Has any here ever played Legendary (Pillar or Autumn through the Maw) and saved every single marine? Even playing co-operative I find this an impossible task.

Wow! And such a thrilling and meaningful life it must be. Have lots of spare time to troll message boards for people to mock, do you? Why not go upstairs and ask mom for an advance on next week's allowance, then you can get some rubber cement to fix your date and stop trolling.

No, it is impossible to do that on 343GS, since Marines die almost immediately from the Flood.

Someone set up us the bomb
on XBL i'm Gangsta Assasin

i've done it on heroic in every level but 343 gs. can't do it on legendary though- in that room in the pillar of autumn where theres 2 levels, the marines start dying before you can do anything about it.

If Marines die, I only ever revert to saved when:
* A checkpoint wasn't too far back
* He died by some stupid mistake
* I want him to be around later in the level.

I agree, it's impossible to save all of the marines, even on heroic, and I'm the king of trying to save marines. I won't even finish the second level untill every last one has been saved.

On the second level (Halo) I like to tag an unlucky Marine with a Plasma Grenade. Thing is, he thinks he's safe in the Pelican, I tag him and he jumps out just in time to blow up in mid-air.

On teh level Halo I like to get all teh marines at the end in the pelican and then pull up the hog, get onto the hood and then snipe through all the marines heads and then go to the other side and do it again.
