New image[edit]

I think it's time for a new infobox image. Anyone have any suggestions? I briefly looked and I feel like this one could be decent, though I would prefer one with more Marines and maybe some of their vehicles. I will continue looking. --NightHammer^(talk)^(contribs) 21:34, 4 January 2016 (EST)

It could definitely use a change. Personally, though, if we're looking for them wearing the armor seen in Halo Wars and Halo 2 Anniversary, this one is a better representation. However, I actually think it'd be a better idea to get a more recent, post-war interpretation of the Marines, like the ones on Infinity - something like this, without the blur obviously - but there aren't really any decent images of the Marines going around right now. --Grim Looters (talk) 08:36, 5 March 2016 (EST)

This one with its background removed is my suggestion. Imrane-117 (talk) 08:42, 5 March 2016 (EST)

The quality isn't too good on that one. I wish we had an image that isn't a scan. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 11:56, 6 March 2016 (EST)

Oh, would you look at that, the quality of the images I linked messed up. Nice. Anyway, can we have some sort of consensus here? I'm getting real bored of the current image. --Grim Looters (talk) 22:35, 11 April 2016 (EDT)

I make the assumption that your silence is telling me it's good to go. Well, I'm changing it to the image of the Marines in Halo wars - the one in the foreground with the M90, the one in the back with the MA5B, wearing the brown heavily-plated combat armour in the opening cutscene. I think it better represents the Marines for two reasons - A) They provably have used that set of armor for the majority of their known operational history, including in the Insurrection, Human-Covenant War, and up to the New Pheonix incident in Spartan Strike - well into the postwar period. B) The M52B armor we see now was only used towards the end of the Human-Covenant War and ceased to be in service afterwards, as far as we know. It probably evolved into the postwar designs we see on Infinity, as I'd imagine it would've been experimentally manufactured to test durability against Covenant weapons or something. Change it again if you like, just don't change it back to that blasted Halo 3 thing again. --Grim Looters (talk) 19:31, 21 April 2016 (EDT)

Changed it again to a picture from the epilogue of Halo 4, which I think is a much better representation of them in the postwar era. Sorry for changing it so sporadically. --Grim Looters (talk) 19:46, 21 April 2016 (EDT)

Personnel[edit]

Just a question, why dont we add a list of UNSC marines? We done it with the naval personnel, ODST. Spartans. Yes that would be a miles long list but at least why not?

Same question applies for UNSC Army. Fred LTJG S104 (talk) 03:46, January 21, 2020 (EST)

I agree. Link added to their respective category pages. BaconShelf (talk) 04:26, January 21, 2020 (EST)

+: It could definitely use a change. Personally, though, if we're looking for them wearing the armor seen in Halo Wars and Halo 2 Anniversary, [http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100524195050/halofanon/images/8/80/UNSC_armour_Halo_Wars.jpg this one] is a better representation. However, I actually think it'd be a better idea to get a more recent, post-war interpretation of the Marines, like the ones on Infinity - something like [http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/halo/images/f/fb/H4_Marines_Epilogue.png/revision/latest?cb=20121211180648&path-prefix=es this], without the blur obviously - but there aren't really any decent images of the Marines going around right now. --[[User:Grim Looters|Grim Looters]] ([[User talk:Grim Looters|talk]]) 08:36, 5 March 2016 (EST)
-Could the Marines in Halo 2 be the Earth Marines and the ones from Halo 1 are the Marines from Reach or Sigma Octanus IV or something? Because I really would like to understand why they changed the armour. User:Joshua 02

-::you know, my opinion is that, its differnt statuses.. like, the elites and their different colored armor, on earth you have loads of standardized marines, maybe these were just marines (in halo 1) but with specialized ballistic armor. User:Starliner

-:::I think that the armour from Halo: Combat Evolved is better because the armour looks like it probably provides more protection. And it looks awesomer because of the colours and the eye-piece thingy! :D [[User:Kerek|Kerek]] 06:56, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

-::::Well, contrary to video game ideas, most soldiers have many subtle differences in their armor. The developmers were likely just taking advantage of improved graphics potential. -[[User:ED|ED]] 19:57, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

-Does anyone notice the metal plates on the marines armor in Halo: Combat Evolved make the same sound as the hunters armor in Halo: Combat Evolved.  [[User:Fork|Fork]] 23:21, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
+== Personnel ==
-Yea I noticed that too, but it might just be Bungie being lazy and using a sound file twice instead of making a new one. [[User:Capt Bartlett|Capt Bartlett]] 16:17, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

-:::Take a close look at the marines in Halo 1. A lot of them (especially the ones in armor) have asian features on their faces, such as the slanted eyes typical of Japanese. -[[User:ED|ED]] 23:10, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

-==Add to the trivia!==
-Did you know the merines in the Halo 2 demo trailer say the same phrases as in metropolis.  Why isn't this added anywhere?{{unsigned|Leckgolo434}}
-== Halo 3 Marines ==
-The new marines look like they had an upgrade on their armour, they seem to have the same aspects of the original marine armour back in the first halo.The torso of a marine has the same similar metal plating of the original marine but the new armour has more detail.But there seems to be no change when it comes to the A.I of the marines shown in the [[Halo 3 ViDoc: Et Tu, Brute?]] -- [[User:Blaze Strike]] 02:49, 25 December 2006

-::Look around in the campaign - those boxes are there for a reason. this isnt even the whole list - not by a long shot. have a look around the [[Outskirts]] and [[Metropolis]] levels, look at the boxes scattered around. i doubt they're there for the civilians... -- [[User:Specops306|SpecOps306]] 00:15, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

-== Ranks ==
-Should we have the Marine Corps Rank table on this page? i'm pretty sure that would be a good idea...and if Major Silva is a Major, then why is he leading a Battalion? i thought they were headed by Colonels? Or are the Marines different to the army in that area too?
-I agree it would be a good idea. [[User:Kami-Sama]]
-Battalions are led by MAJORS, regiments (group of battalions) are led by COLONEL's!  [[User:Fork|Fork]] 23:28, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
-== EMP ==
-Emergency Medical Personnel? the guys are taking the fight to the enemy - not tending the wounded. Its more likely to stnd for Electro-Magnetic Pulse, referring the the effects of plasma as it hits the armour. -- [[User:Specops306|SpecOps306]] 19:14, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
-:Molten metal does not release an EMP. Of course, being medical personnel with that uniform doesn't make sense, but it makes more sense than electromagnetic pulse. [[User:24.251.125.185|24.251.125.185]] 19:27, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
-::Actually, I think the article's just poorly written, and it means the fatigues, not the armor, because the image caption says medical uniform. [[User:24.251.125.185|24.251.125.185]] 19:32, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
-:::Actually, I meant the plasma ITSELF gave off the EMP. but i will concede that it does not, in fact, mean the armour. but the US Marines, which the [[UNSC Marine Corps| UNSC Marines]] are based on, generally dont train medics, leaving that to Navy Corpsmen. -- [[User:Specops306|SpecOps306]] 02:29, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

-Why is there a picture of helljumpers in the article?  They are ODST's not marines.  That picture does not belong in the article as far as I am concerned.  [[User:Dockman|<font color="redrrdgfdtpifhghg658776543230997hygfdd654nbnb">OAR</font>]][[User Talk: Dockman|<font color="#QPWOEIRUTYAHSJDKFLLZMXNCBVGFTR">LOCK</font>]] 18:16, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
