the marines on the first halo look much better than the ones on the other halos.... what do you think?

I agree they looked more futuristic.

Comparing only CE and 2, I like the CE marines overall look better, with the exception of 1 thing, but not related to appearance. The addition of the ladies was a riot. The dialogue that is to be found in 2 for the marines is alot better, with the girls having some of the best lines, especially if you zoom in on areas that well, lets just say, are not gentlemanly to be zooming in at. The look of all of the AI and enemy is better in CE than in 2, for the reason I have mentioned every time a thread like this comes up........the action and the scenery are just alot more in your face and larger in CE than in 2. That to me makes for better gameplay, always feeling closer to the action.

I have to agree with that, being more in-your-face.

I personally like the Halo 3 Marines best, due only to their armor and cool glasses. The eye-screen was awesome, though.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

I thought Halo 2's Marines were pretty hot...

They were a bit more diverse I found.

ARBITER, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER!!! WORT WORT WORT.

I prefer the original Marines, just slightly over the Halo 2 Marines. Forget all of Halo 3 campaign.. it doesn't add up. Johnson isn't able to die like that but does. Johnson didn't even have any good lines or good looks in Halo 3. And then the Flood infects the Brutes in Halo 3. That's not supposed to happen either, but somehow it's okay. Yeah, whatever. Johnson though, he kicked the can in Halo 2. Halo 2 is all Johnson. I didn't like the look of female Marines in Halo 2... too many freckles. Marines in Halo 3 have lame voices, and aren't impressive with all their cloth.

Halo 2's marines are much better overall.

Halo 2. Halo 1's suffered from launch title-itis, and Halo 3's have some embarrassing graphical drawbacks, such as overly bump-mapped face textures and rectangular fingers.

The Rivers Jiggly Bah

I found the Halo 3 Marines very sexy

  • 06.17.2008 12:47 PM PDT

Just message me on live.

Halo 3's graphics make them look better. In Halo: CE they look more futuristic, though.

  • 06.18.2008 4:02 PM PDT

Because of their armor and dialogue, I prefer Halo 3's Marines.

Sometimes when I look at the moon at night, my mind embraces the thought of a love so vivid and true that I almost believe it is real. Then, due to my delusions, I am forced back into reality and begin to indulge myself in real life vices such as chocolates and German board games to get that once natural high.

I like Halo marines because they didn't betray me as much.

Combat Evolved's marines were my favourite. I thought the ones in 2 and 3 looked too realistic for the fantastic, futuristic settings of Halo.

Haha. So true.

Although they didn't have as much dialogue as the newer ones, they still had cool things to say.

And yes, that little readout thing they had on their face was cool too. I always tried to read what it said on it, even though they were only symbols, etc...

: )

Can you believe it?

Halo 3's marines looked the best especially the ODSTs.

Halo 1 Marines, they looked futuristic. I also prefer the original Marine's dialogue, there were some jokes, but most of the time they acted serious. Not like in Halo 2 and 3 where they just seem to make jokes every two minutes.

Queen is awesome.

the halo ce ones looked like the tinman but thats what made them cool xD

Graphically Halo 3, Otherwise Halo CE.

  • 07.18.2008 2:10 AM PDT

Yay, Legendary status! Thank you bungie.net!

I prefer the Halo 2 ones. The Halo 1 ones were too red, and their leg armour looked like a skirt. The Halo 2 ones looked like actual marines, and the Halo 3 ones looked all hunchback and weird.
