Yeah, the marines in Halo 2 were kind of wimps, I meen, they got scared sometimes, espcially in cutscenes, and with the scarab, but for the wrong reasons. Also, if you had a Spartan with you, I'd sort of feel kickass also, but still, I get what you meen. The covenant seem scared because, 1, their friggin grunts, they're always scared, but as far as them acting more defensivly, well that's because they hear how he destroyed so many covenant, he has quite a reputation as a badass, which the marines hear aswell. In Halo 1, not many soldiers or covenant had experience with Spartans, so they were like "Uh, who's this guy? Whatever, don't get in my way" but now they are like "Wow! A Spartan! Yeah let's kickass marines! *Hides behind the Chief*" The Master Chief was a big moral booster in Halo 2 because they knew what he has done.
