Subject: Reach's marines/ODSTs

Bungie, i only ask one thing for you, PLEASE MAKE THE MARINES AND ODSTS MORE INTELLIGENT! Please don't make them get themselves killed like they did all the time in Halo 2, 3 and ODST. I like working together with the marines in Halo, but i find it difficult to do so if they act like complete idiots and get themselves killed.

Oh and:
Can't wait for Reach! Its gonna f-ing rule!

Make them so they dont kill them selfs or us but dont make them good fighters. Make the other Spartans REALLY good. If two scarabs come and attack me I want a group of Spartans to take out one while me and a few others take out the other.

Halo 3 marines are stupids, they don't even know how to throw a grenade, I've been killed more times by marines than by the covenant (in heroic...)
Halo 2 marines weren't so stupid...

Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

It's kind of hard to bolster ally AI without making the game too easy. Though it would certainly be of benefit if they weren't so foolish, like the grenade example. Shoot i've been shot by rockets from marines as well, it get's old fast.

The biggest problems with the ally AI for me were:

1)They cant hit crap with power weapons. I can understand them missing with rockets when I'm slinging them around in a Warthog, but their accuracy really needs to be improved with the laser and Warthog turret.

2)They need to learn when to stop shooting a dead body. Walking up to a dead grunt and shooting it is funny, but continueing to pump dozens of rounds into an enemy they just killed when there are other living enemies around us is rediculous.

3)Target prioritization. When I'm in a Scorpion tank, and a marine is on the machine turret, they need to learn who I will most likely shoot, and who they should take care of. If there is a hunter pair coming towards us with a group of grunts, some of witch might have fuel rod guns, I am going to shoot the hunter with a main gun. I wan't them to mop up the weaker, pesky enemies for me.

Other than that, notheing really bothers me.

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. We are eternal.
All this pain is an illusion.

uhhhh...I'm replaying Halo 2 right now, and I've seen marines fire the rocket launcher I give them point blank at a wall
