Since Chief has “gone rouge” in Halo 5, there is a chance that we may not see much marine action in the game. That being said, marines will undoubtedly play some role.
I just wanted to know if you guys like the design of the Halo 4 marines, or would you like to see a change?
I personally found the Halo 4 marines to be pretty cool, but didn’t like the color scheme. The orange and green fatigues along with the white helmets and shine guards just seemed a bit out of place to me, and if I’m correct a lot of people started referring to them as “storm troopers.” I would prefer if the marines revert back to the grey and brownish color scheme from Halo CE Anniversary (/Reach) or just ditch the white and orange.
I really liked the marine designs from Halo 3, and prefer the brownish/olive green color scheme.
The Halo 4 marines were fine but like you said, they should change the color scheme on them, and also redesign the full-face helmet, it looks like a paintball helmet.
That’s a shame. I thought olive-drab was more fitting towards Chief’s character, but I guess I’ll have to get use to the idea of him wearing red and speaking french.
Halo 4 marines didn’t look very good. Many instances the designs were just strange. I’d prefer Halo 3 marines.
The marine designs in Halo 4 were dumb and the marines looked fat and the color scheme was lame, I liked Halo 3’s designs for the marines better but I’d rather much prefer something more like this
The pink undersuits was a bit much… I did appreciate their move to the more tactically useful MOLLE system for their gear. It’s a lot more modular than the semi-powered armor that they have had in the past. Like has been suggested, a simple color scheme update would fix most of the problems with them…

The problem I have with the MOLLE system is that it’s not very futuristic, I don’t think soldiers 500 years in the future will be using the same type of gear that modern day soldiers use. I prefer the use of the external metal plates. It seems more fitting and likely to absorb a plasma round than a MOLLE kevlar vest.
I would really like an updated version of what Halo 3 had. The Halo 4 Marines had this space trooper-ish look that didn’t look to well. I honestly think they looked silly. Like, c’mon! These are Marines! They need to look menacing in their armor, not cartoony.

This would be perfect
I also really like the “Cross-Com” and/or HUD device seen on the right (camera left) eye of the Halo CE Anniversary marines, and would like to see that back again.
I’d like Marines to look more like Reach’s Troopers.
Remember the occasional Green Trooper one can find typically on the mission “Tip of the Spear”? Marines should look more that. Super-detailed, badass, and reminiscent of Modern US trooper, with added futuristic gear, like Eyepieces, visors, and such.
H3 marines didn’t have enough detail for me to make a comparison, and Halo 4 Marines looked as if they were wearing Paintball gear, definitely not something i’d want to wear if i were fighting Covenant and Forerunners.
I want the Halo 3 or the Halo: Reach marines, I think there were different types so I’ll post the ones I mean, also Halo 4’s did look like “Trash” as some one else said lol.
I really like the Halo 3 one but Halo: Reach marines look pretty cool, I just want to fight along spartans again! something we never got to do until Halo 4! reach doesn’t count, I’m still pissed at kat for driving me off of every cliff possible…
I would like the halo reach marines, to me they look great in the time frame there in but instead of the tarnish brown they should be green . The halo 3 marines look to modern, halo 4 had some good looks with the space marines but the rest didn’t look good and the undersuits look ugly.
Halo 3 marines were the best in the series imo.
I also miss the days when marines were actually enjoyable companions in the campaign. In the first 3 Halos, marines weren’t completely useless; they had enough health to where they don’t die almost immediately, and they had some interesting/funny lines. They just felt like they were worth keeping alive; in Halo 3 I could recognize any voice actor who voiced the marines, because unlike recent Halos, Bungie actually hired people with talent to fill those roles.
Now in lol Reach and Halo 4, I could really care less. The marines are completely useless because they don’t have nearly enough health to do everything, and on top of the fact that the friendly AI seems to have gotten dumber ever since H3 doesn’t help much. I’d rather just kill them for their ammo than waste my effort in trading weapons with them, because I know they’re not going to do anything remotely productive. Not only, but their lines are so boring. There’s no more even remotely funny dialogue, and some of their lines are downright cringe-worthy.
I honestly don’t care how the marines look in Halo 5, as long as they look good. But for the love of god, 343, at least invest in some good friendly AI and voice talent for them.
