How about this: a marine walks along and suddenly out of nowhere gets shot by a beam rifle from a split-chin sniper jackel and his marine friend starts shooting at the jackel. A bullet hits the jackels weapon and the jackel dropps it while this happens the marine with his sniper manages to nearly blow the jackels head off. The jackel in desperation starts shooting with it's plasma pistol at the same time also runs at the marine, lucky for the marine he has a secondary weapon and whips out his shoty and blows the jackel to smitherenes. The marine dropps his weapon and leans over his dead friends corpse while at the same time crying. Banging his fist on his friends chest trying to bring him back to life in desperation, he starts saying: NO NOOOO NOOOOOOOO YOU CAN"T LEAVE ME.. PLEASE DON"T leave me; he says them two last words in a croaking whisper. This sort of scene in Halo3 would show the dark side of war and also add a sad and vengiful mood to the game.

New Marine, hm, maybe a sniper marine? One that looks different from the others and always carries his trusty sniper. He'd also have one of those green lenses on his helmet over his eye so he could spot enemies.

You mean a scout who is specialised at distanced attacks and also the best a gorrilar warfare.

The normal marine's for Halo3 need them green eyepieces back and also the armor from Halo1 because it just looked more marcho and it doesn't look like plastic unlike the Halo2 armor. The armor needs to be green though not grey, they should also have them mouth pieces back like they had in Halo1. They should like have some sort of goggles that they can connect to their helmits. The ODST marine should have like camo for their suit, it should depend on the rank of the ODST though. As I said at top, there should be a scout marine who is very good at tactical gorrilla warfare, so the scout would be a slippery target for the covenat to shoot.

I wanna level where the MC fends off a Covie siege on a Human camp/base, aided by Marines. And then, they pull out the old armored exo-skeletons (from TFoR, maybe improved versions) and start annihilating stuff.

That'd be awesome. Of course, the exo-skeletons would have to have external generators, and if those are destroyed, the Marines inside the suits would be pwn'd.

Well they would be cool, didn't they have some mounted turret of somekind? The warthog minigun? So they are more like small mechs

Medic Marines, for marines only, and IF they put the health bar back in, for MC too,

Better yet, he nukes a new alien (that looks like liquid metal) with a Brute Grenade Launcher. =D

Different roles!

Regular: The present marine, whoopie! Mostly assault weapons.
Sarge: Looks like the present marine yet hes wearing a hat instead. All things same as marine, except stronger...
ODST: Present day Orbital Drop Shock Trooper
Scout: Smaller armor and a pull-down visor. Uses mostly sidearms, BR55s, and snipers.
Heavy/Vehicle specialists: Heavy armor, ODST helmet except different, uses vehicles and rockets etc.
Space Marines: ODSTs with gravity packs and uses ALL weapons except for the enrgy sword.
Spec. Ops marines: Pretty much ODSTs who don't use drop pods and are specalized to use EVERY weapon available. Smarter, know how to use grenades, and use melee whenever needed.
Spartan: In the Fall of Reach, Mendez said he'd train the 2nd generation of spartans, right? So the new spartans will join the fight! All weapons.

Like my ideas?

WTH? You're joking me right...? How about this...you're a Green Armored Clad Warrior who has SHIELDs that have KILLED more than a BUNCH of Covenant troops...possibly millions...your armor is stained with the blood of your enemies and you hold a smoking hot sniper rifle that you used to blast that little Jackal who dropped his gun and ran the other way....the bullet went through that Jackal and hit another one. While this is all happening a bunch of Brutes decide to rush you. Not any type of Brutes...BESERKERS! Oh...it gets better...your shield is down and you are low on ammo. Why in heaven's name would u be listening to a Marine...or ANYONE talking at that moment? Halo is a game...Life is not...if you want to watch/listen/learn about the dark side of war...go read it in a book...or watch the news.

Err....Now about those marines....

They can run out of ammo....thats about it.....oh...make them smarter please.....Also give us more ODSTs...we fight with the best :-)

Thats a cool idea!

It would be good if that was built into the marine AI so that if there friend dies they crouch down beside for a bit (maybe remove the helmet recorder and take there ammo if we also applied NuclearMage's idea) then get up and carry on being a marine (with the killing and the shooting and the "oh the pain ive been shot"!)

All the Marines should have some form of camo uniform, maybe digital, the eye piece back and the mouth piece back. Along with a scout and medic Marine how about an engineer Marine that can plant/defuse mines.

i would like to see specialised marines, perhaps snipers have a lighter form of armour, heavy weapons guys would have a bullet belt around them, and medics would obviously have the red cross on them somewhere.

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

Er, those exo-skeletons were the original MJOLNIR Mark 1 battle armour. It was also pretty plainly said that they were useless in a battle feild because of their enormus power consumption and they needed to be plugged in. If their power supply was destroyed they would fall in a heap on the floor and be unable to move because of the weight of the suit. Then they'd need a couple of other marines to help them out. Not ideal when you are being shot at.

Which is why I said "maybe improved versions". And "external generators", which would be a good weakness for them.

And plus, they're fending off a siege, not going into a skirmish.

Wow alot of responses well I will ad one what if there was a marine that would actually run away from a grenade[instead of them just sitting there looking at the roses]and a marine who can dual wield that would be cool!

What I would want:
*H1 armour, but with the brown plates coloured green.

*More "personal" Marines, i.e. those Australian hats with corks hanging from them, headbands, tattoos (and make the tattoos worhwhile seeing as how this is going to be on the 360 and all), scars.

*This is more of an all-round game wish, but nevertheless it still applies for the Marines; make them so they have a fighting chance in Legendary, not only make them smarter and aggressive for this difficulty but there duration should be upped. I like how they had health bars in H1, but maybe give them an "invisible" shield? By this I mean a shield that is basically in the programming and that you can't see it, but make it sort of like the Marine has bearings so he can handle a torrent of plasma as he scrambles for cover. Then once this is down, the Marine is vulnerable.

*This is another all-round wish, but make Marines only drive the Warthog if you're in the passenger seat or have taken the gunner position, and for god's sake better driving A.I.!

*An English Marine for once, and one that doesn't have a generic accent, maybe give him a Scouse accent that isn't a comedy one. Hell, I'd be happy to get a Scottish Marine too.

What I don't want for Marines:
*Commands, sure the D-Pad is useless, and D-Pads are growing more and more obsolete now, but at first the idea of using the D-Pad to issue commands seemed really good to me. But now that I think about it, the gameplay wouldn't be so smooth and it would actually be quite awkward. All I really want a Marine to do is to be able to kill and look after himself, and he if has a Sniper Rifle I want him to get away from the squad of Marines holding Assault Rifles who are engaging the enemy on-foot while he sits back and snipes the enemy; remember that one Sniper Marine in the rockslide in the second level of H1? He just stayed at the edge and sniped. Also, if a Marine has a Rocket Launcher I'd like it if he only fired it in large open spaces and when no allies where in front of him.
