I remember one of the times I played The Storm in Halo 3, during the Hunter section, I turned around after they spawned to deal with some Brutes I had somehow missed and when I turned back both Hunters were dead and there was a Marine with a shotgun standing over one of the bodies. I have no idea what the hell happened but that Marine definitely became a Spartan-IV because holy fuck
The Halo CE Sniper Marines were amazing, if you got one into the side seat of the warthog, they would rapid fire with that sniper with insane precision, form a huge distance.
I honestly liked fighting alongside the civilians during Halo Reach, Halo 3 and ODST, and Halo 5. They function like the Marines but they give a new perspective on the fights you take part in. Also you forgot the Militia from Halo Reach's mission Nightfall. They still functioned like the Marines, Troopers, Airmen, and ODSTs in the game. Fighting alongside Elites Grunts and Jackels in Halo 2, 3, ODST, and 5 was so cool too since you're not with Marines and stuff so you can see the Elites perspective of the fights you're in.
@Commander Cody You are "That Guy" for not understanding what I meant. You know what I meant so I shouldn't need to explain something everyone should know.
@@inductivegrunt94 bro I ain't having a go at you all I'm saying is I don't recall ever fighting alongside with the Grunts or Jacakals in Halo 3, ODST, and 5
So about kats driving in reach, she'll try to drive loosely in the direction of your reticle, so as she makes the 130 point turn a lot of times that is cause by you moving your reticle where she's trying to turn around from
That's if you're IN the same vehicle she's driving, one time on sword base I had her in a Revenant and I was out to hit buttons, and an elite was on one side of me, and Kat was on the other, and she chose to run the elite over...
CE guilty spark sucks as an ally. Teleports you far away from the Index, abandons you to unlock doors (meanwhile Flood are just moving freely through the vents), and doesn't use his weaponry at all until Halo 3
Just a point of detail, in Reach you don't really see Marines till the Pilar of Autumn level (the guys with the clear visor MP helmets are marines. Everyone else is an Army Trooper. But that's splitting hairs.
@@tylerellis9097 Are you sure? I dont think Specialist is a rank in the army. But it is one in the Airforce. But, I think theres a higher chance it's a naval aviator
@@USSCYT pretty much every NPC in reach is UNSC army units. Which is odd since Army units were mentioned in EU lore but we never see them except Reach. It's why you don't have any of the standard gear as the Army units in the UNSC didn't really need the more advanced gear. UNSC army is used as garrisons on planets so 2,3, and ODST should have em too.
9:44 This automatically puts you on the list for worst Halo allies 10:49 How my mom describes me to other family members 14:06 Since Chief can no longer ping pong around in a escape pod to murder all other marines, he had to get creative
Halo 3 Marines are easily my favourite, but that’s mostly because how their AI works Accidentally kill a marine on Halo CE and the remaining marines will be hostile forever, basically forcing you to fight them, but in Halo 3 if they turn on you just hide and they’ll eventually forgive you. You can basically just kill as many as you’d like and no longer will accidentally splatting two of them be as much as a problem as it used to be. You can even completely clear crows nest now, although it’s still difficult
Ha one the funnest experiences I had on Xbox days my buddy accidentally ran over two marines when going into the final building to kill the scarab. He got instantly mowed down by the others. No hesitation on their part lmao.
3:02 "Dude, that's an elite, but he's supposed to be on our side, what do we do?" "...Pretend it's the Chief and roll with it?" "You're an idiot. But whatever, works for me."
Halo 3 (at least in my opinion) had the best allies over all. They seemed balanced against the Covenant. Also, this is often forgotten but you actually can have Covenant allies in Reach. It's only seen in Firefight Versus. They performed ok though getting them in a Rocket Warthog on Beachhead or Unearthed was dumb since their rockets would home on the Spartans.
Twice I hav3 had the ultimate unsc Ally following me, the first time was on the halo 3 mission, The Covenant, where the odst with red shoulders survived the ENTIRE mission and he killed SO many enemies, he also destroyed a tank, 2 ghosts, a chopper, and several banshees. While surviving it all on legendary difficulty. The second time was in halo infinite, where an average looking marine just hopped on the back of my mongoose, well this man was definitely not average, he killed maybe just as many enemies as I did on heroic difficulty, destroyed multiple different vehicles, saved 3 squads of soldiers, and by the end of it he was practically a spartan it felt like, he stuck with me for an hour and a half. But sadly, gold doesn't last forever, my game very sadly crashed and I lost him. 😢 Luckily though both of these soldiers technically didn't die, so maybe they retired in peace, as HEROS.
