Subject: Marine Line: "I would have been your daddy..."

Glory to Jesus Christ

Well, this line is uncommonly said by marines in Halo: CE, and has inspired content in later Halo games, as we are well aware. It's the first part of the level "Assault on the Control Room."

I've heard people say you can only hear it said by Johnson on "Assault on the Control Room," but I heard it myself said by Stacker on "The Silent Cartographer." Have you ever heard this line said?

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

I believe it to be random on any given level with any given marine. You may here it said on AOTCR, because that level has the highest concentration of marines.

What does it even mean? What is the significance of it?

That's interesting i would like to hear that.

I always offer fair game and usually allow some "extermination" of my teammates. I think that anyone should be able to play Halo or any other game they please.

I heard a marine say " If I had fancy armor like that.." then get killed

They tend to do that when you kill a -blam!-load of enemies.


As for IWHBYD, think about this:

"I would have been your daddy...but the dog beat me over the fence".

I have also heard it quite a few times. A lot of the marine dialogue in the Halo games is random.

Of course it is. If it were scripted, the game would be much less immersive.
