Re: Extra Marines in AOTCR

In Response To: Extra Marines in AOTCR (Rockslider) : New level 5 fun at Bad Cyborg ... : Seven extra Marines and a hog : Boris recently alerted me to how he was sometimes getting four extra Marines : in the first snow battle of AOTCR. Wow! I'd never heard of getting extra : Marines before. But it was unreliable (as Boris had noted), so I started : investigating. And to cut a long story short, I was amazed to find a quite : different method that gives you seven extra Marines, plus an extra : Warthog if you want it (not that getting an extra hog is new, I realize). : That makes ten Marines in the first area, and a whopping eighteen : eventually (or sixteen if you wisely eliminate the idiotic snipers before : they shoot everyone else in the back). Quite a sight! You can enjoy : fighting through the level with your massively boosted squad. Read all : about it in Seven extra Marines and a hog . : Plus new lines from Sarge! : There's a great little bonus to enjoy with that trick, namely this 16-second : all-clear speech from Sergeant Johnson (normally destined to be dead, as a : Pelican Marine), when you polish off the enemy: "That's the last of : 'em - area secure. Stand down team! (pause) They did their damnedest : that's for sure. This is all that's left of my platoon. The Covenant are : down here in force, and they brought plenty of toys. I wouldn't have given : us a snowball's chance until you showed up Chief." : Has this been heard before? Is there a dialog expert in the house? Where's : Captain Spark when you need him? Because this line exists, it suggests : that maybe Bungie originally hadn't planned for the Pelican guys to : automatically be dead, and that Johnson would potentially be the one to : announce the all-clear. Somewhere along the line though, the Pelican guys : became doomed (maybe Bungie didn't want the Xbox to strain itself), and : hence you normally only get something from a standard Marine. Can anyone : shed any light on this theory? Very interesting. Where exactly in the map did you hear this? How many marines did you have alive when you heard the dialogue?
