Go Arbiter. I’ll follow when reinforcements arrive

You just gonna act like Kat didn't exist?!

@@1celess what's the first hardest?

@@1celess Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think he was talking about outskirts I think he was talking about halo 2 in general.

Hands down one of the best allies in the series (if not the best)

Missed theater check opportunity.

Marines and Elites with shotguns were pretty strong in Halo 3

Cared more about reinforcements than the arbiter

He's just loves procrastinating

So THATS how it works? So we straight up been causing our own deaths all this time?

@@dj11o9er I'm my experience yes

So we can’t actually give her shit then cause she’s actually just driving where WE have been telling her to…

That's if you're IN the same vehicle she's driving, one time on sword base I had her in a Revenant and I was out to hit buttons, and an elite was on one side of me, and Kat was on the other, and she chose to run the elite over...

And cute. Hunters are quite cute.

There are no civilians in odst unless you mean the cops

I don't want to be that guy but you only fight alongside Grunts and Jackals in Halo 2

@@hmm8445 That's what I meant. It's still the same thing, non-military forces.

@Commander Cody You are "That Guy" for not understanding what I meant. You know what I meant so I shouldn't need to explain something everyone should know.

@@inductivegrunt94 bro I ain't having a go at you all I'm saying is I don't recall ever fighting alongside with the Grunts or Jacakals in Halo 3, ODST, and 5

Theres a few airmen too. In the mission where you're in the ship you can fight with Specialists Edit: My bad. Specialist is a rank in the US Army.

@@USSCYT Those are Army Pilots not Air Force. Where as the Marines on Pillar of Autumn are actually Marines.

@@tylerellis9097 Are you sure? I dont think Specialist is a rank in the army. But it is one in the Airforce. But, I think theres a higher chance it's a naval aviator

@@USSCYT the Halo warfleet book and the game code confirm they’re just army pilots. Falcon pilots use the same model btw

@@USSCYT pretty much every NPC in reach is UNSC army units. Which is odd since Army units were mentioned in EU lore but we never see them except Reach. It's why you don't have any of the standard gear as the Army units in the UNSC didn't really need the more advanced gear. UNSC army is used as garrisons on planets so 2,3, and ODST should have em too.

This one comment encapsulates the spirit of grunts in the Halo games xD

That grunt sounds like caboose lmfao

I love when that happens

Ha one the funnest experiences I had on Xbox days my buddy accidentally ran over two marines when going into the final building to kill the scarab. He got instantly mowed down by the others. No hesitation on their part lmao.

Yeah it was cool how they had a morale system, they had the beat banter too, overall the most fun NPC allies to have in any game.

@@NYG5 Halo 2 marines have a similar system coded in if im not misunderstanding the mod tools. They have a timid, normal and aggressive parameters for things like chasing a target, taking cover, shooting etc. If they are in a stronger position they will be more aggressive, especially when talking about numerical advantage and the opponents "scariness" level. The issue is when the marines are given the ai order to follow a player, they will choose to stay near the player even if it will put themselves at great risk, which throughout the game, theyre told to do a lot. That is to say, if you betray the marines in metropolis after the city center fight, and you saved as many marines as possible, you will notice how aggressive they are in chasing you down, as they will likely have a large numerical advantage and not accounting for the fact that they may have vehicles around they may be using, but if you betray marines on a level like cairo or regret in areas where they dont have numbers, you will notice they will take cover a lot more often and be more passive. I have actually modded a personal map of quarantine zone to have marine combat encounters and they are more aggressive than most enemy types in the game. If you could not head shot a marine, id say they'd be the most difficult enemy to kill in the game, but luckily the BR and carbine are great at taking them out.

CE marines do not have a morale system tied to the player, that is a myth. No halo Game has that. Only starting with Halo 3 do they even have morale combat mechanics tied to Sergeants and Arbiter but still the not the player

@@tylerellis9097 I thought the rank was just to determine which ai marine was the leader of a squad, so they'd be the ones yelling orders. I didn't think morale had a factor in it, the marines don't seem affected by the squad leader dying, but this seems to be the case in every game, marines in halo 2 don't seem affected by the player dying besides saying a voice line

@@halinaqi2194 They have the leader killed “Broken” huddling together mechanic based on the leader dying. Look at their AI Styl.

No, you do have marine allies at the end of Reach. They are wearing different uniforms from the Army troopers you play with a majority of the game. Also the ODSTs are attached to the Marines so those are marines you fight alongside too.

Did you even pay attention in Reach?

@@RepublicTrooper125 Still disappointed that bungie gave every ally in reach a damage debuff, and if you were wondering why it seems like reach marine ai cant kill anything, ai in general have a damage debuff to other ai on top of the human weapons damage debuffs, so yeah... Thats why on legendary a trooper with a rocket cant even kill the weakest elite in 1 hit. its like their guns are useless

equip your allies with covenant weapons to help alleviate the problem, needle rifles are probs one of the best XD

@@RepublicTrooper125 Oh yeah you are right, I completely forgot about that (And yeah, I wasn’t counting ODST as marines but as their own thing) Haven’t played Reach in a while.

So glad someone said this. On Legendary speedruns they can change the pace at the end so much so that you could get a new PB just by them being there

Spec Ops Elite moment

Spec Ops Elite moment

Ah, I see you are not a fan of the power trip that is a razorback full of marines with powers weapons... I do recommend you trying to give all marines in a razorback shotguns though. Surprisingly effective.

@@Destroyer_V0 it never felt effective for me. Plus the range

@@dj11o9er Range is def a problem for all shotguns, won't lie there.

you are better off giving them 5 beam rifles, they will handle every jackal sniper and more.

@@halinaqi2194 Beam rifles and carbines are harder to come by. Besides, Halo 2's marines focus their fire enough to consistently land super combos. Needlers in Halo 3, sadly will not super combo from multiple needlers.

@@puddel9079 you can bring a beam rifle with you from the beginning area, there is 2 beam rifles in a crate right before you take the lift to the prison section (just push it down the lift), so you have 3 by the time you release the marines out, you can get 2 more at the first outdoor area. There are 4 carbines in crate in the prison section alone, its not too difficult. On legendary, which I play 99% of the time, needlers wont work, since enemies kill way too fast, carbines will headshot most enemy types real quick, and beam rifles will melt enemies and stun lock them. Needlers are fun, ngl, i also some times screw around with giving them 5 brute plasma rifles. but yeah h3 needlers are strong but the ai fire way too slow with them.

@@puddel9079 Bruh gravemind is filled with nothing but Beam Rifles and carbines once you get the marines. 5 Needlers is a unique and Viable strat though

I think we all know what halo reach mission should win
