Probably canon, this easily could've happend within a 10 mile radius of Six.

In the lore, the UNSC won most land battles, but it didn't matter because whem they lost the fight in orbit, and they mostly did, the planets would be glassed, humanity is lucky the schism hapenned.

Everybody gangsta til the elites started swarming the area

4:21 that marine actually put up a bit of a fight, actually killing one of the elites in a 2v1 battle

1:08 I've just noticed that the antenna of that one marine's radio backpack bends and sways with his movement. You gotta give props to Bungie for that attention to detail.

14:22 thats it jimbo im taking you to the *shadow realm*

Despite them shooting their weapons every 5 seconds you gotta admit, they put up on hell of a fight. Just the amount of chaos in the battles I can imagine this is probably what every ground battle on reach looked like.

I still believe a tactical "Arma-esc" Halo game would be awesome.

Is nobody gonna mention that they're not marines? They're Army Troopers.

It’s so weird seeing the Aszod ship breaking yards without any of the dust and dirt in the air from the constant glassing of the planet.

You know, it just occurred to me: why weren't there assassination animations for elites to use on normal marines? It wouldn't be the same as Spartans because of how much bigger Spartans are compared to marines.

Imagine being part of a platoon left to survive on a situation like this... "This is my last recorded message... The Covenant will overrun un soon, *exhales in despair* we will die today. But God damn we'll give these Alien sons of bitches a battle they will never forget!"

2:36 Ok, the Elite Roar made it look like the Marine said that as he fell over and exploded.. XD

The marine AI is pretty bad except for their aim.

Can you do one where you survive as an Elite against army troopers, then marines, then ODSTs, then Spartans?

11:10 it's the same Elite that disappeared in 10:47 (confirmed)

Eight inch Elite destroys petite marine.

It seems like the Reach AI breaks down with too many bipeds in play at once, so here is my proposal for a similar canon battle. (It seems like the game only has so many AI active at once, leading to a large number of troopers/marines being AFK, that's why it seems the troopers get more effective as more are killed off.) A UNSC Cavalry Section, consisting of a reinforced Motorized Infantry Section and Tank Section. Squad Leader armed with Shotgun, and two fire-teams, each consisting of a Team Leader with an MA5, an automatic rifleman with an MA5, a Designated Marksman with a DMR, and a Grenadier with a Grenade Launcher. This is a total of 9 enlisted. There should be a 2 mounted teams of 2 armed with magnums, and mounted in Warthogs (do standard or gauss to avoid friendly fire.) A weapons squad consisting of a Squad Leader with MA5, and two gun teams. One consisting of a Spartan Laser with assistant laser gunner armed with a shotgun, and the other consisting of a Rocket launcher with assistant rocket launcher. Total of 5 enlisted. An HQ element should consist of 1 Platoon Commander armed with a shotgun, 1 platoon sergeant armed with a shotgun, a Platoon Combat Medic with a magnum, and an RTO/FO armed with a shotgun. Total of 1 officer and 3 enlisted. The tank section consists of 2 Scorpions. I recommend spawning the Weapons Squad adjacent the Scorpions so they can have first dubs on mounting up. Add in a four-person Spartan team armed with power weapons, or a 2-person Scout Sniper team if you want to make things more interesting. You can try putting a Falcon overhead as well!

Just imagine what the can do if the UNSC give energy shields to his Marines...

Is there any way to improve the Marines AI/damage output? They haven't quite been the same since Halo 2

They are actually Army troopers

Glad to see that MCC pc has brought your channel a bigger audience. Well deserved!

4:21 pro move

9:08 Elite: I am going to do what you call a pro gamer move!

That random Bob shows up like "I am the blade of the Proph-" *gets shot in the head*

Halo AI battle is always interesting, especially when you add marines. great work!

Hey you took that one guy's suggestion. Cool.

The AI actually makes it pretty interesting to watch, I especially noticed that when the marines were taking too much heat they’d try to break contact and find cover.

10:47 insert X Files theme

Even in video games, the marines take credit from the army lol

Six didn't want to be so lonely after all

Is that how the Skybox is supposed to be at 5:45?

Wow, this looks awesome! The first part has such an atmosphere, it feel like a movie about the last stand of Reach o.O

Impresionante video!

Never mind about my comment. I just saw a lot more than. I thought. "Wow, this camo must actually work!" -anonymous Army Trooper, Halo Reach.

This was entertaining thank you

11:17 Marine: I am the best of all soldiers even than a spartan Wraith:Hold my beer

And the frag throws are on point

The PC graphics are pretty sweet. Nice mod!

Can I just say your Spartan looks fly as fuck. Like the rounded armour pieces that come together to make him look like an armoured teddy bear, mixed with the soft purple and white complimentaries just make him so appealing to look at.

Halo war battles are so cinrmatic and cool to see.

Would gladly love to see more of this ngl 😂

The X2 marines feels less efficient than the first time. The x2 seems to use grenades more than shoot haha. Great video!

Nothing scarier than a squad of marines with DMRs

Fantastic!

To think Six would've survived if he had some marines backing him up

You should do a series like this, set up scenarios with small objectives, just to see who would win.

