Where did the old marines go. They had the best one liners and the best voices actors to do the voices. I mean up to halo reach they were almost as loveable as our beloved cheif.
Yeah I miss the Marines. It actually made you feel like you were the S-II that could tip the balance in H1-3. Reach was similar with the Army Troopers but you knew they would fall. ODST’s are badass in their own armour but you still felt the way you did with the Marines in H1-3.
H4 the S-IV’s terrible AI made you feel superior though technically, the S-IV’s are far better equipped than the average Marine/ODST. H5 did away with Marines altogether, which I suppose because you have your ‘squad’ always there, the Marines are a little bit redundant. That said, your squad AI in H5 is atrocious, and you no longer feel like a Spartan super soldier because you’re simply just another Spartan. Without the Marines around, you are literally just another Spartan, nothing special.
I’d like to see the Marines/ODST’s return in H6, hopefully to return that feel of how Spartan’s can turn the tide of the ‘new war’.
I remember the funniest line in halo 1 was walking around the pillar of autumn to the 2 marines who get excited and say wow a mark V! Right when a plasma grenades blows them away
