I don't know if anyone has said this yet but I'll say it anyways:
At the beginning of the war, the Marines had armor-plating over their fatigues, thus making them like impenetrable death machines. They as well were able to roll out of situations with ease despite the heavy armor and had cool target monocles on their helmets.
Later, however, seeing as the Covenant was downgrading from energy shield-protected Elites to craptacularly power armor wearing, unprotected Brutes, the UNSC decided to downgrade as well to uniforms with less armor-plating and more on fatigues with standard 21st century helmets. And despite wearing less armor-plating, they can barely roll due to the fact that the UNSC wanted to make sure the Marines were just there for canon fodder.
