Can we also focus on the importance of marines?
In older games they played much more significant roles and I’d appreciate a return of having some focus on the marines, instead of them hardly being an asset in H5 and colored like power rangers.
I was thinking this same thing replaying the old games. There was a good mix of solo missions and also missions with a bunch of marines. My favorite missions all have marines in them.
I agree! There should be more focus on marines and their role in Halo 6. Halo 4 and 5 felt void of them.
I think there will be a bigger presence of marines. They were received well in Halo Wars 2 and the trailer for Infinite chose to focus on them as part of the demo. This doesn’t necessarily indicate anything, but the only other non-animal character shown was Chief himself. Plus, them being on a new ring, I don’t think they’d send out Chief all on his own even though he’s a badass.

It’s what made missions like Silent Cartographer or AOTCR so popular in H1, or The Ark or The Covenant in H3.
Yes more marines would be great. I miss hearing their commentary as I blew things up in a Scorpion.
I would love to see marines have a bigger role. I would rather have marines than a constant spartan squad
Hey, guys, there are already 2 marine focused threads that were active in the last fortnight you should prob move on over to https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/29568daf8cd14083bd1b70a810bf3581/topics/update-the-marine-mechanics/a50d4dd2-7bac-48ea-9359-12fa9dd9d1e1/posts?page=1#post8
Seeing more Marines and ODSTs would be a breath of fresh air. I get SIVs are stronger but that doesn’t mean do away with every other branch of the UNSC.

Exactly. And seeing other spartans should be a rarity, as there are only so many and are still somewhat special. But above the Spartan IVs are still the Spartan IIs in how special they are. This should also be recognized in Infinite.
I would wish that players could call the marines by themself. Just Imagine that you activate an upgradable skill which gives you first some marines, later odst and finaly spartan soldoers like in halo 4 which will come with an aircraft or through a door.
it would be also cool if players could call vehicles or call a weapon drop. For me the vest moments in halo were those where you just stepped in with 10 marines and let it rain bullets
I’d like marines, with DIALOGUE. 343 hasn’t given us that yet.
This is because 343 thinks that Halo now is like Avengers… only matter the Super Mega Hyper Spartans IV…
I agree, I miss doing a whole mission trying to keep a squad of marines alive and making hem all madly overpowered by giving them rocket/fuel rods/snipers to this day whenever I play the mission the covenant I do that!
I absolutely love the idea of Marines getting a little more significance in the campaign. We had rescue missions for them in Halo Combat Evolved and Halo 4 (Spartan Ops) and those were particularly fun. It would be pretty cool if they diversified our NPC allies as well, maybe even give us ODSTs, and other Spartans. Considering the circumstances faced on Installation 07, I could imagine a mission or two being about rescuing survivng allies.
I’d love for the marines to play a bigger role in the game but before they can play a real role I’d like for them to ACTUALLY BE USEFUL. Besides soaking bullets and aggro for me it would be nice for them to focus fire and intelligently pick targets instead of standing around screaming.
We can just make a new thread rather than necroing this one.
