10 Useless Video Game Sidekicks Who Never Had Your Back
5. Marines – Halo: Combat Evolved
The original Halo took the world by storm when it was released alongside Microsoft's debut game console, the Xbox. Trailers and gameplay footage circled the world showing images of hovering drop ships landing on alien beaches in the midst of intense firefights between mankind and an unknown alien race.
Unfortunately, when we actually stepped into the mighty boots of Master Chief ourselves, we quickly discovered our Marine allies were essentially Stormtroopers in green.
The Marines are useless at hitting their targets, do little damage to the enemy when they do, and have an annoying habit of running in front of Master Chief's firing weapons. To make matters worse, once they've run in front of your weapons enough times, they accuse Master Chief of friendly fire and turn on him.
Worst. Soldiers. Ever.
