Seriously, the marines in h2 look like plastic surgery gone bad. I hope in h3 they actually look real. At least the males, the females aren't too bad in h2. Also, please make the marines actually useful when they aren't holding a sniper or rockets. I mean, they're marines..."The few, the proud, the marines." In h2 they're more like, "The few, pitiful, the up to date peasants with pitch forks."

WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!
The only good looking females were Miranda Keyes......and Cortana....but I don't think Cortana would count as a female.
The other females were ugly, especially the one when you get the tank<<

Marines are cannon fodder, their not supposed to be good. They're supposed to be a distraction while you do the fighting. DUH!

yeah..

also if you play as the covenant.. i would like some real back up.. not grunts that die if one flood form touches them.

also you can only get a jackal partner if your very lucky.

the only level with good partners was uprising.

yeah but "distractions" arent supposed to die in 5 seconds and be there for only 2 mins of the map.

i always give them better weapons.. like br's and to grunts the fuel rod cannan. but they die so fast..

Dude.
Your telling me the guy with the only chance to save Earth.....is given a few marines?!
Why New mombasa anyway......why not Los Angeles lol.
Well, there should be alot more marines in Halo, you know in Halo 1, you had more marines, and it made you feel safe having allies actually with you..

I don't mind looks, but for the love of God, a little more AI!!

Example from Halo 2:
*Walking down hallway with Marines*
*Enemies come charging out of door*
*Marine: "FRAG OUT!"*
*Throws grenade into wall/bounces of head of teammate*
BOOM.

I know that Bungie can do better. Everyone brags about their AI, but it is never that amazing. I understand how hard it is but for once I want AI to wow me.

umm not sure about u but this is a BLAMing video game... its not real life... they cant make it better.... the marinces cant think because they dont have brains because they are digital... also is there any other game that has better marines/soldiers or 'AI better than h2 and h1 marines? dont think so...


Umm, I do believe that in the game Call of Duty 2 the AI is very nice, much nicer than h2....they cant make it better... Again, I do believe they can, otherwise they wouldn't be taking near as much time on h3, and they would just leave the marines like they are. Maybe you're right, maybe they are going to leave them the way they are. If they do...I'll not buy h3. ...the marinces cant think because they dont have brains because they are digital... Hence the reason they came out with AI.
For the other guy, I'm not saying the females on h2 are hot, in no way are they even near that, I'm just saying they look better that the males.
The last guy that posted, in CE they had many more marines at one time. Take the second level, the marines are stranded on the structure on the ring. There were like 12 marines there, in h2 the most I see are like 5 or 6. I'm not wanting to hate on bungie I'm just saying that I hope they improve these things in h3.

I was playing the Halo 2 leval Regret and when you are about to get on the gondala they drop of two marines and one of them is this really funney guy that i've never seen before!

  • 06.07.2006 10:42 AM PDT

Got-dang, how old was that signature?

Halo has very exelent Marine AI for come that is not squad based. I gone through all of Delta Halo on legendary keeping every marine alive, (execpt the OSDT, there always doomed), each of them with a different human weapon, I didn't just stack them all with snipers and rockects. just one BR, one SMG, one Sniper, and RL, and they actually held incredibly well on there own. It was cool to watch, because they did most of the killing. Funniest part was when they all huddled together on that log after that "nothing but a jackal" save and wal walking down it took out 4 Buggers, 2 Jackals and 2 elites. They did almost all the killing in that whole valley, i just took at their snipers.
