Just saying there's a lot of Halo hate here for some reason. I just think it's strange that opinions have drastically changed about such a popular franchise. I am not calling them cowards. Someone did mention the Halo sucks argument a few quotes ago. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1256 Joined: 12 Aug 2008   | Adrian Shepard. Well, he was in the HECU. And then he went to space on an Osprey. So he's similar to a space marine... |

Yeah, and the fact he is awsome just pushes it I think. Is this rico not the one from killzone then? |

She was actually in the space marine corps. at one point (before any of the games), but then left to go freelance. I guess you could call her a space mercenary. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 888 Joined: 14 May 2008  | I like how everyone brushes off Master Chief as not really being a Space Marine, yet Samus Aran got past on the first page with only a tiny scuffle to mark it. It just seems to be something of an arbitary definition. If I have to be picky for only specifically titled marines in space to count, then it would have to go to either Sgt. Johnson or any of the myriad of badasses in the Adeptus Astartes. If I was allowed to be less picky, then I'd probably go with Commander Shepard in Mass Effect, or indeed the Master Chief. |

I just know im going to get flamed for pointing thiso out but... The big E-man isn't actually a space marine, so he doesn't count. Neither does Horus cause hes a Primarch |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 77 Joined: 12 Aug 2008    | Yeah. Doomguy. He's a ton of characterization in that one little animated head in the middle of your HUD. Doomguy was the first and the best. |

How about Doomrider? He was a Space Marine at one point in time. Anyone happen to know his fluff? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1195 Joined: 24 Apr 2008    | Earthworm Jim! He has a space suit. He has a gun. He fights all sorts of freaks. He has a rocket. Therefore he's a space marine! And if you disagree he will whip you... WITH HIS FACE! Oh yeeeeeah! |
Anonymous Source Posts: 9 Joined: 25 Mar 2008 | Ellen Ripley was a Flight Lieutenant in the space equivalent of the Merchant Navy. In that sense she IS a Lieutenant but not in a military force. When she travels on the Sulako with the Space Marines she is working for Weyland Yutani Coporation as a consultant to the Space Marines who are part of the colonial military force. Burke is working for Weyland Yutani also and is the company's representative that owns the atmosphere processing plant. So, No. Ripley is not a Space Marine.... but is harder than all of them! |

People keep saying this. And while i understand the theory behind it i really cannot see how a woman dumped into a shit-hole of a situation is more impressive than the 40K marines, who have chainsaw-swords. The sentiment is nice, but there's character and then there's marine-ness. |

Sulaco, my good sir the Sulaco. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2113 Joined: 15 Jun 2008   | If by "space marine" you mean "person in a power suit... IN SPACE", then I would have to say Samus without hesitation. Chick commits genocide and blows up planets as a matter of course. |

Master chief. Also i think they have a suite ready for me there. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1086 Joined: 23 Dec 2008  | Bring on the Flaming bitches. My vote goes to MSgt. Johnson from Halo. |
Muckraker  Posts: 283 Joined: 24 Mar 2008  | The DoomGuy naturally. Back in the days where "backstory" was too afraid to show it's face in sight of the Deamons, but this Marine showed his (and thanks to my playing got pretty bloodied up by the end of the first level). |
