If Marines Could Be Useful..

Had an idea today while playing Warzone. I was playing Turbo and I finally used up some of my Random Vehicle REQs, Kept getting Warthogs but nobody to be the gunner for me, so here is what I think should be added.

An option to select a Marine from home base to be your Gunner and/or Passenger. The Vehicles have a Blue Reticle, this could be used to aim at the Marine you want to get in, this would bring up a quick prompt by pressing or holding a bumper and selecting a seat option.
The AI already have aiming/shooting coded into the game, and this seems like an “easy” addition to the game. Aditionaly this would count as kills for your player, The accuracy or the marines could be tweaked to be more or less to ake it a fair option in PVP.
I think it would add a lot for players who don’t have anyone to shoot for them and encourage more Mongoose and Warthog use.

TL;DR Marines used as Passengers that can shoot for you in Warzone.

Your Thoughts?

Yeah it could work you would have to adjust there accuracy for balance reasons but not a bad idea

I always used marine gunners, because they are terrible drivers.

Indeed, with players fearing the friendly warthog becoming an overkill for the enemy team it would only make sense for Marines to fill the seats on multiple carrier vehicles.

Sarcasm? lol I do see the eventual 12 Warthog Assault on Home Base, but that has to be easier to kill than 12 Scorpions.

Man, I’ve got whooped by a few marines lol

I know right, you think you have cleared an armory when POP! killed by a Marine :smiley: these guys need to be loaded in a transport hog!!

I once kidnapped a marine in front of my Scorpion from Home Base and pushed him all the way into the tunnel on Apex, where he proceeded to do work on some enemy AI

This would actually be quite awesome to see, I was convinced this was going to be a thread saying Marines in bases were useless and should be removed. I’d love to have AI gunners as an option since I regularly play solo so having the option to actually be able to use a warthog effectively on my own would be cool.

Good idea but why. All it takes is one bullet to the head and your gunner is gone

And if they shoot like they did in the campaign (which they will) it would be hard to get kills. This could work better in Warzone Firefight, though.

Ok, I so gotta try this.

Marine AI would be easy to shoot off. On the flip side, they are Aimbot. Also never have AI driving me in anything, they have no sense of danger.

I agree with this, but make the gunner AI a spartan. You know like the ones from halo 4. Because marines would be too easy to headshot.

This ^ or the Vehicles could add armor or health to the Marines if they are on board.

I wish we could use our lesser reqs and give them to marines, plasma pistols everywhere!

^ Im sure that wouldn’t be impossible, It in the campaign.

Allow marines to have weapons traded to them. Give a Marine a Sniper Rifle, allow him to become your passenger… headshots for days. That one marine helped me pass CE’s second mission on Legendary.

I just want to know why they are so attached to those ARs. I’m willing to give them rockets and they just won’t take them.

We need this rolled out with the next Update! Help our fellow Marines in the Defense of our Core!
