Huge thank you to The Vengeful 'Vadam for his Halo 5 marine clips!

The Evolution of the Marines is finally here!! What's your favorite marine and why? Thanks for watching!


Special thanks to my man @vengeful_vadam for the H5 marine clips :)

For some reason the section with Halo 3's marine pilots and ODSTs didn't render. I have no clue why. Sorry about that :/

Despite them killing me with rockets, grenades, and running me over I still try to keep them safe for some reason idk

when I play Halo games I tend to fight alongside the Marines more than Act like a genetically mutated Rambo

One of the many things 343 missed was that the Marines add replay value to the campaign. Ever since we first started playing the Halo series, my brother and I would always try to keep them alive as long as possible, and give them numerous power weapons.

It looks like 343 might have caught on with this in Infinite with the outposts, and whatnot. I'd love for there to be a way that it would be feasible to keep them all alive on legendary, maybe through a skull or similar mechanic.

So here's an interesting bit of information I can give you on the Reach marines/Army Troopers. In order for them to have different color schemes, Bungie made their armor and fatigues RGB, and when I messed around in Assembly one day I decided to make myself a marine on a couple of maps. If the mode was team based, their fatigues were colored based on the team they spawned in, with the armor colored after the visor you picked in the menu, and I thought it looked sick. It's something I would do if I wanted to have marines in Multiplayer and not the way they were designed in Halo 5's.

Update: So, I've also noticed that some marines in Reach have different colored uniforms on random times. It's not very noticeable, but it does happen if you see different troopers at the same time.

Nice video! Can you do flood elites evolution?

Most of us still prefer our men and women of the UNSC classic such as halo 1, 2, and 3 as well as reach and halo wars however they are bringing back the reach/halo wars inspired Marines and trooped into halo infinite as well as civilians or non-combatants in the halo infinite campaign which we are all excited about overall well done introducing the good old UNCS

22:34 I’ve beaten Reach several times but this is the first I’ve seen or heard Marines could do *that*

In halo 3 on the level with like 20 marines being tortured I used to try speed running the level to save them

I find it really funny that some the best soldiers in our world is considered the weakest tier in the Halo universe

hey so i've been watching all your evolution videos, how about you do some of them about vehicles? like how the scorpion, wraith, banshee and everything else has changed over the years

[justanotherguy]

I would like to see some games where the ai is like halos where they can flank fire from cover roll be accurate instead of being essentially immersive Cannon fodder

[Retroracng]

When are you going to do a updated version of the evolution of halo characters for the new halo?

[Nightshade]

Whenever i watch these videos there is always bits of video missing. Loved that chinese symbol

[xVMouseVx]

Honestly halo is the most fun when marines are around

[EmeraldCoasttt]

Marine ai is one of the most impressive things in combat evolved to me
The gap between marathon's primitive ai and halo is insane, they really weren't that far apart and to me marathon seemed a bit dated compared to its' contemporaries like doom and build engine

[spiderjesus]

Halo wars and halo 3 had the best design for Marines in my opinion I just would like it if reach gave Marines the combat evolved or halo 3 so you could see the iconic armor but also introduce the army I just think this would be nice

[lykan]

Pretty certain that, having the Marines in Halo Reach being weaker, was on purpose as the Player is supposed to constantly feel like they fight a Battle they can - ultimately - not win.
