I still think the marines are pretty dumb. But compared to Halo1 they are Einsteins.My one prolem with the marines is that when a grenade is thrown they don't move far enuf away they do a little roll but the grenade still is only 1 metre away.and they also don't kill very much or throw grenades at all compared to the covenant allies.

if they were as smart as elites then you wouldn't get very many kills.

Yeah, and that always sucks. Makes me mad every time I try getting an enemy and they decide they want to test luck and shoot the one in front of me....even if I'm between the Covenant and the Marine.

Im gonna pu this in my sig soon. I am a Marine and am two weeks from my "Hell Week" trial to become a Navy Seal. From first and experience i can tell u that the Marines in halo 2 need sum improvement.
1. The Marines need to be much more tactical, they need to communicate in a militaristic type way and follow a chain of command

2. They need to work better as a team

3. Enough with the stupid wise cracks! is the damn Salvation Army or are they a bunch men. Enough with their stupid laid back comments. I wanna see sum bad ass marines in halo 3

4. Again this is first hand experience. Put women were they actually are. In my years as a Marine i have never seen one female "Ground Pounder" I see them all around tech crew area and computers. Foehammer in halo 1 was a great eaxmaple of where women in the military serve. Bungie has to stop trying appease the oppressive fist of political correctness and start being realistic.

5. make the armor gray again

6. bring back that cool green eye piece

Marines do not suck I just was playing Halo 2 and I had a magic marine that would just load up everytime me and my roommate started fighting and would kick ass, then he would just kinda hang in that room til we went to another battle. Weird I know but hey a magic marine is still a marine. haha

Come on man, you as a Marine should know that the military always changes...............it's almost a living organism..................

I do agree that females should not be pounding dirt with the rest.........but I have seen many women who could actually carry the 100+lb rucks......and could actually get out there with the boys and do the same -blam!-..............so it is not a far fetched to not have women ''ground pounders'' in the future.........They would have to be tough as nails but it is possible.............

I agree with the rest of what you say.......................

I thought the marines looked very primitive............

Actually according to bungie we are pretty much getting our asses handed to us by the covies. The trailer from e3 is near the ruins of new mombasa and since the "structure" resembles the ship/city from halo2 im guessing the earth is pretty much done with. Im guessing the most of the civilians have already been evacuated to another planet.

And who cares about the marines i want more levels with the helljumpers, and maybe the unsc has come up with a personal shield device that they can use. But i totally agree we should be able to issue some basic squad commands like hold position, and follow.

the wise cracks and things the marines make are cool i dont want a bunch of jarheads running around all serious this is graw or something its halo and halo isnt as serious a game as any other military based shooter. As for women in the military being on the front lines they can stop bullets just as well as us guys can. And did you know that in ww2 many of the snipers used by the russians actually were women. That aside according to the books women in the unsc are on equal footing with the men there were even women spartans but unfortunately most of the spartans died at the fall of reach. Well technically we know that the covenant glass the planet and spartan 117 mourns the loss of his fellow spartans, but there's room for some awesome escape story in which most if not all of the spartans could have made there way to a ship and taken off(i hope anyway).

the AI wasnt amazing but it wasnt all that bad.
i think the marines need to have health. Because the marines never seemed to die, they would take a beating from a hunter and they would still just stand there.

They die, if you havnt seen them die, then you arent watching. Screw the marines, theyve failed us as far as halo is concerned, The ODSTs are the seals of the future, and they kick ass.

A female's bullet can stop an Elite as much as a bullet comming from a male. So it wouldn't be impractical to have women fighting along side men. Plus, they are usually less "negatives" for women to be fighting in 2552 than now, where if they get captured, they can get brutally tortured. Covenants usually don't take prisoners, so it wouldnt really matter.

And is it me or do you have a lot of typos for a Marine? Shouldnt you be diciplined enough to not make little careless mistakes? It's quite noticable in all your posts. Just my opinion on that.

Women, actually have steadier hands than men. So they would be more effictive with Snipers and Long Range Weapons, Like the Russians used them for.

have you ever thought about the fact that humanity is almost defeated, if your nearing extinction you wont just give up because you think that the women cant fight, the unsc need every man and woman they can get. i agree with everything else
