They're usually borderline retarded on the higher difficulties. If you go out of your way to save them, you're going to lose a lot more than what you gain out of it.

I usually run them over whenever I get the chance. Muhahaha!

if im playing on legendary i try saving them then i realize that they end up in me dying more often so i usually let them kill as much as they can then i mop up the rest

But they usually don't kill anything. I try to keep them alive every once in a while because they help draw enemy fire.

I love saving the marines on the storm. There are so many weapon cases you can easily equip all your marines with ar/brs or a rocket or sniper or two. What is really sweet it giving the rescued workers near the end of the level brs and watching them exact their revenge on the vile covenant.

What really annoys me though is when you go through all the trouble of saving the marines just to find that they refuse to accompany you to the next area.

i just did every thing that warpfactor 10 did and i gonna get some awsome screenshots of me with 40 workers and marines and the arbiter kicking ass but i did spend 20 min trying to get some stupid ones to follow me into the room after the scarab but it was cool to see a cluster of marines and workers taking out a cheiften

i runem over with hornets cause it sends them flying across the map plus marines stink in halo 3 everytime u take down a brutes shield and ur bout to die they just hide behind cover and scream randomly like an idiot

In the second level where youre in the base I try to keep some alive for when all the jetpack brutes come after you go up the elevator. If you give them BR's and carbines they actually clean up. Other then giving my warthog passenger laser/sniper/rockets I disregard the marines after that.

I kill them.

Multitasking is hard enough for me. Wasting my time to save some marines who will eventually be removed from the level just isn't worth it, and it puts a strain on my mental capacity.

This.

The stupidity of allied AI is enough to make me break down and berserk with rage and frustration.

Likewise for my Elite allies. Unless I give them Energy Swords, they're useless fools.

I only place trust in Arbiter and I use him as my tool of destruction. It's a shame his AI is "malfunctioning", but dumb AI are more easier to exploit and unleash upon enemies then smart AI.

Creating destiny's, sealing fates.

Sporting the Bungie day reconz

I take it as a challenge to try to keep them all alive on legendary. Although I will admit when frusterated it is a great feeling killing them off.

I Retired Gears of War 2, Sold it to buy Halo 3. And I have not had this much fun playing Video Games in a long time :)
Now that Halo Reach is out. My life has never been better.
Thanks Bungie.

I just kill them, they are really useless.

Leader of the Deadly Viper Squad

On Tsavo Highway get the troop hog full of them and arm them with Fuel Rods as you progress through the level. Pick up the grav lift so you can continue across the bridge. They'll get out, but get back in after they cross.

It makes the ultimate Phantom take-down team. I've done it and had multiple Phantom carcasses pile up, messy.
