I do not know how many marines there will be, but I know for a fact that they will be smart as hell, thanks to Madmax.

Seeing as the Covenant control Earth, I doubt there will be more than in Halo 2. Probably less, but definitely not more.

NO I EXPECT MORE OF THE ARBITER!!!!!!!

i think that there will be marines on the majority of the earth levels(if we leave earth again)

because the MC will be more valuable than ever( if possible) and also the number of marines left probably couldnt support multiple ops at the same time


side note-
"arbier" will probably have already posted before me or soon after with absolutely no relevence to the topic please, mods, ban him

They will fight harder than ever because they know they will probably die if the covenant completely control earth

i believe that there will be more marines, or at least more marines with working with you more often than in halo or in halo 2.

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts, absolutely.

Expect? Less. Hope? Tons more.

I think most of them will be dead but there should be some left.

it would make sense if there were less because humanity IS, as of the end of h2, getting its ass handed to it by the covies

Less Marines. FAR more Spartans.

Let's face the facts, if Earth is conquered.

1. The UNSC will be most likely reduced to an underground resistance movement.
2. A majority of the admiralty and command staff will be dead.
3. Most of the major cities will be destroyed.
4. There will be very few civilians.
5. The Brutes will be every where.
6. The current Human/Elite Alliance is outnumbered, to a certain extent, by the current Covenant.
7. Five Spartan-II's vs. 10,000,000 Brutes? Sounds like a fair fight.

The majority of the Earth military is probably UNSC, ground troops on outlying planets were all UNSC, as were air troops, and everything else.

Once the Covenant attacked Earth (before that actually) propaganda was sent out to convince people to join the military (men and women) now that the choices have been limited to fight or die, whether you're in the military or not, I'm sure that almost everyone is in the military or military support staff.

No major cities means that Earthlings are now nomadic. The fastest moving best protected group is going to be the military, they're also going to be the ones with the best coordinated evacuation plan. I expect lots of Marines.

Also 5 Spartans versus 10,000,000 Brutes is not a fair fight... all 5 would have to tie their hands behind their back... or maybe be blindfolded.

And yet, the Brutes would still be owned!

It depends. Are all 10 mil of them berserking and charging the spartans at once?

I dont care about how many there are, but I do want more funny quotes from them....AFTER they have one the fight they're fighting, I dont want them making any calls during the blood bath.

And a little emotion from them wont hurt, like when you shoot them its "Clean you visor" instead of "Holy hell!!! You just hot my leg!! ARGH!!!"

Halo CE: "Oh, God. We're trapped in here. We're doomed...we're doomed, man!!" - emotion.

Halo 2: *tanks gets killed by scarab* (No one says anything) - no emotion.

I think I proved my point.....eloquent.

Did you hear this from the Marines after the Scorpion got destroyed, because I sure did:

"See this look, IT'S TERROR!"
"Marine, did I give you permission to -blam!-?!?"
