Before I get to the topic of this post, I would just like to say that Halo CEA is a success in my book. I know that the pistol settings aren’t accurate, but I don’t think that’s enough to ruin the game, like the majority of the complainers on this forum. Trolls will be trolls, and whiners will always whine, I guess.
Anyway, to my question.
The new feature that they added in Firefight to CEA is the ability to have marine AIs aid you in battle during single-player mode. Now, what I am curious about is simple, do you only get 1 measly set of marines during the entire Firefight match, or can I adjust the settings, like you can with the Wave Priorities? I mean, I did a few minutes of Firefight and I saw the marines, but within about 2 seconds they all got manhandled and that was that. So, can you adjust marine Ai settings, or is there maybe something you have to do in-game to make more marines come to your aid?
I tried looking through some of the settings, but they just seemed to be the Reach settings.
It’s going to be a letdown if the only marines you get are the few that spawn at the very beginning. I understand it’s a survival style mode, but they don’t really do much to help anyway, it’s just the idea that they are there that brings it for me. The idea that it’s a big battle for survival, not just an ambush 1 vs xxx amount.
I’ve searched and searched, but I can’t find any insight on this.

I get the feeling like you get reinforcement ODST’s in a weapon drop. Haven’t played yet though so I’m not certain.
As far as tweaking the settings goes you won’t be able to b/c 343 announced that they couldn’t change the interface for custom options. So whatever they’re at, they’re stuck on. The only things you can alter are the same things you can in regular Reach firefight settings.
