Marines in Halo: Combat Evolved

In Halo: Combat Evolved, almost all Marines carry MA5B Assault Rifles, though occasionally they can be seen with other weapons. They are relatively accurate with these weapons, but incidents of friendly fire often occur. Marines will strafe and avoid fire but not usually seek cover. They will roll out of the way of a vehicle but they will not pick up different weapons, Health Packs, or additional ammo, though the last would be pointless since Marines have unlimited ammunition.



Marines are conscious of back-stabbing. After the player has killed three Humans of any type, the rest of the Marines in the level will attack him. If ythe playrt kills Captain Keyes or any other members of the bridge crew in the level The Pillar of Autumn, Cortana will lock the doors and summon a squad of invincible Marines to destroy him.

Marines hitch rides on player-driven Warthogs and Scorpion Tanks but are only capable of piloting Ghosts by themselves. They will exit Scorpions or Warthogs when the player leaves the driver seat or vice versa. Be careful of Marines piloting Ghosts. They are occasionally prone to running the player over. In Halo: Combat Evolved, the only practical way of getting a Marine's weapon, unfortunately, is by killing him.
