The '''infinite Marines glitch''' is an exploit in ''[[Halo 3]]''<nowiki/>'s [[Campaign]]. The trick allows players to spawn large numbers of [[Marines]]. It is widely considered a [[glitch]], though technically it is more of an exploit.
The '''Infinite Marines Glitch''' can be done on the ''[[Halo 3]]'' level, [[The Storm (Level)|The Storm]].

=== The Storm ===
After defeating the [[Scarab]] and going through the aid station, you will come across several [[Marines]] fighting some [[Brutes]] in a large storage room. Defeat them and go into the next room, where you will find several [[Voi Factory Workers]] fighting the Brutes. When you enter this room, let all the Marines and factory workers get killed. After they are all dead, five Marines will spawn in the previous storage room and join you. If they die, then more will keep spawning indefinitely. You might need to walk deeper into the room, near the Brute holding the worker, in order for the Marines to join the fight or they won't follow. You can lead the Hunters in the next area back to this storage room and watch them destroy countless Marines or you can start betraying them. You can turn on the Tilt and Mythic Skull, the Brutes and Hunters will be nearly invincible. The glitch can be very useful on [[Legendary]] because infinite Marines will eventually kill off the Brutes and Hunters. The glitch ends when you go out outside.
On [[The Storm (level)|The Storm]], after defeating the [[Deutoros-pattern Scarab|Scarab]] and moving through the first aid station, you will enter a storage room, where several Marines are fighting [[Brutes]]. Defeat the Brutes and proceed to the next room, where you will find several factory workers fighting more Brutes. Upon entering this room, let all the Marines and factory workers get killed. When they all die, five more Marines will spawn in the previous storage room and join you. If they die, more will spawn; the cycle can continue indefinitely.


Among other things, you can lead the [[Hunters]] back to this area and have them slaughter the Marines endlessly, or you can simply [[Betrayal|betray]] them. The [[Halo 3 skulls#Tilt|Tilt]] and [[Halo 3 skulls#Mythic|Mythic]] [[Halo 3 skulls|skulls]] make the Brutes and Hunters nearly invincible, guaranteeing the Marines' deaths. This trick can be useful when using those skulls or when playing on [[Legendary]], as infinite Marines will eventually kill the Covenant forces.
Also, on The Storm when you're fighting the Scarab, the Marines firing the Missile Pods on the catwalk leading to the aid station will continually spawn if killed.  


The glitch ends when you go outside.
The Infinite Marines glitch can also be found on [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]], though only on Co-Op. When you get the [[Hornet]] and are flying to the third tower you will see an island with an [[AA Wraith]] on it. Destroy the Wraith, land on the island, and drop your Hornet into the water. Another Hornet will come and land, then drop it into the water and another will show up. Each Hornet carries one Marine and will keep spawning, although the map will overload eventually.

Also, when you're fighting the Scarab, the Marines firing the mounted [[Missile Pod]]s on the catwalk leading to the first aid station will continually spawn if killed. If you're playing on Co-op, have one player go to the door where the Marines come out of. Then have one player kill all the Marines outside. The door should open. Go inside. The Marines will come out of another door. Go inside. They will spawn between this door and a closed door.
 
=== The Covenant ===
When playing [[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]] on [[Co-op]], a similar exploit can be used. When you get the [[Hornet]] and are flying to the third tower, you will see an island with an {{Pattern|Ogab'd|anti-aircraft Wraith}} on it. Destroy the Wraith, land on the island, and drop your Hornet into the water. A Marine will fly another Hornet to the island and land; drop it into the water. This will cause more and more Marines to enter on Hornets, with one Marine per Hornet. Eventually, though, the sheer number of Marines may [[Overload glitch (Halo 3)|overload]] the map.
 
Also, if you get the Marines to pilot the Hornets rather than dropping the Hornets into the water, you can have an unlimited number of pilots controlled Hornets.
