Well, Since Elites get to have shields and grunts and such dont and all that. Why cant there be a new marine, kinda like a Special forces kinda thing, they get better armor and a shield like the MC and elites, we can still keep the regular marines. Im only suggesting it because the marines get picked off WAY TO EASILY as it is. All im sayin is give the MC a little support!

IMMORTAL.

ODSTs dont have shields. They should have weak ones though.

If the UNSC Marines can't have SPARTAN-type shields. Then why can't the Marines have a shield like what modern day-SWAT Officers use?

Well think about it, alot more Grunts and Jackals die, than Marines and ODSTs. So really, its already balanced. Bungie is Bungie, they will do it right and better.

That is true. Because I know all of our ideas are crap, and that Bungie will make a better game than we want it to be.

the marines should have personalities. they are better or worse in combat depending on the weapon you give them.the UNSC consists of the whole world right? so there should be more different kinds of soldiers

Marines would have to go through the same procedure (chemical enhancement, etc) as the Spartans to get the suits. A marine that tried it died from pressure (i think pressure on his bones, but im not sure).

Marines have to do something other than suck at war and die

Just because the covies have those, doesnt mean that the humans need something equivelent. For example, some people want a Human sword, just because the covenant has a sword. Does that mean the covenant need a plasma shotgun? No. Does that mean the humans need a slug-throwing equivelant of a needler? No. Its meant to make sides balanced, not identical.

Really, because on Heroic they tend to take a lot more consecutive hits than Chief can.

This one goes to eleven.

(10:19:49 PM) Scruss: oh and pezza, i saw what you did to that cat
(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

I think that it is implied that they AI will be better when Bungie themselves state it, which they already have. I'll have to say yes that the marines will be smarter.
