Who cares about marines worry about who your playing as Marines don't need to do anything special.

Down, down to hell and say that I sent you there...

I came into the world with my legs forward and a woman cried "he was born with teeth!"

"I had no father I am like my father...I had no brother I am like my brother...And this word, "love" which old farts call divine be resident in men like you -blam!-. But not in me, I am my mother-blam!- self, alone."

You Are an Idiot

A lot of time soldiers will tell jokes in combat to relieve themselves from what's going on.

Why? Do you not like humor? Laughing makes you sore or something? Do you not get jokes easily? I don't understand why you would take that away?

You do NOT tell a joke when half of your squad (friends) have just been wiped out by an 8 foot tall Alien. Never.

Maybe the occasional joke when you're in minimal danger, or in none at all...but when your friends were just murdered? Only a psycho would do that.

And I agree with them all being hispanic, that's just stupid. We need more diversity.

I doubt very much that the americans entering D-DAY told jokes when people had their organs blowing up thanks to shockwaves from grenades etc.
Some soldiers was eveen screaming for their mom,i mean people who talk about making jokes,perhaps when the bullets are coming or when you are clearly winning,but when you see your soldiers get hit,you must be a retard if you tell jokes.

Here is a little Halo advice: Don't rely on that Marines. If you do, then play the game on easy and work your way up.

Btw,the marines in Halo sucked,why does no one hold in their fire much more against Elites?
Now i hold a gun in the swedish army,i know about the recoil ffs.
But this is 2500,i almost expect it to be better for the soldiers,also its not impossible to shot more then 3 bullets on something when standing 1 meter from a Elite.

ANd yes i refer to halo,not halo2 which had that battlerifle...

I want the marines to be much better in combat now.
Elites in Halo2 in the Arbiter mission was great.

Dont post in my topic again. You have no idea what anyone here is talking about.


I know exactly what everyone is talking about. Why did they make jokes? The Marines in Halo have been to war for the better part of their lives, most have probably been fighting Covenant since they were 18. If you see Marines die day in and day out, and then you are fighting hand and hand with a Spartan, you will probably be happy. They have heard about Master Chief and his acomplishments, they feel a level of comfort with him. They know the numerous times he has saved soldiers, and they feel that they will win the battle at hand when he is there.

They tell jokes because their relieved. I would be. In many situations Marines have no choice but to die. They are out numbered on the ground, in the air, in space, and even in slip space. In most cases it's a loose loose situation for the average Marine. Their lives on the battle field are dim. They are out equipt and usually don't stand a chance. Again, why do they laugh? Look at what they deal with, wouldn't you?

They are highly trained, if you read the books you would know that they usually know what to do in foreign areas without being told. They have been through it before. It's a game of survival, they don't need to yell commands, especially with a COM system.

Maybe that will help you understand why Marines joke around. If you need anything else, alot of men and women in service visit these forums, and they can tell you.

Why are they Hispanic? We reconize Hispanics. Many accents are hard to duplicate and even harder to understand in such a fast paced game as Halo. I'm sure there's more ethnicities fighting, but it could be very possible that while playing the game, we just missed them, or took them for something else.

I agree with the topic creator.

First, yes, the Marines with the thick accents can be annoying. It gives away that Marine characters are still being used over and over. And what's wrong with the guy who did Mendoza's voice in Halo CE? He has a accent, but not an 'annoying if you hear it over and over that you want to kill him'. I feel Marines should have more diversity, but at the same time keep their accents out or at least find people with a slight accent.

Hopefully, Marine AI will be signifcantly better by Halo 3. In Halo 2, they were a horrible bunch. They drive Warthogs like they're drunk, don't know how to drive a Scorpion, don't know how to use a Rocket Launcher properly, stand in the line of fire(the whole taking cover thing was just for show), have quite a bit of trouble killing anything other than straggling Grunts and Jackals, and it could go on forever...

Marine dialogue. If you ask me, I think voice-overs for Marines should include several thousand or so dialogue that I call combat dialogue. Instead of cracking the same jokes over and over, maybe they'd be more efficient if they learn to work as a team. By combat dialogue, I mean Marines who react accordingly to the enemy AI movements(not in-game scripted, it's all random yet accordingly so)-such as calling for heavy supression, pointing out enemy snipers, radio in recon, radio in air strikes, take cover, flank the enemy, status reports, securing areas, being pinned down, on the move, pulling back, falling back, holding position, requesting medical support, awaiting/sending/requesting friendly (armor) support, defensive, offensive, enemy fire zones, spotting enemy armor/artillery, incoming enemies, etc. Crack jokes when the fighting's over, or blend combat dialogues and wisecracks...
