Legendary on T&R, busted Keyes out of jail but by the next checkpoint he was one-plasma-bolt-to-the-foot away from death (I tested this myself) and was always in front of a marine. The marines killed him the moment an enemy was sighted. That was the first time I was ever actually required to kill marines to complete a mission, though I've happily done it many times before. Of course, Keyes took exception to this but didn't do anything till I got to the switch in the shuttlebay and every enemy was dead. At that point, Keyes runs up to me, pulls out a grenade, and tries to kill me with it. The grenade kills him even if I live. Every. Damn. Time.

Great. Keyes is such a wonderful addition to the game. The only interaction between you and him once off the POA is for you to rescue him FROM THE SAME DAMN COVENANT SHIP TWICE. And evidently he decided he wasn't enough of a pain in the ass. Once it's clear to him that the covies aren't gonna keep him from leaving the ship, he kills himself.

I want better AI in H2.

And have you noticed that it's sometimes hard as hell to run over an elite in a warthog, but it's easy to accidentally run over as many as 3 marines in a row by accident? The marines dodge into the WH path, the elites dodge out.

You gotta wonder, should MC really be risking his life to save people like this?

I can think of numerous horrible experiences with Marines! The Marines are good for drawing enemy fire away from MC.

Okay, picture this. You're on the level Halo on Legendary difficulty. You just come out of the underground structure where some of the stranded marines are hiding out. You know, where you try to sneak up on the crap loads of enemies but your marines just burst out guns-a-blazing? Now, when you come out of this hole/cave thingy, there is limited space to work with. Hence the reason my marine ran directly in front of a plasma grenade I threw. He took out a big portion of my shield and took another marine with him. As you've probably guessed, everybody in the freaking area (including my idiotic marine squad) starts to shoot at me. I decide a more honorable death would not be to deny my enemies a kill by jumping off the cliff. That's the wussy way. I went into 'nade frenzy and started raining explosive death all around me. Nearly everyone in the premises (that wasn't on the structure with the big beam thingy) died. A couple of the smarter elites stomped me shortly afterwards All because of those idiots...

I got one that beats them ALLL

Assualt on the Control room, first encounter with a wraith...

I take out the elite before he gets to his ghost. I kill al the enemies around. I get in a ghost and head to the RL and sniper, I get out of the ghost, begin to stack up and a marine hops into my ghost. I thought "ok no big deal, ill get the other one" I begin to run to the other one and the marine FOLLOWS ME through the trees and rocks... He follows me to the other ghost and TRIES TO RUN ME OVER.. I'm not joking, this marine TRIED to kill me he kept comming at me. As I tried to get to the gohst he goes full speed right into me...needless to say I spent the next hour replaying that part killing the marines over and over and over and over....

Had to be on AotCR on Legendary co-op, when a marine got in a ghost and ran me over 5 times, after I respawned the last time I had it, I blew that marine, up with a rocket. It was so much fun to get revenge :)

I think I've seen that before, the marines trying to kill you with ghosts. Then they make their idiot comments afterwards like they were surprised. F****rs.

my dream feature of Halo 2 is to be able to give your Marines orders, like "dont fire", "spread out", "establish perimeter", "wait here", "grenade there", and "dont be a retard". I especially like the last order. once i got a checkpoint just as i was walking over a frag grenade that a marine threw. I couldnt get out of the way in time and had to restart level caused i keep reverting to it over and over and over and over......

you should be able to chew out marines and act like the drill sargeant in full metal jacket

a grunt threw a grenade right on mey back and i couldent reach it! i orderd ma'asha the blue elite to take the grenade off and to hurry cause he was right next to me. he got it off, threw it accidently, and then a jackal and his buddy goes flying! i reported to our leadership that he killed 2 jackals. he got executed.

hey, i'm part of the covenant, dont yap tp me about those rotten pathetic 'marines.'







if you really want to know, on the silent cartographer, on legendary, i was about to kill the last enemy on the beach, and my freinds dared me not to die, if i did, i could not play for a day, i was like "only a grunt left, haha!" then i heard the dreaded "frag out!" it landed at my feet, and blew me up. the next day, i tracked the guy down. i ran over him with a warhog, and his body got stuck in the engines and tires. i kept driving, whistling to the silent cartographer's theme song.

One time, I was driving a warthog, and a marine with 1 health jumped in. I "hit X to enter sideseat" to get him out, then he turned around and BAM!!!!!!! I left with 2 full health marines and left one dead one behind. That was THEIR worst experiance with me, and my worst one with them was when I ran was tired of them yelling "I'm a cowardly fool!!" so when they do that, well, I hear YOU KILLED BOB!!!!!! (or whatever name that punk goes by)
