Playing as the grunts, under dogs, the canon fodder. As far as I know, marines have never been portrayed well in ANY game, I think it’s time we get to see what they’re made of.
I loved the Halo 3/ODST Marine designs, but the Halo 4 designs are pretty awesome too.
I image it’d feel like ODST, where you’re limited, except with the new Halo 4/5 movement (running, clambering slower than Spartans, sliding, etc.) You have health packs again and a cool upgraded Marine visor would be cool, oh and bio-foam canisters to revive team mates.
Just instead of ODST being alone, you’d be in a group and controlling fellow soldiers like Halo 5. Facing against the remaining Covenant and Promethean’s, maybe some small flood on a distant Halo
Cool idea, but I’d prefer a spinoff about Lockes bounty hunting days. Same idea- not as fast or powerful as Spartans, med packs, etc. It’d be a great way to open up the criminal underworld universe of halo that’s often referenced, but rarely explored
Makes me think of the AvP game. Playing as Aliens and Predators is good fun and all, but the combined thrill and terror while playing as a Marine was definitely the best part for me.

But with Locke it’d be all secrecy and ONI like, I’d honestly perfer fighting on Requiem or something.

I’m not sure about so much armor customization honestly, color and weapons perhaps

No, Locke was a free lance bounty hunter before he became ONI. He didn’t work for anyone

I’m still waiting for stealth based game on high charity where you’re an escaping marine prisoner and the flood are invading. It will have hardly any combat as anything more than a couple of grunts would kill you head on, but it would be really interesting and I feel high charity is such a cool location that just gets thrown away as soon as it appears.

I’d love a Marine game. Something that reminds me of Bad Company 2 where you have a few characters that you can really bond with over the course of the game. There really are only a few Marine characters that really had that degree of memorability.
Footsoldiers would allow a bit more experimentation with weapons and customization since these are regular men and women, not half ton killing machines. Slower moving, tactical gameplay a la Ghost Recon would allow you to realize how much you take that MJOLNIR for granted.
Oh, and make it hard. Marines in the books got cut down quickly by plasma and whatnot. Inject a little danger. Upset the established order.
It would be great for 343i to release an “ODST” style game similar to the H3ODST for H5 down the line. Or just make it between the release of its main story games. Being ODST you’ll have a lot bigger canvas to work with along side marines and be able to focus and bring newer characters to light. Similar to Buck’s rise to Spartandom.
I’ve always wanted a game were you play the Marines fighting the insurrectionists, or like Star Wars Battlefront 2 in the Halo universe were you can choose a marine ODST, or Spartan 4 then have Chief, Locke Johnson etc as “heroes”. Same would go for the Covenant Flood and Prometheans.
