Marines have also gained the ability to flip vehicles, which compensates well for their somewhat poor driving. They can flip the [[M274 Mongoose|Mongoose]] or [[Karo'etba-pattern Ghost|Ghost]] by themselves, and can flip the [[Warthog]] when in groups of at least three, and strangely, they can flip the 66-ton [[M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpion]] in groups of only five. | Marines have also gained the ability to flip vehicles, which compensates well for their somewhat poor driving.

In combat, Marines have improved their performance against certain enemies. Aside from easily dominating against Grunts, Jackals, and Drones, Marines can fare much better when confronting a single lower-ranking Brute. While they will still struggle against higher-ranking Brutes and Hunters, the player can utilize certain strategies to give Marines a better chance to dispatch such enemies by either providing them with appropriate weaponry, or in the case of higher ranking Brutes, stripping off their [[jiralhanae power armor|power armor]] to render them vulnerable | In combat, Marines have greatly improved their performance against certain enemies.

Marines in ''Halo 3'' are also much more reliable against the Flood than they were in ''Halo: Combat Evolved''. Their higher health pool can allow them to withstand multiple melee attacks from [[Flood attacker form|Combat Forms]]. Against Pod infectors, the option to kick can also allow them to briefly repel the creatures. And there is a longer lag duration the Pod infectors must undergo to successfully attach and mutate their host, thus giving ample time for Marines to avoid being infected. However, Marines are still vulnerable to infection, especially in comparison to the Elite allies. Worst case, if a Pod infector attaches itself on a Marine, they will grapple for a second or so, to give the player a chance to shoot it off. Otherwise, the Pod infector will mutate the Marine into a Combat Form. It is possible to "short circuit" the mutation by firing on the new Flood host, thus preventing the soldier to not fully mutate. If armed with [[M90A shotgun|Shotguns]] and [[MA5C assault rifle|Assault Rifles]], Marines can generally defeat the Flood forces very quickly. However, it is up to the player to provide them with such weaponry. | Marines in ''Halo 3'' are also much more reliable against the Flood than they were in ''Halo: Combat Evolved''.