Vale came in such clutch on a meridian mission hold out section where she saved me and my friend 3 times and allowed us to complete it. Tanaka was utterly useless in all missions though 😂
Always had special experience with allies, that is actually my favorite part from Halo series. I was so addicted to them that I even re-played that one Halo 4 level which you will get a couple of marines fighting along side with you. My favorite level is that Halo 2 mission somewhere at the beginning, I managed to drive my Warthog onto the Scarab in the end. The marine on the machine gun killed every enemies on top of the scarab.
Both Luke and Elijah are so powerful as a duo. Elijah has an energetic voice and quick wit, Luke has a soothing calm voice and dry humor. Usually when I watch RUclips videos and they change the format with a new person delivering the dialog, it takes me off guard... But for your channel, both of you work so well together, and I love every time you two are featured.
First time playing Halo 3 with my sister, we got to the level where you teamed up with the flood. We didn't really pay attention to the cutscene, maybe we skipped it, but we ended up just killing all the flood we saw until we saw they were our allies. Cool thing is I don't think they ever turned on us.
Oh you also had the gold shield jackal stay alive;that jackal just refuses to die whenever I'm running that mission. Me and my friends even nicknamed they guy 'Bulwark' as we have yet to see his shield pop.
Hey guys ! Love your vids, regardless of the current situation of the franchise, we all really appreciate your commitment to the content. Thanks heaps. I watch ya'll daily.
I was playing spartan ops in halo 4. I don’t remember the exact level because it’s been a while but it’s the level where you’re battling on the Infinite and you have to defend the hanger bay. I was playing on legendary and had a sword ultra charging me up the ramp. As I popped his shield, I had to reload. Realistically, he probably needed 1 more DMR round to kill him. As I backpedaled for time, a marine stepped to the top of the ramp and blasted this sword elite with the butt of his assault rifle. Never even fired a shot. The sword ultra died instantly, since he was so damaged, and somersaulted down the ramp. Most bad ass marine I have seen in any halo.
In Canon, the marine you said looks like sergeant Johnson in CE On Halo IS, in the book the Flood he's identified as him and says the same lines he does in game.
The cool thing about CE Marines is they will get demoralized if you are losing the fight. But if you are kicking ass they get more confident and throw more grenades.
@@NYG5 Halo 2 marines have a similar system coded in if im not misunderstanding the mod tools. They have a timid, normal and aggressive parameters for things like chasing a target, taking cover, shooting etc. If they are in a stronger position they will be more aggressive, especially when talking about numerical advantage and the opponents "scariness" level. The issue is when the marines are given the ai order to follow a player, they will choose to stay near the player even if it will put themselves at great risk, which throughout the game, theyre told to do a lot. That is to say, if you betray the marines in metropolis after the city center fight, and you saved as many marines as possible, you will notice how aggressive they are in chasing you down, as they will likely have a large numerical advantage and not accounting for the fact that they may have vehicles around they may be using, but if you betray marines on a level like cairo or regret in areas where they dont have numbers, you will notice they will take cover a lot more often and be more passive. I have actually modded a personal map of quarantine zone to have marine combat encounters and they are more aggressive than most enemy types in the game. If you could not head shot a marine, id say they'd be the most difficult enemy to kill in the game, but luckily the BR and carbine are great at taking them out.
CE marines do not have a morale system tied to the player, that is a myth. No halo Game has that. Only starting with Halo 3 do they even have morale combat mechanics tied to Sergeants and Arbiter but still the not the player
@@tylerellis9097 I thought the rank was just to determine which ai marine was the leader of a squad, so they'd be the ones yelling orders. I didn't think morale had a factor in it, the marines don't seem affected by the squad leader dying, but this seems to be the case in every game, marines in halo 2 don't seem affected by the player dying besides saying a voice line
Halo 3 always had my favourite Allies especially when you could throw a rocket or Spartan Laser on them. I always tried to keep them alive as long as possible. Marines on both The Covenant and The Ark with Infinite laser are extremely useful on higher difficulties. Fun video!
Fun fact, you don’t have any marine allies in Halo 5 or Halo Reach. In Halo 5 the humans that help you are the private militia of Meridian, and in Halo Reach, all the “marines” are actually members of the army, not the navy.
