We need cannon fodder!
(Character Development) The marines are characterized at the beginning as well trained and well oiled soldiers that talk cool and guess what? There are even cooler people like Helljumpers. They get the one-liners that make the crowd gasp at their rock-solid coolitude. Then, throughout the rest of the movie, (after slaughtering grunts for comic relief of course), they can't do a single thing useful other than scream and run and the Chief becomes the only significant soldier along with select others (Sarge never dies like the others because he's needed for comic relief).

The game was mostly a one-man show, but I think they really should take this opportunity to shift some influence onto the marines and their struggle ALONG with the Chief, not just in front of him as mutilated corpses.
