Make them useful. Have more than 3 default faces for them, after seeing the same guy die twice, it gets old.

How about shielded marines? Why not adapt the shield to fit the new ODST suit? It would be a usefull advantage for the UNSC. Of course, with Halo 2's shield system, the spartan is no stronger than an average marine. he just has some shields. At least in Halo 1, he had more health.

you need to use marines as mp characters same with grunts jackles hunters and bruntes the marines actually need to be able to stay alive for more than 10sec......they should also be smart and use things as cover and throw grenades. they should wear mjloliner battle suits for armour and would pick up weps when they find a 1 they shouyld also be more accurate marksman and be capable of holding their own ground

"Thoughts are the shadows of feelings; always darker, emptier, and simpler."

Marines to look like the master Chief. Like with sheilded armor. Like a Mark V.
And they would also be green armored.

No, Bren. The reason the Marines dont have MJOLNIR armor is becuase the enhancements of the armor are too great for thier bodies to withstand. The books described a guy movine his arm inside of one of the suits, his arm moved so fast it broke in half. Then with every movement or tremble because of pain, the suit did further damage until he eventually died. Think of it as a living hell. The Spartans augmentations allow them to withstand the stress of the suits.

Anyways, if you want something similar to spartans, just give them shields. Those would be easier to supply than the MJOLNIR.

I think the marines should take cover more often and if they're being sniped they should try running behind a corner and then running back out again instead of just sitting there while they get picked off. Oh, and also they should learn how to use explosive weapons properly and you should be able to give them orders (doesn't necessarily apply specifically to marines but elites tend to think on their feet better).

EDIT: oh, and also you should have more than just two with you at a time (even if it means more enemies or more difficult challenges to overcome to balance this), I missed having a mini army of marines with me like in Halo 1.

I want a Marine that can actually snipe....how do you miss when the guy is only 3 feet away? I wouldn't mind a medic marine...if they ever put back the health bar...it'll be like MoH: PA.

Green eyepieces were ok but when you try to say something bad about Halo 2 armor is when I don't like where it's going. If you ask me the armor in Halo CE looks like it was put together in a couple hours time. Maybe you should combine the armor. Also they have shields but not like MC's they should be not very strong but enough to make them somewhat useful in legendary.

"Heals the Warthogs" Rofl...

Good ideas for Marine ranks though.

  • 07.15.2006 3:47 PM PDT

The marines should look more like the guys in Quake 4. And when one marine dies the other should kneel beside them and close their eyes.

I can't believe Bungie removed that from Halo 2, sure they didn't honour their fallen allies as passionately as the guys in Quake 4, but in Halo 1 you had Marines standing over corpses and whispering "They'll pay for this" .

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.


wat the hell that is way way way to stupidly sad why would that be in a cutscene its has nothin to do with the story. "Gosh idiot"


I said scene, not cutscene, a scene can be in gameplay as well as cutscenes so before trying to flame some one please read postings propely. It would only happen rarely and plus it was only a idea, don't go all mental; OK!

veterans like johnson wont cry maby rookies.Maby carzy sucidal marines from so much combat i mean.The marines should have a limit maby lean on a wall panting after a run or fire fight.Vetranes should push marines out of fire and when shot by a elite and now there gona die run up and make sure the elite takes the full blast of the gernade in there hand

If marines had Spartan 1 project suits... That would be nice, you wouldn't have to try to save your marines all the time on Legendary.

"And so here at the end of my life, I do once again betray a former
master. The path ahead is fraught with peril. But I will do all I can
to keep it stable - keep you safe. I'm not so foolish to think this
will absolve me of my sins. One life hardly balances billions. But I
would have my masters know that I have changed. And you shall
be my example." -Mendicant Bias

Yeah see, the Spartan I's were the Spartans from ancient greece, not one's from the future.

Anyway, I would like to see different ranks of marines, e.g. private, seargent, colonel, which would allow for varied skill levels, ( better accuracy, tactics).

I want them to actually be useful in Legendary


Stand behind them when there is a Sniper near-by, they become very usefull.

-------

The Marines in H-1 looked like Malitia Men. Looked like they took Titanium-A plates and tied it on themselves. Very sloppy. The Marines in H2 looked a lot cleaner, like a militant should. Same Material, painted drab.
