im playin co-op on legendary. Just for fun, me and my friend have been running through the whole level. We are in a yellow corridor, and all of a sudden a marine pops out around the corner and says "look, its him!" I have never seen this happen before, and the only thing i have done differently this time thorugh this level is run away, and my friend killed the marine whos friekin out ("Youll never get me!) instantyl as soon as he ran through the door, he meleed him in the head... Has this happened to anybody before having marines underground in 343 GS??!!!!!!!!

No, actually, it hasn't. On first glance I thought this post was about Mendosa up on the hill at the beginning and came on to tell you about it, thinking you were new and were told about it by a friend.

After reading what you've said I can see that you're quite the Halo player (so bored that you run through levels on co-op in legendary). I have never in my life seen or heard about this before and if everyone is the same, you may have stumbled on something new!

One Question: On finding the Marine, does he follow like the AI is programmed make him do or does he just stay defending the area?

He stays and defends the area. I have pic with a disposable camera, and im gonna post them tommorow. He just stands in the hall way, but he can fire through the wall and hit flood. Unfortunatley, a floodling got him, and me and my friend moved on. Nobody at bungie.org will listen to me, but its real cool. And yes, this must be the 10th time going throguh 343 GS.

On co-op in that level, I believe I remember seeing marines fighting against the Flood in one the open areas. I thought they were supposed to be there, so I didn't pay much attention to them.

You know, the large rooms with walkways going over them? I remember looking down and seeing marines shooting at Flood. In fact, I think I jumped down to help, but they died anyway. I'll have to play through that again. Maybe they're only in co-op mode . . .

If it was one of those yellow square hallway thingies with the glass floors, then yes I've seen a marine there.

The marine on the upper level of that square shaped corridor thing. He just stood in the spot in combat ready position, but didn't fire at anything. (this was in single player)

And yes I have pictures of it.

And he looks a lot like Mendoza. (He's got the same hat and uniform, but the face doesn't look exactly the same)

Theres two marines with shotguns, inside the facility i try to save them but theres to many flood so they die.

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."

In SP, I ran into him ONCE, playing the game dozens of times. It freaked me out when I saw him too. He didn't have armor on and wore a bandana and used a Shotgun. He was in the upper level of one of those square halls, with the glass floors. And he just stood there and defended, killed 3 or 4 Flood Warrior before I moved, I wished he woulda followed me.

Crazy, i'd like to see picks... maybe mendoza got away??? I try to save the two marines under the walkway too but even if i kill all the flood they die. Scripted maybe...

this might not be relevant, but on the silent cartographer as your heading out from underground and you meet that golden elite, he chased me out on to that step that has that great fall...you know? anyway i stood on the edge and he ran at me then ran back and laughed... and just kept running back and forth trying to scare me....he knew i was going to side-step on his attack and watch him fall to his death...this was in Co-op with my friend...anyway...i turned my back and he attacked and killed me...

sorry for wasting time.. :)

Yeah, Same thing happened to me, And I found out why tho, In one room whenever you go in you can hear Marines screaming, There being killed, if your fast and kill the flood before they kill the mairnes, whenever you walk into the next room marines are there, The most I have "saved" is 3. And I play this game ALOT, I also go through the stages on Legendary, But not co-op, I was actually alone when this happened and on Legendary difficulty.

This is about Mendoza living-I'm sort of hooked, and I got the books-in 'The Flood' Master Chief saw a combat form looking like Mendoza. . .he said,"C'mon Mendoza, they messed things up with you but the medics back at Alpha Base can help you."

Mendoza replied by almost knocking off his helmet.

So then he shot him with the shotgun. He did not live.

Captain Keyes? It doesn't show it in the game but in the book 'The Flood' again-Captain Keyes was assaulted also so the Master Chief knew he was a Flood even before Keyes.

The funny thing? Sargent A. J. Johnson survives. Saying "I'm to pretty to die!" may have helped it, but I doubt it. In 'The First Strike' Sargent Johnson is one of your last marines trying to get back to some human colony.

the two marines fighting the flood at the end of 343GS as you try and get out of the underground complex can be saved. I've managed it once by fluke and once on purpose. Well normally they jump down to the bottom, fight and then die. But once one of the marines stayed on the raised area and didnt jump down, and he lived.

It was a bit weird, i was hoping he would follow me through the rest of the level and give me back up but he wouldnt leave the room, he'd turn around and look at me but just wouldnt move.

if you want to save them the hard way then you have to wade in there and take a lot of damage.

well, I dont know bout pics today.. what happened is I dont have a digital camera, so they will be -blam!- scans of pics (from a disposable camera at that cause our camera was down at my dads shop). SO i need to get the photos, then scan them, then transfer them to my comp, and so forth. I have about 8 though, so they should show everything.
