The marines in Halo 1 CE I think was the best because even though they sometimes shot each other by accident, they were always dogding lasers and shooting. Also they moved in groups and shot accuratly all the time and with any weapon that they were able to use and mostly shot burst fire to keep their shots accurate. The cool thing I also think about the marines in Halo 1 is that they throw more grenades (Even though sometimes when they're about to throw it they get shot and drop it and it explodes) and they communicated alot more. Every time you were in a vehicle they were also excellent with shooting as well. Another thing too is that when they got extremely hurt they would either sprint to cover and hide for a little or they would make their last stand and charge the enemy where they would follow them head on while shooting them. Also, when they're in beserck mode, the lasers the enemy shot at them don't stall them either as the run toward them.

I personaly think the marines in Halo 1 were the best because they are fast and they worked together better. I have to edmit though, I like how in the other Halos you can switch weapons with them, they could use all the weapons (Except for the really heavy machine gun turret, plasma turret, sword and hammer) and they could drive you but usually their driving sometimes gets you kiled.

The ODSTs (Even though they are not really marines) are cool too because of, I think, their outfit and how they look similar to a Spartan even though they still moved around and communicated like the regular marines.

I think that if Bungie put those abilities that the marines have in Halo 2 and 3 and Reach and replaced the marines outfit with ODST's outfit and combined them with Halo 1's fast moving, accurate shooting marines then those would be the best marines or maybe the new ODST's.

The Marines in Halo 2 were the best. They worked together to take down elites, which was awesome.

That said the ODSTs in Halo 3 were the best of all of them. They were amazing shots, I saw one snipe a grunt out of a ghost from the front. They were godly.

Yah the ODST's were cool when they first showed up in Halo 2. I kinda wish they would just get rid of the marines in general and replace them all with ODST instead.

The only promlem with that though is that ODST's wouldn't really be considered special forces anymore...

If you are talking about Reach's army soldiers, they were ok. I you are talking about Reach's marines, they were awesome.

Army
Marines

The marines are on the level The Pillar of Autumn, and their MP helmet is the most obvious difference.

Huh! Weird! I have never seen them wear that helmet in that Marines link. Isn't that the same helmet in the multiplayer you can unlock?

The helmet is a little different but the only differences I see is the helmets in the Army link have those side cameras and the Marines link helmets just have the visors.

You know it does nothing. It did nothing in Halo 3-1, you just did not notice it. Go on Halo 3 and rapid fire at a wall and the bullets get more random. Don't try to deny it. I've shot real guns, I should know.

H2 marines, could dominate some elites.
