they literally do nothing except get in my way when I’m trying to boost away from enemy fire, stopping me and killing me, and they walk in front of you while you’re shooting at the enemy so you can shoot them
they are so useless, why are the still in the game
Still more useful than a bad team.
If you are defending a base alone against 2 or 3 enemies, they can be quite a useful distraction.
Like that ever happens. They don’t block a spartan, you’d slide to either the marine’s front or back. They are not walls.
Also imagine WZ with the core/ bases that have no defense other than players. Just people running in, standing there a few seconds and quickly going out again, with no obstacles whatsoever? The core would be a lot easier to destroy, just blindly firing at it as long as there’s no enemy spartan around. With respawning marines however, it gets a lot more difficult. And that’s what they are there for, not for blocking people’s thrusters (which they don’t anyway).
They’re cool to have and fun to shoot. They’re here to stay.
It is embarrassing to get killed by Marines.
they arnt useless
they do what they are mean’t too
Lolololololol, sounds like someone got owned by the AI marines!
They’re pretty useful meat shields. I like em.
They finish off weakened enemies pretty well. If you take on a man or two and don’t quite get the kill they’ll finish him off and give it to you.
I would like like being able to swap weapons with them. Here have these rockets, Dave I’m done with them for now

That would be pretty cool to swap weapons. Could you imagine trying to solo cap an armory, and then there’s Dave with his SPNKR? That would be quite the surprise.
Ever flew with a banshee directly over the spire wile 6 marines with godlike accuracy shoot at you? It is almost an instakill.

I think that is the equivalent of a suicide grunt 
I’ve been killed by marines many times while trying to capture a base solo…but if u got a br head shot them it’s that simple

It’s a good thing they can’t hijack your banshee.
But what I don’t understand is they deal massive amounts of damage. Like if a marine has a AR a couple shots and your dead…but when your trying to kill a spartan with a AR it doesn’t kill you as fast. I really dont understand this

They have perfect aim, while we, we are only human.

I think this is mostly because (just like the elites with storm rifles) they have almost no spread. They basicly shoot a straight line.

Probably to make Marines more dangerous as such. It’d be pretty pointless to have Grunt-levelled Marines who just provide a tiny distraction.
That and they’ve clearly got a buff like marines in CE if you kill them too much as punishment for your betrayals
