You know what? I love playing Halo alongside my fellow marines (well their not actually my "fellow" marines but their on my side) so it hurts me to see them just standing around after a heated battle (picture AOTCR) right next to a medpack that I don't need ( two for that matter) and for them not to use it. I know it's not their fault but that does'nt make me feel any better about it either. At least I know that in the sequel I'll be fighting alongside mostly Helljumpers and not POA crew members and regular marines. Or maybe those were Helljumpers in Halo? Whatever the case may be, they'd better know how to "use" a medpack in the sequel. And why would Bungie only program the marines to drive the ghosts and not the warthogs?

No they don't. They only drive the ghosts. We're still talking about part one arent we?

No! Do NOT let marines use medpacks. They're gonna use them when you need them, and it'll annoy the hell out of you.

Because I've read the books. I think on earth there will be a bountiful number of Helljumpers.

While we are on the subject of Helljumpers (ODSTs), go here and check out the new render of the Heljumpers at the bottom of the page.

What are Helljumpers, just about the most craziest badasses ever. They're official name is ODSTs (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper) They're the next best thing to Spartans.

As all thier tattoo's say it, "DROP JET JUMPERS FEET FIRST INTO HELL" These guys are the best of the best (besides spartans). Its a certain kind of crazy to join their outfit as it is a volunteer basis program. Read Halo: The Flood to get all the info as well as Fall of Reach for additional.

And also, the marines in halo WERE NOT Helljumpers, they were standard marines off the pillar of autumn, which is not (to my knowledge) outfitted to launch the orbital dropships that the helljumpers use (or at least fall of reach made no mention of it with the ship's loadout).
