Subject: Why does George kill the marines on 'Tip of the Spire'?

when approaching the spire towards the end of the mission Dot says something along the lines of "the spire is transmitting an electro magnetic shield" and the pilot stops flying the falcon because he knows it will cause it to shut down, then george commands the pilot to take them into the EMP of the spire. it was obvious it was going to cause the falcon to crash and all the marines died.

It was priority 1. They had to know what they were hiding.

I'm sure the marines knew they were gonna die, they were on a mission with spartans, how are marines supposed to survive that kind of mission...thats why the UNSC designed spartans in the first place, to complete missions that were otherwise immposible. they knew what they were getting into, don't feel bad for them, it's called acceptable losses.

He did it because people keep using George instead of Jorge.

Just like being a Red shirt on a Star Trek away mission, you know you're going to die.

"In Halo 3 not all 50's were good players, but all good players were 50's."

Your opinion is invalid.

They could have just landed and walked into the shield and made it there like five minutes later, but with, you know, live soldiers.

I can think of several reasons.

-he knew the game would swap your weapons with the default loadout with barely any ammo for the DMR after the cutscene. The marines just happened to be wielding DMRs...
-the marines would have died anyway. Jorge merely wanted to save them the embarrassment of being pwned by the Covies
-Jorge is invincible so he knew he wouldn't die from the crash
-Reach is bad at making tragic moments

Couldn't the pilot have just descended until the Falcon was 10 feet of the ground before he tried crossing the shield?

Half of what I say is true. The other half are also lies.

They messed with Jorge's machine gun and he wanted revenge.
