Subject: Why do the marines die easily in the level Alpha Site?

I was playing through some campaign on Alpha site and when I got to the other side where you defend the area until you fall back, and I notice a marine dies in six plasma shots by a grunt whats up with that.

Perhaps he was already close to death?

That part is fun. Hard on Legendary though... really. Well, not so much 'hard' as it is depending on timing. Gotta know when to ditch the turret. Eh.

why does that matter? You an ODST comrad taht never dies

flight:throwing yourself at the ground and missing.

i dont see the point of this thread as the fact that i use my marines as nothing more than cannon fodder and entertainment i dont see why anyone cares when one dies

I noticed this too. The marines here die so very quickly it's unbelieveable. Seriously just a few plasma pistol shots does it every time.

its all fun and games until someone gets hurt--Then its more fun and games!

"you're a dumb ass liberal robot" -Paul Marv (to me)

I ignore them, as they frequently get me killed when grunts throw grenades and the marines get stuck in my way so I die.

Yeah, I've noticed this too. Then again, marines were never really a use for me in any Halo game.

It seems like some Marines are almost "scheduled" to die at certain points. This is evident by Buck's mission. Every Marine you meet will die almost at the exact same point every time you play on that level.

none

This might be built into the game( as in this will always happen.).

teh soap has hit teh fan

halo is anything but real, so i wonder why they made the coms act as if the shots were real -_- probably one of the above answers

There are those who said this day would never come. What have they to say now?

He is a noob.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Marines always suck and there's always like 3 of them so they make no difference. It's the same in all the Halo games.

  • 03.06.2010 12:21 PM PDT

the marines/police force die to easily in halo...thats what makes it fun is the fact that you really cant depend on anyone else but yourself...and by the time you need help everyone else had already died 20 minutes ago

Do you know the muffin man???
(I don't)

It makes me sad when marines die. I always try to save them but they are so, "squishy".

I guess the Police-Marines die quicker then regular Marines.
And about that "scheduled death" idea, I think thats true, but only for some marines.

I'm Aeromaster56 and I approve this message.

They're policemen not marines.

I noticed this timed death sequences for the marines as well. On Alpha Site once you recieve order to fall back to the building the marines seem to die rapidly after that point.
