I know the voices in my head are not real, but they have some great ideas.

I prefer the look of the original Halo marines. They just looked like tougher blokes, i liked the eye peice that most of them had on their head gear, looked cool to me. I dont mind the new marines but they look too........new, too green, they dont look tough enough.

The marines from Halo 1 looked just like the marines from Aliens. Armor, eye piece, and all. They were badass unlike the new marines. Maybe the marines in Halo 1 were Elite Marines. And after months of combat against the Covies they're all wiped out. Leaving Earth with these fresh marines from Boot Camp.

New marines kinda remind me of the T.A.

The weekend warriors, the last line of defence against a stronger army.

If they had better AI i would say that Halo2 marines looked tougher, but its hard to say they don't with that cool new armor.

The new ones don't really help they just die on legendary, but in halo 1 the actually killed guys rather than pumping friendly fire rounds into you

Halo 2 marines. You got to see the ODSTs in action. Plus, if you kept them alive, the marines talked 10 times as much smack as in Halo CE.
If you read the books, all the Marines on the Pillar Of Autumn were referred to as ODSTs.
The Pillar was an old ship retrofitted with the latest technology to carry the Spartans on their most difficult mission: board a Covenant flagship and capture a Prophet alive. They stocked it with a crack command crew, and the toughest marines around-the ODSTs. But the Covy assault on Reach scrubbed the mission. Maybe the Halo 2 marines are just regular marines-it'd be the ODSTs that get all the cool gadgets.

gah, it's like jackie chan.

First he was all badass, and now he's all doughey.

I liked the halo 1 marines, because they got the job done and looked cool. Grey with metal plating, and a green eye patch.

I actually HATE the halo 2 marines. Not only do they look like crap imo, but their celebrity voices are just stupid, and so are their lines. It seems that everyone in halo 2 is a comedian. I killed halo 1 marines for fun, but i kill halo 2 marines because I CANT PUT UP WITH THEIR STUPID LINES...

I love the old marines, the H2 ones SUCK at driving. Yea i know, "But, the first marines didn't even drive during the game", that's true, but that may be because they respected you and let you drive instead.

Also, those little green things on the helmet are actually cameras recording from the marine's point of view, as seen in the first Halo.

You know if you go up to a car and hit "X" at any time, the marines jump out...

I think if Bungie combined the two we'd have the coolest looking marines ever.

Eh, both of their armor types look good to me. I mean whatever keeps them from dieing right? But if I had to choose, I would go with Halo 2 since well in uh a simple way to explain, looks cooler lol.