No, you do have marine allies at the end of Reach. They are wearing different uniforms from the Army troopers you play with a majority of the game. Also the ODSTs are attached to the Marines so those are marines you fight alongside too.
@@RepublicTrooper125 Still disappointed that bungie gave every ally in reach a damage debuff, and if you were wondering why it seems like reach marine ai cant kill anything, ai in general have a damage debuff to other ai on top of the human weapons damage debuffs, so yeah... Thats why on legendary a trooper with a rocket cant even kill the weakest elite in 1 hit. its like their guns are useless
@@RepublicTrooper125 Oh yeah you are right, I completely forgot about that (And yeah, I wasn’t counting ODST as marines but as their own thing) Haven’t played Reach in a while.
me rolling up to the function in a razorback with my 5 marine oomfies equipped with arcane sentinel beams (we are going to turn the Banished into the Vanished)
I've had instances on heroic and legendary that the workers kill the hunters by themselves in halo 3. I actually found this out on accident when I went AFK. Big respect to them boys.
The effectiveness of any allies depends a lot on their weapon. A squad of 4+ battle rifles is nearly unstoppable. Allies with precision weapons aim for the head with unbelievable accuracy. Elites have a tough time when they're outnumbered and brutes are a joke.
I always love fighting beside ODSTs and I always try my best to make sure they stay alive. Don’t get me wrong I do the same with Marines but ODSTs are cooler and rarer so it makes it easier
A pretty cool thing I discovered on data hive, if you don’t kill the NMPD guy and complete the rest of the mission, Buck and Dare will become “enemies” and will try to kill you.
You guys forgot that in halo reach firefight you can change teams and play as an elite alongside the covenant forces against other people playing firefight as Spartans. So you can have convenient ally’s in reach.
The spartans napping is a reference to the spartans never die they only go MIA now we know what they mean they just decide to take random naps in the middle of the battlefields and play dead lol.
In Halo 3 the covenant mission there was a marine that me and a friend gave a fuel rod gun from killing one of the brutes in the beginning of the level. I figured after you go up the first spire he would just despawn or get killed along the way but after going back down the spire he was still there fighting the covenant. We jokingly called him the chosen one. We flew that marine to the next spire, completed that and he stayed with us through the rest of the level. Once we got to the two scarabs we lost him, defeated all the enemies and sure enough, he comes walking up to us. We gave the chosen one a hornet as a gift, he took it, crashed into us then flew off. I had no idea they could go through the entire level but man that was awesome. wish he could have gone inside the control room with us and fought along side the flood as well.
The halo infinite marines are what allied Spartans should've been. You give a squad of them snipers and they will refuse to let you get close to any covenant. I had one take a random long range shot at some vegetation off in the distance and I thought it was a misfire until he bragged about getting a heads hot and the other marines congratulating him. On my may over to see what he killed the rest of them are lighting this place up and when I finally get there just nothing but dead brutes lol
7:15 I mean while in odst you don’t have shields I personally would class the regen system as a shields as it recharges and stop your health from lower as well being affected by black eye.
Fun fact in Halo 2 legendary if you give a Jackal ally a sniper or carbine they will have the same inhuman accuracy of the Jackal snipers plus their shield for extra defense.
the halo CE marines when ever their is a ghost nearby are my bane. the amount of times they will jump in a ghost and just drive in front of you and take your perfectly lined up rocket shot aimed at wraiths is insane, i think they are coded to drive in front of you so they advance through the canyon with you on assault on the control room but it just causes them to block every shot your trying to make
Ah, I see you are not a fan of the power trip that is a razorback full of marines with powers weapons... I do recommend you trying to give all marines in a razorback shotguns though. Surprisingly effective.
I seriously can’t stand the Marines on infinite. I ditch them as soon as I can. If they follow I do everything to shake them. I’ve never done that in Halo until that game. I was overall disappointed with it. The fact that Cortana’s story was ended basically just by watching it ruined it for me and the weapon did not feel like a good replacement. She was far more annoying than I ever felt Cortana was.
