The marines are horrible shots, while the Grunts are merely average. The Grunts have better weapons, though (not the crappy AR), and their Needlers home in on their targets, thereby negating the need to aim.

bah

For fighting each other, the marines have the better weapons. I'll take an AR for fighting Grunts over the plasma pistol for fighting marines any day. Although marines sure to toughen up once they're fighting you. Reallyu now, they can kill me faster than blue Elites. What's up with that?!

I beg to differ, the ones with sniper rifles (particularly in a Warthog) are great shots. Don't see 'em often though.

Well, Ive seen a sniper on the ground miss an Elite for 3 full clips, but in a hog, they can't be beaten. Their accuracy seems to increase when you drive badly...

one time my bro and i were playing co-op (just 4 fun) and we decided it would b funto kill mareines (1 of about 5 times on AOTCR) so we kill the 2 marines it takes to make the others hate you're guts and for about 5 deaths the sniper marine killed me within the first second of fighting...dang that's fast

Actually marines are brave and damn good shots when they're close to dying, and sometimes in Legendary.

The Sarge on AOTCR kicks ass. I mean he gets neck shots on hunters while riding on a tank. I only hvae one problem with marines. Hold the damn trigger down once and a while! With the needler its like 1 needle every second. With the Plasma rifle, woudn't it be great if they shot in bursts?

Yeah, I noticed that too. Sgt. Johnson is one hell of a shot in AotCR when you have him in passenger of a Warthog. Can get a neck shot on a Hunter from about 300m away and some really good head shots on an Elite while I'm going full throttle across rough terrain.
