Do you mean "Where are the marines when I need back up the most?" The marine assistance disappears after the flood are released (on 343 Guilty Spark) because most of them were assimilated by the flood and thus became your enemies.

However, with the exception of a Warthog gunner or a sniper, I never found the marines to be a whole lot of help in the first place. They very much resemble the BoBs of Marathon 2. While they can do damage, I tend to use them as cannon fodder for the covenant rather than a formidable ally.

Besides, MC is a lone superior warior, he doesn't need back up from the ineffecient marines.