I agree with you the marines suck especially in vehicles (rocket launcher marines ) they allways blow me up when i try to ram something and the weapon makes me want to shove nerf darts in every Orpheus in my body then use a cheese grater on my kneecaps and my elbows
!!!YOU DIDN"T MENTION THE HUNTER ALLIES IN HALO 2!!! All allies are appreciated. Ones that stand out: specific Thel 'Vadam (The arbiter) My favorite character in the entire franchise. Exuberant witness I find her to be EXTREMELY cute. She is everything Guilty Spark wanted to be but never was. general: Allied covenant, especially hunters. Construction workers from halo 3, those guys are brave! (and very good shots!) All marines, but ESPECIALLY the marine from H4 who takes a Promethean knight with him via grenade after getting stabbed through the chest! All passengers/gunners, operating vehicles would have been a lot less effective without them (just don't let them drive!) The teammates from teams Noble, Osiris, and Blue.
Halo 2 has the best Marines hands down. They basically carried me through the level Regret after I gave them sniper rifles. On Outskirts if you play it right you can have 4 or 5 marines all with snipers and beam rifles melting everything in front of you. Halo 3's marines were mostly meh, but the ODSTs at the start of the Ark will do some serious work if you give them power weapons.
Oh dude the workers on halo 3… I always over equipped them with EVERY weapon I found, and I made an army and I would just sit and wait and eventually they would overpower the covenant and absolutely DESTROY them by the anti air gun
In Infinite you can splatter your marines with vehicles and objects or you can place them right where a vehicle gets dropped off at the FOB's and test their agility...😈
@@halinaqi2194 Beam rifles and carbines are harder to come by. Besides, Halo 2's marines focus their fire enough to consistently land super combos. Needlers in Halo 3, sadly will not super combo from multiple needlers.
@@puddel9079 you can bring a beam rifle with you from the beginning area, there is 2 beam rifles in a crate right before you take the lift to the prison section (just push it down the lift), so you have 3 by the time you release the marines out, you can get 2 more at the first outdoor area. There are 4 carbines in crate in the prison section alone, its not too difficult. On legendary, which I play 99% of the time, needlers wont work, since enemies kill way too fast, carbines will headshot most enemy types real quick, and beam rifles will melt enemies and stun lock them. Needlers are fun, ngl, i also some times screw around with giving them 5 brute plasma rifles. but yeah h3 needlers are strong but the ai fire way too slow with them.
@@puddel9079 Bruh gravemind is filled with nothing but Beam Rifles and carbines once you get the marines. 5 Needlers is a unique and Viable strat though
Theyre just challenge points to try and keep alive through your playthroughs. ARs become very niche, player only weapons on legendary and marines get trapped in stunlock when every grunt and jackal has a plasma machine pistol. If you can glitch extra marines on Truth and Reconciliation they can help a lot on the gravity lift since they will actually have some numbers on their side.
Logically speaking for the marines in halo infinite. It would be reasonable to believe that only the best soldiers in the UNSC survived and over the 6 months while trying to hold out from the banished, thus seeing the marines be absolute Chads
I know it really makes no difference and probably no one cares but the Allies in Halo Reach are actually Army Troopers until there are a mix of Troopers and Marines in Pillar of Autumn

me rolling up to the function in a razorback with my 5 marine oomfies equipped with arcane sentinel beams (we are going to turn the Banished into the Vanished)
now the civilians in CE has a reason for being so crap due to having less hp so anything even a wimsy slap will kill em
In halo reach I had an odst named t. Brady, which I thought was a reference to Tom Brady
I've had instances on heroic and legendary that the workers kill the hunters by themselves in halo 3. I actually found this out on accident when I went AFK. Big respect to them boys.
Can’t believe you completely missed Halo 2s hunters, as well the Halo Reach fire fight fight allies on the covenant side
The effectiveness of any allies depends a lot on their weapon. A squad of 4+ battle rifles is nearly unstoppable. Allies with precision weapons aim for the head with unbelievable accuracy. Elites have a tough time when they're outnumbered and brutes are a joke.
Thanks for the amazing vid love hearing you Luke and Elijah
I always love fighting beside ODSTs and I always try my best to make sure they stay alive. Don’t get me wrong I do the same with Marines but ODSTs are cooler and rarer so it makes it easier
I hate the Halo 3 Floodgate elites so god damn much, I actually can't count how many times they've betrayed me with hail mary stickies
Spec Ops Elite moment
“130 point turn”
The elites on floodgate will throw grenades like crazy and I've been killed by them in the past
Spec Ops Elite moment
A pretty cool thing I discovered on data hive, if you don’t kill the NMPD guy and complete the rest of the mission, Buck and Dare will become “enemies” and will try to kill you.
You guys forgot that in halo reach firefight you can change teams and play as an elite alongside the covenant forces against other people playing firefight as Spartans. So you can have convenient ally’s in reach.
