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. | The army troopers function much the same as the [[Marines]] from previous games, and almost exactly the same as the Marines in ''Halo: Reach''.

Compared to the enemy, the friendly NPCs have a much simpler AI which can lead to friendly fire. 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( | Compared to the enemy, the friendly NPCs have a much simpler AI which can lead to friendly fire.

If two or more troopers are killed by the player in a row, the rest of the allies will attack the player. During this time, their weapons become so powerful that they can kill the player in one shot. | If two or more troopers are killed by the player in a row, the rest of the allies will attack the player.
