The army troopers | The army troopers function much the same as the [[Marines]] from previous games, and almost exactly the same as the Marines in ''Halo: Reach''. They can trade weapons with the player, drive vehicles, and throw grenades. 3-5 of them can be "recruited" into the player's team using the [[Fireteam (gameplay mechanic)|Fireteam mechanic]]. Once recruited, the names of the troopers(employees from Bungie and Roosterteeth) appear along with their rank. However, while the troopers will follow the player, they cannot be given commands. | ||

They will, however, take cover, jump away from explosions, and flip overturned vehicles. The army troopers are about on par with an [[Elite Minor]] in terms of fighting skill. When in force, troopers can hold their own against much larger forces. While they are effective at range, they are generally much weaker than the enemy with melee attacks. Army troopers can appear individually, or in groups as numerous as 13(As seen when arming the missile launchers on [[Exodus]]). | ||

They can appear with any UNSC weapon, but are most commonly equipped with an [[MA37 Individual Combat Weapon System|Assault Rifle]] or a [[M392 Designated Marksman Rifle|DMR]]. They will, however, accept powerful weapons such as [[Fuel Rod Gun]]s, [[Rocket Launcher]]s, and [[Plasma Launcher]]s. The player can use this to take advantage of the fact that NPCs do not run out of ammunition. They also appear to have the ability to guide rockets. | ||
