Do we need marines in warzone?

Out of all the things in warzone I find the marines annoying as heck. They can see through camo, insta kill with nades, burst you down in milliseconds and are way too tanky if you cant headshot them

Yes I maybe being a little bit salty because they lead to my death recently, but in general I haven’t found any encounter that was really enriched by the presence of these guys, with their horrific inconsistency.

Now I think that marines should be in the home bases, but when it comes to other bases, and especially ones like the monument and fortress, they give defenders a much harder time to attack and can harras people outside the base aswell.

I’m just wondering what everyone’s thoughts are on our AI brethren and if its just me being salty or others agree.

TD;DR - Delete marines in bases, especially fortress and spire plz.

I think they are a nice touch… adds to the chaos.

They are fun to one shot kill, and so friendly. I always get a big boost in self esteem when they compliment my skills.

They get a big boost when I spartan charge them into the battlefield :wink:

Delete marines in bases? So someone can just stroll in and start capping immediately? No thanks.

Yeah, except there sometimes colossally slow to react. I want more marines, way more, add some odst’s aswell. Make it feel like a warzone.

Odsts would be pretty sick. They just drop pod in when you cap a base.

In their current state? No.

They just stand in one spot and die and the rarely have any impact on the map like other A.I. do. Maybe if they actually left the base and had larger numbers…

It’s a way to stop players being able to capture bases that don’t have anyone inside them, and gives time for the team to respond and return to defend the base. Plus they’re easy to kill and can be enjoyable to get a multi-kill on without missing a shot like something out of an old western film.

The point is that they stay in the base to stop/slow down attempted captures. They haven’t put them in to aid in gunfights (but they will occasionally do that).

They don’t add anything I think, unless you’re in the base while someone is trying to cap you won’t know anyone is there until it starts getting capped. Having the Marines there is just an OP place holder. Ya they die easily if you get the headshot but God forbid you try to sneak into a base and try to cap it since they can see through your camo and somehow seem to have a faster ttk with an AR than a Spartan.

Without the marines how are we going to do our commendations (spartan commendation & spartan company commendation) ?

Marines are fun! I love getting from the grave with them :slight_smile:

I love pushing them from the base and they just wander around the battlefield like lost mental patients.

I like the marines. It allows your team a bit of freedom to advance across the map without constantly worrying about losing their bases the minute they step out of them.

i would like to see marine and ODST squads going down “lanes” at each other kind like minions in LoL

I love them. Plus easy way to help level up req level in game.

I like the marines. They are mostly always vigilant.

The ai in warzone is just crappy and boring overall.

They’re just annoying, I’d like them gone.
