http://www.halopedian.com/images/c/c7/UNSC_Army_variations.pn g How can you say those guys had 'barely any armor plating'?(And that's not even all the variants/army trooper appearances.)
Just a small input here; aren't the soldiers with armored boots (the armor outside their BDU's) Marines?
Supposedly based on guesses. There's really no indication other than contextual clues as to what separates a Marine from an Army Trooper in Reach. The only time Marines are verbally addressed as Marines is in the Boneyard section of the Pillar of Autumn mission, and even then those particular soldiers look like they're using the Army character model. I PM'd Vociferous about it, and even he doesn't know if there's going to officially be a line drawn as to whether or not so and so randomized model (basically everything that shows up before the troopers seen within the Ship Breaking facilities themselves) should be considered Marines or Troopers, and if all the BDUs seen in Reach are available to both branches.
The marines in Reach (bar the one group in boneyard section) appear once you enter the ship-breaking yards.
They have sealed helms, much darker armor/clothing, the base security shoulder, and all have the same pouches on the chest plate.
The ones in the Boneyard section are also Marines as they are verbally referred to as such. Whether or not there was a model error or the use of 'army' BDU models were intentional is up for debate. That issue aside, the live 'troopers' in the Boneyard section are still meant to be Marines regardless of appearance as the line is scripted.
