This happens to me all the damn time. I love the Halo franchise but the soldiers are so fundamentally stupid that it boggles the mind! And I love that after one of them hops in front of my stream of bullets they others ask me what I'm thinking.
I know I'm not the only one who has this problem.

nice and funny
Yeah and also i was once shooting an elite from a hill once when a marine got in my way... then three other marines start shooting me!!! (i then just got out the p.p. and punched them. they stoped) Oh and to those who think that the fp animation on halo 1 for the plasma pistol when meleeing is in the right hand... open your eyes, retards!!! the p.p. goes to the left with the left hand and then the right hand comes down alone.
remember... PUNCH THOSE MARINES EVERYTIME THEY GO OFF AT U WHEN THEY JUMP IN THE WAY!!!
Just a few suggestions - I found it hard to keep track of who was speaking or if I knew who was speaking it didnt look like they were talking even with a bubble - open mouths indicate someone speaking ;)
Speach bubbles dont require huge arrow to point to the speakers, but they somehow add more life and energy to the picture - try doing up a comic strip with your current and varrient speach bubbles and see what kind of response you get.
I think somthing like the following style would look good in your comic!

well, still, you read my comments?
what you think, would it be a good idea?

What's interesting is that in AotCR, killing several marines at the bottom of the canyon with a rocket launcher (where the warthog and Wraith are) while you're still at the top of the bridge will still cause them to turn on you once you reach the bottom, because the AI hasn't reverted back even between load zones.
Very awesome throwback comic, ZZoMBiE13...
anyway, the most ways i got marines dead was by driving the warthog. its not that i have bad skills (really) i just like to drive like crazy. i guess noone would drive with me on multiplayer.lol
(i once drove a warthog up in a rock, and an other time at a tree, too bad i couldnt save it)
I've actually never had any trouble with Marines. Ever. The only thing I never let them do is drive while I'm in the vehicle, but they're pretty good at doing what I need them to. It's gotten to the point where I try to keep as many of them alive as possible.
What's funny is that they're tremendously formidable when they turn on you. It's fun to start off Crow's Nest, kill a few, and see how long you can hold out for.
to Halo Buff: Halo 1's Warthog actually HAS a brake, just hit the A button.
The only thing about the AI that has bothered me since Halo 2 is that it never apologizes for hitting friendlies. They seem like such rude bastards that this alone makes me wanna put them to sleep for good, so they wouldn't be hurting anyone else.
It was something that really made the marines likeable for me in the first Halo...
realy a great comic keep up good work!!!
Good stuff.
I rarely agree with a word the guy says but Zero Punctuation is always entertaining just the same.
For Halo 3 he described them as pants-on-head retarded and I'd agree with that.
Sierra 117 for example had me being blasted at by Jackals and the ally NPCs run inbetween me and the Jackals while we're firing away at each other and then they have the cheek to complain about my shooting.
And they wonder why it didn't make Game of the Year.
On another note it means the co-op campaign is far more interesting. I had a fun few days doing the campaign with a friend and we managed to make it through on Legendary. Most of the ally NPCs died on the way but it was far more fun with some human company (accurate since I played Arbi).
Hmmmm...
Fortunately they are smart enough to know that if you give them a Rocket Launcher or a Fuel Rod Gun, and you're in a vehicle, that they should ride Shotgun.
