How do the Marines expect to survive with assault rifles? ARs are 4 noobs lol

This Soffish do not eat.

Well perhaps in the games they might be seen that way - but that's just to balance out gameplay mechanics.

Canon-wise, the AR is much more powerful, and would be a great staple gun for most combat situations. Plus, it's pretty iconic in the Halo series!

Can tell if trolling...

...or just really stupid.

I'm Gourlay, I'm only here because I didn't know we had the option to leave.

I can't wait for the Halo 4 Forward Unto Dawn series to come out for youtube.

If Bungie was kind enough to spawn 20 marines with AR in one area, the marines wouldn't look so pathetic.

You have 3 opportunities to realize their potential:

#1 - get the full 16 marines on AotCR. Bridge jump to get the extra 7

#2 - collect all the marines on Outskirts. Even on Legendary, they kick ass. Turn on Angry to make them even more lethal.

#3 - collect all the marines on Tsavo Highway. I've seen screenshots of the carnage.

I know that just 14 marines with Carbines can wreak havoc. Now imagine 30 marines, which is possible on The Covenant but is excruciatingly difficult.

Finally, if you're still not convinced by the time you've done the above, fight the marines on Crow's Nest on Solo Legendary and survive. Use Johnson as protection from grenades.

Of course, if they're in Reach, it doesn't matter how many there are. They suck.