On Infinite I give all the Marines Arcane Sentinel Beams, pile em into a Razorback, and drive around wrecking shop. We're called Melty Squad.
They really gotta add driver's ed to UNSC basic training.
Nice and crispy sound that isn't breaking my headphones! Thank you so much!
Everyone making fun of the marines until ones in the gauss turret
The spartans napping is a reference to the spartans never die they only go MIA now we know what they mean they just decide to take random naps in the middle of the battlefields and play dead lol.
Always loved getting run down by marines in 2.
In Halo 3 the covenant mission there was a marine that me and a friend gave a fuel rod gun from killing one of the brutes in the beginning of the level. I figured after you go up the first spire he would just despawn or get killed along the way but after going back down the spire he was still there fighting the covenant. We jokingly called him the chosen one. We flew that marine to the next spire, completed that and he stayed with us through the rest of the level. Once we got to the two scarabs we lost him, defeated all the enemies and sure enough, he comes walking up to us. We gave the chosen one a hornet as a gift, he took it, crashed into us then flew off.
I had no idea they could go through the entire level but man that was awesome. wish he could have gone inside the control room with us and fought along side the flood as well.
Halo 2 Grunts with plasma rifles on Sacred Icon or the Marines with Beam Rifles on Gravemind.
I can't believe "the hunters have come to our aid" in Halo 2 wasn't mentioned at all
The ODSTS at the beginning of the covenant are goats when you put the 2 spartan lasers in their hands
Unarmored dude gets shot in the head at point blank: "omg guyz he died in just one shot!"
The best allies are the elites on "Sacred Icon" that have carbines. Nothing can change my mind. Those chads are so useful
So glad someone said this. On Legendary speedruns they can change the pace at the end so much so that you could get a new PB just by them being there
The halo infinite marines are what allied Spartans should've been. You give a squad of them snipers and they will refuse to let you get close to any covenant. I had one take a random long range shot at some vegetation off in the distance and I thought it was a misfire until he bragged about getting a heads hot and the other marines congratulating him. On my may over to see what he killed the rest of them are lighting this place up and when I finally get there just nothing but dead brutes lol
7:15 I mean while in odst you don’t have shields I personally would class the regen system as a shields as it recharges and stop your health from lower as well being affected by black eye.
I personally confirm you can kill Infinite marines...
Uhh the best ally is in halo 2 on sacred icon when the grunt says "Arbiter our saviour! Stupid jackal say thank you!"
The best way to make any ally npcs useful is to give them power weapons once they're low on ammo.
Fun fact in Halo 2 legendary if you give a Jackal ally a sniper or carbine they will have the same inhuman accuracy of the Jackal snipers plus their shield for extra defense.
I’ve rinsed halo 3 to death and never in my days have I seen a flood tank form spawn infection forms in. That’s mad
the halo CE marines when ever their is a ghost nearby are my bane. the amount of times they will jump in a ghost and just drive in front of you and take your perfectly lined up rocket shot aimed at wraiths is insane, i think they are coded to drive in front of you so they advance through the canyon with you on assault on the control room but it just causes them to block every shot your trying to make
11:04 bro looks like HiddenXperia
OORAH another Rocket Sloth video 😎
I love so much that the video has started 20 seconds in. And you haven’t rambled about garbage no one cares about!
Tbh yeah, I love the Infinite Marines. I always force them to have guns like the BR and MA40, cuz those guns are a nice combo. Idc what they say
Ah, I see you are not a fan of the power trip that is a razorback full of marines with powers weapons...
I do recommend you trying to give all marines in a razorback shotguns though. Surprisingly effective.
@@Destroyer_V0 it never felt effective for me. Plus the range
@@dj11o9er Range is def a problem for all shotguns, won't lie there.
I seriously can’t stand the Marines on infinite. I ditch them as soon as I can. If they follow I do everything to shake them. I’ve never done that in Halo until that game. I was overall disappointed with it. The fact that Cortana’s story was ended basically just by watching it ruined it for me and the weapon did not feel like a good replacement. She was far more annoying than I ever felt Cortana was.
I agree with you the marines suck especially in vehicles (rocket launcher marines ) they allways blow me up when i try to ram something and the weapon makes me want to shove nerf darts in every Orpheus in my body then use a cheese grater on my kneecaps and my elbows
He forgot how in firefight versus you can play as an elite to kill your friends, so you technically get covenant allies in reach
Halo CE Marines with a sniper riding passenger in a hog have Godly aimbot.
