Humans weapons are projectiles because the humans dont know how to make plasma weapons yet, and they cant jus steal a freakin gun for every human, plus if the marines run out of power for a plasma they dont kno how 2 put more in
Then the marine's armor helps out a whole -blam!-in bunch, cuz if u play the first 2 lvls and notice how fast the engineers r killed its cuz they dont have any armor, also the marines cant use the Master chief's armor cuz its 2 strong 4 them, if they move it pretty much kills them. Read the books.
And lastly marines are extremely helpful and good if u kno how 2 use em right on lvls of difficulty higher then normal. Hell I've had marines with assault rifles take on elites by themselves and win. U jus need 2 kno how 2 use em.
First off, I did read the books, multiple times, in fact. Plasma is even worse for the marines in the books, if you read the books. (which I do not believe you have done) If they get hit with one shot from a shade, they get disintegrated. (Of course, since you are the self-proclaimed master who knows all about Halo, you already knew that.) The balistics armor does help them, but just not enough for practical use. they die way too easily.
Oh, and how the hell are you supposed to "use them right" in levels higher than normal. You must be confused. Since you can only beat the game when you play it on easy, you must think that easy is heroic or legendary, because they can only kill elites in easy. Elites are just a small step down from Spartans, and a marine sure as hell won't kill a spartan, so it wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of surviving a one on one encounter. If the elite was unconscious without armor or weapons, tied down, and the marine had any weapon at his disposal, he would still find a way to die. (Maybe he'd throw a grenade at his own feet or something)
Oh, and there are so many grunts, the humans can have 3 weapons to each of them and still have extras left over from dead grunts, so shut up about this "There isn't enough weapons for the marines" crap. They don't need to refuel the plasma weapons because if it runs out, you can simply pick up another one.
I wasn't suggesting the marines wear Mjolnir armor, I just said they should wear something more effective against plasma.
Anyhow, you should know what you are talking about before you totally shoot someone's ideas down. Grow a brain, or something!
