I think that the Marines in Halo:CE are much more cooler than the ones in Halo 2 and 3, exept the ODSTs and the Pilots. They had those awesome green eye-cam recorder thingy. It was simply sweet.
What do you think of Halo:CEs marines? And the other games marines.

you are a good translator
Idiot can be a hard language to learn, but once you get it down, everything becomes so clear! The whole world will make sense to you.

Grey Camo and brown steel plates? Yes. Aliens helmets with computer eyepatch? Yes. Total disability to fight aliens? No.

The Halo CE marines, IMO, were the BoB's from Marathon. I mean exactly like them.

I like the Halo CE Marines more than the Halo 2 Marines, and about the same as Halo 3 Marines. The armor looked futuristic, and useful, since they were fighting an enemy that fires plasma, so metal made sense. Plus, the helmets with eyescreens!

It's creepy enough that people stalk Bungie via Webcams, but it's even worse how they stalk back.

I don't like the normal marines in H2... They look too normal, like nowadays marines.

I like them except for their nasty little habit of throwing grenades at me, instead of at the Covies.

But yeah, I agree with the argument that they look cooler.

98% of teenagers surround their minds with rap music, if you're part of the 2% that stayed with rock, put this in your signature.

I love how they rush on the beach( the cartographer)..

With the exception that even if your no where near them and slowing down they will dive out of the way of the Warthog.

I always thought they were kind of annoying in Halo, especially if they ever got on a ghost and ran you over. The thing I hated most was when you are trying to shoot something and they run in front of you. As far as looks go I like the ones from Halo 2 the most. Not too much detail like Halo 3 but more than Halo, plus they made the funniest comments IMO.

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

That was the best bit.

But it was also a kinda required story element for them to have them I guess.

They "looked" cool, but as far as it goes, now that replayed Halo CE for the fifth time, campaign wise, whenever I think of Halo CE marines, I always automatically hear them scream. "Friendly Fire!'

Even with plasma rifles on the level, Truth and Reconciliation, which are far more accurate than the overused assualt rifle, they never stop screaming friendly fire.

I'm not saying that the marines suck, its just they require a lot of effort to keep them alive.

ODST's FTW.

I like how much variety they had. But Halo 2 has that too. The only marines I don't really like are Halo 3's. They seem too square with their armor. The ODST's are by far the best, and the pilots, like you stated.

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

Halo 3 marines stink... they have lame voices and don't say much cool stuff.

Give me the Aussie and the Mexican for some good old alien-can-kicking fun.