Stand user : Noble 6 Stand : The entire UNSC Marine Corps

That looks so cool

You should do remakes of each of these AI battles with you fighting on the Human/UNSC side of the fight. Having a pure AI version then an AI + You version of each AI Battle would be dope. And fun.

Those aren't Marines! Those are Army Troopers! Dinga hurr!

What mods are you running at 5:40. Looks so much more colorful and the fog filter being taken away really makes the level pop

Every battle between the UNSC and the Covenant boiled down to the Covies getting their asses kicked on the ground, and rage-quitting, before spamming glassing cannons.

Man the radio guy’s antenna sure has some good wigglin

5:03 that marine is a badass lmao

I'm pretty sure this is how it happened it the book, but Noble Six was with the marines and he didn't die until a looooooooooooooooong time after.

Odst should have their own A.I.. more communication/interaction between squad members like traversing a firefight in groups of two within their squad to essentially work as a more proficient fireteam (one can pick up a plasma pistol and deplete an elites shield while the other lands a headshot), better accuracy and more proficient compared to regular marines. Maybe dragging a wounded into cover, movements in groups of two within the unit during a firefight so no man is alone and throwing grenades faster, flinching less or even just a simple increase in the rate of fire they put down the line... picking up more powerful weapons on the ground?

Just out of curiosity, what if you did a combination of the UNSC army, Spartans, and ODSTs? As they progress in numbers they also have more vehicles and armor abilities including ODSTs and spartans with jet packs? Will that break the game with too much going on? Just a thought.

my dude at 7:55 lobbin' a grenade at himself ME TOO MAN

It will look awesome if you can put some falcons and Spartans (noble team with different armors) with the marines

All these years later and I just now found out the troopers can get their helmets shot off

Would love to see how long a Spartan Fireteam lasts, like say, reviving the dead spartans that spawn on the level if at all possible.

Gear up Marines, we taking Reach back.

*Cries in Army Trooper*

Wait, is it possible to use mods to spawn in Noble team? I'd be cool to see how long they'd last if they all made it to this point.

I really hope we get ai in forge once it Hits pc. Including spartans of corse.

Unity and strength.

This makes me wish you would see more big battles in halo then just a survivor or 2 and everyone dead. Yeah they still die but at least you see them put up a fight and there's dead elites and grunts to show the didnt just shoot nerf darts. This game and gears I always thought would be cooler with more alive allies on the fields to be killed. Reach was pretty good but I can think of many moments just having 2 more people in an area would had made for some nice carnage

Nice

What difficulty is this on? And don't worry is your Marine Rifle Platoon has minor variations, the TO+E rarely reflects every unit in the field, and I just guessed what a UNSC Rifle Platoon might look like based on what a modern USMC Rifle Platoon looks like. Great content, really gives you an idea of what most battles in the lore probably looked like! www.battleorder.org/us-marine-platoon-2020

I’m surprised how well marine/army units hold there own, they aren’t quite Lore accurate, because in the Lore they actually do very well against the covenant. But they only really start to get picked off in Melee, it really puts into perspective how useful the bayonet from halo five would be for the Marines.

Why PC version looks so crappy and shiny? Why is he not recording with the viewer mode?

That’s a squad sized element 😤😭😤🤒

R.I.P. 🙏

Everybody gangsta in the covenant until 30 marines arrive with grenade launchers and spartan lasers and rocket launchers

Does it change anything if you replaced these army troopers with ODST's or actual marines(with the covered visors)

You should do hunters next and see how long they survive?

Can you do noble team with marines and ODSTs on this?

9:10 epic gamer move

Seems like the AI of the Marines break down when there’s to many of them

Hopefully they add a free cam to PC MCC soon for the AI battles. They should be a lot better with a PC CPU with multiple AI fighting at once that the 360 struggles with

You have almost the same style spartan that I have. The only difference is that I run the CQB helmet and no right arm guard cause I don't have the right security shoulderpiece yet. I typically have a Heavily Armored Style Spartan.

More!

x2 the soldiers, x20 the amount of grenades used xD

Where can I acquire this modded map?

“We Die standing”

I wonder if a mod or something could have a small FOB with anti air on this mission. Would amaizing

What are the best non heavy weapons to give Marines a higher damage output in Reach?

how did you get the troopers to spawn like that? I cant seem to get any of the tags to import properly for dialogue and movement patterns.

behold, the battle before Noble 6 arrived

In a firefight we fight in a line we don't must go running around

Marines: on your left.

Move up marines!

I just want a mission in one of the FPS Halo games where a Spartan has to hold out with a shit ton of Marines or Soldiers, kinda like in this video. Imagine if you had a sort of Peace Walker system of recruiting more soldiers based on how well you played and got more influence from the higher-ups, and in the end you had to survive a certain amount of time. And the more Marines you had with you the better your chances were as you kicked ass with your own personal army.

12:40 BOB: why are you runnin?Why are u runnin?

Do a battalion of Marines next

how to do this on pc?

It would be cool to see a halo game or like a little side thing in a game where you play as marines in a squad and do missions 🔥 like ODST except your not all alone 😂

You should do this again, but next time give them a crap ton of Wathogs

Keep it up my friend
