==Summary==
#REDIRECT [[UNSC Marine Corps]]
[[Image:Marine.jpg|150px|right]]
A rugged and diverse assortment of soldiers, the Marines of the [[UNSC]] are fighting a losing war against the [[The Covenant|Covenant's]] superior weaponry and numbers. Under the leadership of someone like [[Captain Keyes]], or [[Admiral Whitcomb]], they continue to wage a furious struggle against the [[Covenant]], even as their numbers dwindle. They're the best of the best.
 
Marines are the standard infantry of the UNSC. They have few augments and usually wear passive camoflague uniforms Other marines wear brown or black metal armor, intended to shield them from plasma fire, as opposed to bullets. Marine Helmets contain display eyepieces and [[Helmet Recorder]]s, which give them information about their surroundings. As well as helmets they wear Boonie hats for light combat operations. [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] are special forces of the Marines.
 
Marine NCOs are distinguished by baseball caps carrying the symbol of the Marine Corps. They never wear helmets, even when in body armor. Sergeants are (usually) smarter, better shots, and tougher to kill.
 
The UNSC Marine armor is much different in [[Halo 2]]. The fatigues under the armor are now camouflage. The armor is more efficient and is an off-shoot of the original armor used by Master Chief in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]]. The Marines are less of a rag-tag group in [[Halo 2]] than they were in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]]. They no longer wear boonie hats and are never in combat without their armor. In fact, in [[Halo 2]], a Marine is only seen with no armor on the first level, when they are dressed in their whites.
 
==Combat==
[[Image:MarineArmoredUniform.jpg|150px|right]]
In [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], almost all Marines carry [[Assault Rifle]]s, though occasionally they can be seen with a [[Sniper Rifle]], [[Needler]], [[Shotgun]], or [[Plasma Rifle]]. They are relatively accurate with their weapons, but incidents of friendly fire are common. Marines will strafe and avoid fire but not seek cover. They will roll out of the way of a vehicle but they will not pick up different weapons, [[Health Pack]]s, or additional ammo. In [[Halo 2]] they will seek cover behinds boxes and walls.
 
Marines are conscious of back stabbing. After you have killed three Humans of any type, the rest of the Marines in the level will attack you. If you kill [[Captain Keyes]] in [[Pillar of Autumn (Level)|The Pillar of Autumn]], [[Cortana]] will lock the doors and summon a squad of invincible Marines to destroy you.

In [[Halo: Combat Evolved]],they will ride on [[Warthog]]s and [[Scorpion]]s but are only capable of piloting [[Ghost]]s by themselves. They will get off the Scorpions when the player exits the driver seat, but they will stay in a Warthog until you order them to get out. Be careful of Marines piloting Ghosts; they are occasionally prone to running you over. In [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], the only practical way of getting a Marines' weapon is killing them.
 
In [[Halo 2]], the Marines are much more intelligent. They are able to drive the [[Warthog]], the [[Ghost]], and are capable of riding on the [[Scorpion]]. The Marines are far more interactive and more capable of independent thought and wield a greater assortment of weapons. The player can also switch weapons with the Marines to make sure that they are well armed. (Or if you want to be well armed because you want their weapon) As in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], the Marines are aware of backstabbing, and will attempt to kill you after you kill 2 of their comrades.
