jus a thought :D. i think that the marines should come in higher ranks than jus seargant and privates. i think thats all ive seen so far (except for captain keyes and ppl like her u know?). and thats adds to my ssecond idea. i think master chief should have more control over the marines. i mean, he is like one of the highest ranks right? i think the they should use the d-pad for commands for the marines. also if u have a xbox communicator, u should be able to command the marines with that as well. like telling a luitenant for example, to go around their left flank and ull take a sniper and heavy gunner around the right. lol well i hope u like this idea.

its not so much that they suck either. its more of the fact that they are practically are doing there own thing. noones is REALLY leading them. thats why i think commands should be added in halo 3.

I think the marines should work together a bit better. And duck behind stuff like the enemy.

I've always thought it was clever how bungie kind of got you watching the back's of your marines if you come across any and keeping them safe, because their extra fire-power makes them a survival must. Also the implimentation in halo2 of swapping weapons meant you could give them more stopping power. I think all that you really need to make sure the marines AI does for Halo3 is make sure in certain places, such as down alleyways or corridoors, they let the cheif take the lead, and as soon as they get into open area's establish a post in the area until the chief moves on...plus on the veichal side id like to see much more control, faster fire on the Gause cannon and better recognition of the environment along with more killer 'high concept movie like' one liners, id also like to see marines using their pistols and snipers take a decent vantage point, which is what halo 2 promised but i felt never delivered. oh yes....and for -blam!-s sakes you know im right about this one guys....get the -blam!- out my way when im firing my -blam!- gun at those -blam!-ign aliens and would the guy with the rocket launcher stop blowing himself + his comrades up...sheesh!!!

No the masterchief is not a high rank it is about the same as a seargeant so all he could really command are privates

lol that exactly why i would want command over the marines.everytime u give them a rocket or fuel rod cannon or something with aot of firepower, they always blow themselves up. they shoot there own team with snipers too. if you had command over them, u could tell them to hold their position while u took out the bigger enemy, then called them in to help 'sweep up the mess'. :D

Sorry for the double post. But the rank of Master Chief Petty Officer in the Navy is not the same rank as Sergeant in the Marine Corps.

In Fact, Master Chiefs are 3 pay grades higher than the Sergeants.
