My pet frog once attempted suicide but I saved it.

Wars marines actually killed stuff.

ODSTs do the same thing, but after jumping off a spaceship.


ODSTs win.

The Halo 2 marines are unemotive and sarcastic, and the Halo 3 marines, while an improvement, are nothing special. The Reach marines wander about blindly, drive off of cliffs or over the player, and absolutely refuse to shoot at anything.


The Halo CE marines, though, wow. Where to get started? They're played-straight emotive and animated brilliantly. They're not always successful in combat, but you never doubt for a moment that they're trying. And they wear what appears to be RUSTY METAL PLATES for armor. YES! They feel far more organic, alive, and awesome than the marines elsewhere.

Agreed. If we were storming the beach on Silent Cartographer with marines from 2+, it would end with either them all dying, or just letting you do all the work because they're too useless. The only thing really bad about the Halo CE marines is that they couldn't drive, but marines from the other games didn't do a great job when granted the ability.

The only problem with them was the fact that I seemed to be a splatter magnet for one if it ever got it's hands on a Ghost. When I play Assault on the Control Room, and a marine jumps in a Ghost, I just go ahead and blow him up, as I know he will be running me over at some point.

Halo CE marines were quite nice.

Halo: Reach marines were good, not the useless army soldiers, the marines on the last level. They saved me a couple times on my legendary run.

Edit: damn lag, made me double post

Am I the only one whose had combat success with a Reach Marine?

Three of them killed an Elite Ultra by themselves on Heroic.

But the driving does suck...more then the other games.

Oh, I'll not deny that their extremely high combat stats makes them effective fighters when they actually succeed in engaging an enemy. It just doesn't make them BA, because they aren't behaving in a particularly BA way.

In HCE when you head up a beach, the marines get dropped in a hot LZ and charge elites head-on.

In Reach when you head up a beach, half the army personell walk about on the lower area aimlessly, ignoring fights that are taking place mere yards away. Seriously, watch what happens in the Beachhead area of Exodus next time you play. Most of the army guys are acting like zombies that don't know where any brains are.

All spartans, except the P.A.B. ones in Reach (minus noble 6 and maybe Jorge).

What a waste....

I know! I hated that level SO MUCH on Legendary.

At one point, my shields were down, and a Marine and a Skirmisher were near me. I emptied a clip into the Skirmisher, and was killed as the Marine slowly walked away, and then threw a grenade into the water a few seconds later.

Well #1 it depends on the spartan
#2 ODSTs FTW

I'm an Anarchist. I don't need a government to be a good person, but I'm glad it's here because some of you clearly do.

Halo 2 ODST's.

I remember the first time I saw them, I was like "Damn, these guys look bad ass."

Then they proceeded to get decimated by buggers.

  • 11.28.2010 9:45 PM PDT

spartins decimate everything!

Halo CE marines, though my favourite, are the least effective allies in any Halo games. Fixed amount of health, almost always armed with useless ARs, and questionable tactics (throwing grenades at Wraith energy balls). Find a CE marine with a PR or a Sniper though and its a different story, those ones are definitely BA.

Halo 2 and 3 Marines are much more useful when armed with the correct weapons (though they often kill every other marine with a RL or Fuel Rod). Reach Soldiers are kinda useful but ultimately we never fight alongside enough of them, or get the chance to group together an army of Soldiers like CE or 2 or 3.

The best allies to have are either Elites in 2 or 3, or ODSTs in Halo 3 or Reach where their fighting capability, range and accuracy are much much higher.

I really do like the CE Marines though. Gathering 11 of them together on AotCR or cheating to get 10 of them on TaR is great as Assault Rifles in great numbers mow down absolutely everything. It's great seeing 5 CE Marines knocking the hell out of an Elite with a hail of fire.

ha, I actually made a post like this. I like the Halo 2 marines, and then the halo ce, and then the Halo 3 ones, in that order.

I got these cheeseburgers man....

ODST!

  • 12.21.2010 10:44 PM PDT

The Reach Marines in my opinion are the most BA.

The ODSTs sucked, just got killed. The Army soldiers about the same, although they do occasionally lob grenades in the correct direction.


Why Reach marines you say? Well Who in their right mind boards a covenant corvette willingly who isn't a Spartan? :P
Seriously though, they never seem to back down or retreat. Ever. They just continuously shoot at times when even I'm running away. Difference is they survive and I get killed. =D

Halo 2/3 marines and ODSTs were alright, they did draw fire although they never seemed to kill much or do anmything spectacular.

CE, I've not played for so long, I can't really comment. It shall be my task for the day!
