There was nothing more anti-climatic then finishing a battle and getting a briefing from Miranda saying that she is sending in a pelican to drop you some help. And low and behold! 1 marine drops!!!

Really, I think besides for the High Charity level, there wasn't more then 2 max marines that I had at my side when fighting against dozens of Covenant and floods at a time.

Atleast a squad of 5 or 6 would be enough.

The covenant missions had a little more, but it was like 1 elite and 2 grunts :(...

I'd settle for 4 player online co-op, and honestly, if you need the marines' help to win, well that's just sad...

The same thing happens in GR:AW. You don't use your squadmates as friends, you use them as bullet sponges.

They don't need to be super strong elite marines, just there to add atmosphere. Knowing that the covies have something else to shoot at for a change.

I agree it would be nice to have more allies like in halo 1, or maybe even more than that.

I don't think really anyone needs them so that they can be more helpful. For me, when Halo 1 came out I really liked having so many marines with me (for example: Assault on the Control Room lvl). Not because they made it easier to play through the lvls with so much support but just because it was cool to see them fighting with you, dodging grenades, taking up firing positions and most of all, spouting out some funny one-liners.

more marines would be nice...but i still like the idea of 3 other spartans by your side with thousands of covenant to go upagainst, and i do mean thousands....which would make for a nice reason to have 4 player online co-op.