You cannot only kill marines in Infinite by running them off a cliff, but can actually just run them over.
In Halo 2 on the easiest difficulty I used to try super hard to keep every team of marines or Elites alive
Rockets and fire nades when working with the flood. No spare bodies and no trust
Does anyone knows the name of the song thats been played at 1:30?
New video idea: rank every halo book based solely on the cover art
!!!YOU DIDN"T MENTION THE HUNTER ALLIES IN HALO 2!!!
All allies are appreciated. Ones that stand out: specific
Thel 'Vadam (The arbiter) My favorite character in the entire franchise.
Exuberant witness I find her to be EXTREMELY cute. She is everything Guilty Spark wanted to be but never was.
general:
Allied covenant, especially hunters.
Construction workers from halo 3, those guys are brave! (and very good shots!)
All marines, but ESPECIALLY the marine from H4 who takes a Promethean knight with him via grenade after getting stabbed through the chest!
All passengers/gunners, operating vehicles would have been a lot less effective without them (just don't let them drive!)
The teammates from teams Noble, Osiris, and Blue.
Halo 2 has the best Marines hands down. They basically carried me through the level Regret after I gave them sniper rifles. On Outskirts if you play it right you can have 4 or 5 marines all with snipers and beam rifles melting everything in front of you.
Halo 3's marines were mostly meh, but the ODSTs at the start of the Ark will do some serious work if you give them power weapons.
Oh dude the workers on halo 3…
I always over equipped them with EVERY weapon I found, and I made an army and I would just sit and wait and eventually they would overpower the covenant and absolutely DESTROY them by the anti air gun
I’ve always wanted a “easiest laso missions” video, no one has made one
I think we all know what halo reach mission should win
On the storm, I gave a civilian my rocket launcher and he carried lmao
Is this where I should mention that Sgt Johnson shot me with his Spartan Laser on the structure at the end of halo 3? … twice??
In Infinite you can splatter your marines with vehicles and objects or you can place them right where a vehicle gets dropped off at the FOB's and test their agility...😈
Halo 2, equip all the marines on High Charity with needlers, they'll tear up anything through most of the level.
you are better off giving them 5 beam rifles, they will handle every jackal sniper and more.
@@halinaqi2194 Beam rifles and carbines are harder to come by. Besides, Halo 2's marines focus their fire enough to consistently land super combos. Needlers in Halo 3, sadly will not super combo from multiple needlers.
@@puddel9079 you can bring a beam rifle with you from the beginning area, there is 2 beam rifles in a crate right before you take the lift to the prison section (just push it down the lift), so you have 3 by the time you release the marines out, you can get 2 more at the first outdoor area. There are 4 carbines in crate in the prison section alone, its not too difficult. On legendary, which I play 99% of the time, needlers wont work, since enemies kill way too fast, carbines will headshot most enemy types real quick, and beam rifles will melt enemies and stun lock them. Needlers are fun, ngl, i also some times screw around with giving them 5 brute plasma rifles.
but yeah h3 needlers are strong but the ai fire way too slow with them.
@@puddel9079 Bruh gravemind is filled with nothing but Beam Rifles and carbines once you get the marines.
5 Needlers is a unique and Viable strat though
14:10 you can actually run them over and crush them with vehicles that u call in
You should do one for all Halo bosses and even better, weapons
Marines on Halo CE Legendary are no more than momentary distractions for the Covenant before they all focus their fire on you
Theyre just challenge points to try and keep alive through your playthroughs. ARs become very niche, player only weapons on legendary and marines get trapped in stunlock when every grunt and jackal has a plasma machine pistol.
If you can glitch extra marines on Truth and Reconciliation they can help a lot on the gravity lift since they will actually have some numbers on their side.
Logically speaking for the marines in halo infinite. It would be reasonable to believe that only the best soldiers in the UNSC survived and over the 6 months while trying to hold out from the banished, thus seeing the marines be absolute Chads
halo is life halo is love
You forgot the Rebels on the Reach Sniper level
I do not remember an auto sentry equipment in halo 3?? It's been a long time but that did not look familiar at all
I know it really makes no difference and probably no one cares but the Allies in Halo Reach are actually Army Troopers until there are a mix of Troopers and Marines in Pillar of Autumn
Reach doesn't have Marines, they're part of the UNSC Army. Marines are stationed on ships.
Flood in firefight?! I did not know about that
