we r?

Since we will have stationary guns (as seen in the demo), will we have limited ammo? I remember in last year's demo, one marine said, "I'm running low man!" I don't know if it was the gunner, or the man with the battle rifle. It's when MC runs up the stairs with that marine. I know the gunner seat in the hog will have infinite ammo. (4 days, 10 hours, and 30 minutes until my one year anniversay on B.net!)

Stationary guns won't have limits on their ammo (I am almost positive I read this somewhere). The marines saying "I'm running low" is probably just for the effect on realism. After all, wouldn't it be annoying if marines ran out of ammunition and could only take cover and hide? On that not, wouldn't it be annoying to race to a turret on your base to shoot down a banshee that made off with your flag just to have an "ammo depleted" sign come up?

There was no ammo counter on the turret, so I don't think it actually ran out of ammo.

Similarly, I don't think the marine in last year's demo was actually running low. It was a part of the ambience Bungie was creating for the level.
