Long after the [[Flood]] had finished their massacre of [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] and Covenant alike, [[Spartan-117]] came across this Marine. The soldier was a wreck, firing at anything that moved with his [[M6D|M6D pistol]], and hollering about "monsters." In ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', it is said that the [[John-117|Master Chief]] told him to leave the building, but the Marine ignored him, and crawled into a fetal position, whimpered, then fell silent. He also told the Chief "find your own hiding place!" and claims to be able to "hear [[Flood|them]]" when the Chief approached. It is unknown what happened to the Marine after the encounter, though most likely he was killed by the Flood, for if the player attempts to return to his position later in the level after encountering the flood, the door leading to the Marine's position is damaged and will not open, and looks as if it had been smashed from the inside by something quite strong. It is also possible that he committed suicide. If neither of these events happened, he surely would have been killed by the destruction of [[Installation 04]].

*His fate is unknown, as the room he was in locks after the Chief comes back out. However, it is possible and rumoured that he proceeded to the structure's "basement", as later a human body is found on a flaming platform, and a pistol lies next to it.

*There was an idea for the Crazed Marine earlier in the development of [[343 Guilty Spark (Level)]]. He would've stayed alive initially, but when the player walked a distance away from him, there was supposed to be a loud bang. If the player returned, they would find him dead on the floor. This was revealed by [[Joseph Staten]] on the [[Halo 3 Legendary Edition]] bonus disk.

*As an homage to this Marine in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Suicidal Marine]] is voiced by the same person, and features similar mannerisms to the original. He can be seen on the level [[Floodgate]].
