Can You Save Halo Marines That Are Supposed To Die? 

Really? As a kid I always loved his character, so I tried to see him but was never able to

Your right. I remember as a kid him accidently surviving

As a kid playing through I had him survive once, and the tank one I managed to get a hog up inside the building and drove it off and drove it to the tank.

@@eilers5175 getting a hog inside is an impressive feat but the easier way to get to the tank is by driving a ghost

No. It isn't. Don't lie.

Yh same,my weakness

Litterly idk why I do this

Same here buddy

Truth and reconciliation is fun 100% because it's about babysitting in close quarters the marines who just helped you board the ship in a open level where you relied on them so heavily to survive. Now there just packed in a hallway sprinting ahed of you into an ambush and you have to throw yourself between them and the elites.

Me to lol

a true hero

yeah me on halo 3 anytime I fail to save a Marine from a brute i would restart last checkpoint😂 I felt so bad and my big brother would say dude there only ais 😂

I still do it

SAME, thank goodness I’m not alone. their my children and nothing happened to them!!!!!!!

Used to?

I like your fun fact, it is indeed, fun

Thom and Sam. Forever in our hearts

@@Unseh Holy shit

Damn! That's an awesome fun fact.

Yeah, he said 'screw this, I'm going to Mass Effect instead'. (my Shepard's name is Thomas. lol)

YES MAN we got a Genius

Yes. I’ve modded ai health many times XD. If you give a unit 1001 health, then running them over with a vehicle one time won’t kill them lol.

@@giygas9305 “one time” so you’re saying there’s a chance they can still die? GIVE THEM MORE HEALTH POINTS RIGHT NOW

@@bluedog843 a Vehicle deals 1000 damage when it hits a unit in CE. At least, the warthog does. I assume every other vehicle does the same amount of damage but I’m not 100% sure. Lmao, me and my friends have completely fucked the game with mods many times. It’s really fun to do lol.

@@giygas9305 as I said, GIVE EM MORE HEALTH

That's what Plo Koon said right? Nice!

@@dukewild5071 yes that is and thats a great idea

I'm p sure all the marines in flood gate, at least the ones you can normally walk to, are save-able except for the on dude at the ramp with an AR. He will get infected by nothing. There is another AR marine on the ramp, but he will only get infected if there is a single or more infection form laying around on the ground, they don't even have to latch on to him. All those marines except the ones inside the factory have like 10 hp, they will die to almost anything. The flamethrower marine is scripted to die when you pass a trigger volume on the upper walkway inside the factory. A cool interesting thing to note is those marines will follow you through the mission as long as you push them up the stairs where the flamethrower marine is found. Or you can more easily just have them always walk up their on their own by modding their movement properties in guerilla or assembly, from step jump height to crouch jump height or more. Theres a guy on YT who made a tutorial video on how to save floodgate marines.

I've saved him on LASO by thwacking him with a gravity hammer, marines/elites are OP allies on LASO cuz they get all the skull buffs the enemies do

I once saved a marine in halo 3 that ended up half infected and I think the sprain playing with me killed them anyways

I remember trying to save them so many times as a kid on guilty spark and never got them but one day I managed to save 2 of them and felt so great but sad they couldn’t come with me.

@@legendode9242 halo mod so they can come with you :)

Good work gamer 👍🥳 lol Edit: I didn't read it all "yet" but love the effort you put into explaining this and wanted to show appreciation 💪✊

@@legendode9242 i saved one once and as much as he didn't come with me he hid in a corner behind one of those big covenant crate things so smart play nonetheless

The Marine on Floodgate who gets swarmed by infection forms is able to be saved sometimes. Sometimes he can be infected without one getting him, sometimes if you're quick and kill them all you can save him

This sounds like something a grunt would say

Idk if grunts are canonly an alien with the mind of a kid, or they are just scripted like that for fun

And now, to make them sleep again, this time, *it's permanent.*

Yeah idk how RS didnt know they die at the end. I knew that when i was like 10 years old and how to save them.

If your marines make it to the bridge in the T&R, they’re dead when you get back after rescuing captain keys.

@@tjlockie2214 mine weren't the last time I did a T&R play. Particularly, the covenant was only just coming into the doors after I came back from rescuing Keyes and only one marine died to the sword elite. The only time I have ever seen that happen.

@@sorrenblitz805 same thing happened to me my first play through

A guy called SaintJam made a video where he saved a lot of marines in halo: ce it's a really good video he did other games like half-life where he save the scientist which was how I found his channel so if you want to see I recommend SaintJam

I normally kill him and take his sniper😭

@@Masoncerealbox I usually let him live since there's a sniper by the crashed drop pod that they came down in

if I was half as good as him with the sniper I’d be eternally content with life

Halo CE sniper Marines are the only motherfuckers Halo 2 Jackal snipers fear.

