halo CE's marines are WAAAYYY better as for i can see they acctually respect you and dont drive you in circles. plus they are great fighting on their own.

In CE the only Marines worth a darn were snipers and chaingunners. All others died way too fas for my liking. They alos liked to frag themselves, each other and Master Chief in that order.
They never drove in circles......because they never drove.

Well, the marines aren't supposed to help you too much. If you got a sniper in your vehicle in CE, you were basically unstoppable.

CE marines were terrible at everything they ran you over when they were in ghosts and they fraged themselves

they weren't worth keeping alive..

Unless you're playing Normal-Legendary. In which case, they are great for covering fire and sniping.

Your 'beliefs' mean less than dick to me.

the marines have been enormously retarded in every game. useful as decoys maybe but that's it.

Eh, in Halo's 2 through ODST, they're effective if you contrivishly give them heavy weapons.


In Halo 1 they can be very effective if you keep pace with them and support what they're doing; if you manage to get 5 or so marines onto the hills around the grav lift bottom in T&R, for example, that whole battle becomes a breeze.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

All of the marines in every Halo game are unreliable.
