Yo those blood thursty marines always got your back. But in heroic and legendary you need them to cover your ass even harder. They actually take out enemies! I just noticed this when i beat halo 2 on heroic.

You can qoute me on this, I love marines, in halo of course, but whatever, the snow level i dotn know how but i acutally had 8 marines survive with me on i want to say normal or heroic but who am i kidding it was probably easy but i love saving those marines, just so that when think they are behind me they already got evaced.....

In easy it easy to save them. I can still keep all of them alive in Normal, but can't save all in heroic or legendary. They just become walking targets. Except for the snipers.

marines are retarded, they just shoot you in the back and get in the way of your bullets. I've never actually seen one hit an enemy before, that's why I kill them myself straight away

No, I don't need anyone. In fact I usually kill them for fun. I've beet the game on legendary lots of times. When you play a lot. It's not hard.

But...

If you do need help, a human player (co-op mode) is much more helpful than the marines.

The ONLY thing the marines are good for is cannon fodder.

Putting the "pro" in procrastination since birth.

It's because in Legendary/Heroic they aren't afraid to use their weapons.

On easy, its like *bang bang*........................................................ .............*bang*

On legendary, its like *bang bang bang bang bang bang**throws grenade**bang bang*

Yeah I noticed, ever killed Keyes on the Autumn on Legendary? The Marines fill you up with bullets instantly! Whereas on the likes of Normal and Easy you could very much be standing there for 20 minutes or longer as they fire a single round and jump out of the way of each other.

They do last much longer in Halo 2, unless you give them a Rocket Launcher that is.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

The Marines are usless has infantry men once u pass the normal difficulty.


Unless they are in a tank or hog with you, they are usless in hard and legendary.
