Why are the marines so inactive on the Silent Cartographer. I mean after the initial landings, they just sit there unless u drive a warthog up to them. Even thenthey dont even get out with you and follow. And then they just get killed. If you move all of them to guard the outside of the map room structure. they all get killed as u finish the level. Even if you hide them all inside the structure of the map room complex so they dont die, they dont een get on the pelican. Why is that? I mean it just seems so half-assed.

Common how advanced did you want the ai to be in the first one anyway. Its advanced enough for me. Like on Assualt when if they all dont fit on your vechicle they follow you on foot or on a ghost if your lucky.

They dissapear because Bungie didn't like having people defying the storyline and landing in AotCR with marines, or them disappearing mysteriously.

but that could easily be rectified by simply saying that its better for the chief to proceed ahead alone, any excuse could solve that. but the fact that the marines are useless on the whole level just comes off as more half assed.

Yeah I thought about leaving the marines behind, and it didn't seem like a good thing to do. I am a good soldier who never leaves a man behind. So I came back to the beach and shot them all so "technically" I wasn't leaving anyone behind. I don't know why I'm saying this here, but I thought you might want a laugh.

Yeah, I agree. But hopefully the AI and plot fine tuning will be even better with Halo 2.

I'm still trying my darndest to try and keep as many Marines as possible alive in the beach assault playing on legendary, if only they would slow down just a little bit...

That happens for me all the time...

The AI should be better because if you don't play co-op you really need some backup or distraction some times...
