Have you ever started a fight with marines? If yes, notice how they fight very well but not against the Covenant? Me and my friend were playing on co-op, and we met the group of marines on the end of 343GS. So he decided to shoot this marine in the face with his shotgun, thus starting a big fight. He didnt even survive for 10 seconds, the shotgunner marines made little trouble of him. So i backed up and threw a couple grenades and finished the rest of the marines with my AR. But i only had 1 health bar left when we were done. Crazy!

Ok, try killing captain keyes. byeeee.......

I think that's just cuz the marines generally have you pretty much surrounded as opposed to running at a large group of covenant like most battles. Or maybe just because I like making sure my plasma nades get the marine's faces so they can dance indefinitely.

The marines are better against you...theyre coded to fight you with the same damage levels as the covies. Plus, marines with shotguns and snipers tend to do more damage.