Sgt. Johnson usually has a sniper rifle as well. I try to keep him alive as I drive the scorpion through _Attack on the Control Room_ .

It's a human trait, as usual.

​@@michaelandreipalon359 We're stubborn as hell, and don't want to go down without a fight

not unless you know how to skip all the boss fights

@@opulopfulstratix2294 they give you a ton of fusion coils for most of the bossfights tho

@@mayman3310 yeah but not enough for the kill even if you hit every one

@@mayman3310 Emphasis on "most". I hate people like you that feel the need to attempt to correct something and then end up being wrong anyway.

@@thomashoughton7392 It's not that deep bro I just said you can find fusion coils in most of the bossfights so you don't have to skip them all like that commenter said

I used to do that. If you bring a ghost thru the building you can fly off the balcony towards it and take the tank for yourself, saving him in the process

I used a warhog when I did that, but on the remaster, I couldn't do it again

@ 6:50 - YES! I used to save that tank Marine every play through. So here's my steps 1. Once you are at the Gauss hog reveal, there are ghosts and wraiths in a park. a. Destroy wraiths. b. Wait in grassy section before you rally with the other warthog on the streets. c. Many pairs of ghosts will spawn, hijack one and keep it in good condition. Alternatively, you can also skip right ahead to the streets where wraiths are bombarding the hotel. a. Destroy wraiths, and wait for phantoms to drop off ghosts. I usually sat right under the drop spot and hijacked one as it fell. Now that you have a ghost, this is where it gets slightly complicated. b. After all enemies are cleared out, the hotel doors open up and a marine comes out saying some dialogue. I would drive the ghost through the doors, behind the marine, thereby blocking the hallway with it so now marines would run by and populate the hallway on the next story. This will be important. c. This is what I used to do, after blocking the hallway i'd go get all the Marines off the streets and load them into warthogs and get them inside the hotel so none of them would despawn, and was often a longish process. I wasted a lot of time doing it but seeing that many marines together was worth it for me. d. You can skip step c, and this is what you'd do instead. With your ghost, drive in and up the hotel before the marines dialogue is finished; that triggers marines to run up the hallway which you wont want. So drive up the stairs and at the next story, you'll trigger the tank scene, and you have to boost through the doors and onto the streets up to the tank VERY QUICKLY! Hop out the ghost, tell the marine to exit the tank, and YOU HAVE TO ENTER IT right away! e. With the marine out of the tank, and you inside it, this will negate the scars from shooting his beam because of, some reason, but it wont shoot you if youre in it so have fun blasting it yourself or roll it backwards so the marine you ejected can hop on and be safe from scarab legs. Thats it, at this point I would chill out and look at the mini army of Marines I accumulated. Bonus fact: if you get the warthogs and marines inside the hotel before the Scarab scene kicks in, the marines downstairs will hop in the warthogs and be battle ready, which I think is neat. Another bonus fact is the tank driver doesnt have a gun, but he does have grenades. So thats cool!

​@@dukewild5071He did have a gun, but he was kicked out of it.

yes

Best choice

You monster, giving a kid nightmares (not from the flood but from miranda’s mid-2000’s graphics

"I did it in LASO bc i felt like it" this is the chadest line i've heard in a while 💪🏻🧔🏻

@@alegogo2911 I used to do it quite a few times as a kid (back when all my family owned was an Xbox and 15 games) and it was the first time I had reached this point in a few years and i sorta just did it.

Me too

Yes

Yes

Ah but remember in their run Chief was babysitting him till the end, and he just went poof

I always did this just to drive that scorpion.

You can bring the warthog with marines in it and let them drive first. That warthog will move out of the way cause of the other ones. Thats my way

I posted this too just didn't see your comment. Glad other people notice this as well!

I was just about to comment that, and was looking to see if anyone else had done it.

There is a short term kill barrier near the left-side wraith and if the warthog passes through it within. A certain time frame, it explodes. If you use the target locator and kill the wraiths fast, the warthog and crew will eb minimally harmed. Also worth noting that the warthog isnt actually critically wounded as the fire suggests. It is a clean troop transport hog (only one in Reach) with a fire effect slapped on afterwards. I know I did it on the 360 version. But idk about MCC. Good point

I saved them before on easy. Nothing's forcing them to die, they're just weak and outnumbered so they often die anyways

I've saved them too. What makes it really hard is the fact 2 of them are using shotguns.

The level Composer

True, I wish they showed it here. However, if you run to the room where they die later fast enough they get lost in the tunnel before it. When you go back the other way later on you can find them in the tunnel

Other alternatives, auto sentry or block it with a vehicle.

I remember something about using the artillery designator to send the hog flying so it never reaches the scripted kill spot. Might need a skull
