[edit] Many Problems
Okay, so not only does this page of the wrong name (they are referred to as troopers all the time, and marine is only used in "Marine Task Force"). I had to type a dozen different titles to find this page, so I created a bunch of redirects.
Also, the speculation on the page is horrific, things like "restricted movement" and "energized projectiles" are pure speculation, especially since the projectiles are the same in Corruption, even doing the same damage (the rounds do the same damage as the power beam). I realise that it's implied that these are ammunition rounds (mainly because of the noise and references to ammunition), but nothing in corruption says these aren't the same rounds.
Finally, you need to provide better pictures. The one at the top is fine, obviously, and I can deal with the Corruption trooper image (at least until a cleaner one can be found), but the PED and Demolition images are too small and fuzzy, both can and should be replaced with cleaner and more depictive images. Look at the models in the logbook and use a capture card or something. 97.114.247.102 22:45, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Nevermind, I don't have a problem with the name, I was wrong.12.202.122.255 03:02, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
To discuss merging Galactic Federation trooper with this article, please do so here.--Richard 21:38, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
Oh yes it should, this article is small. MarioGalaxy2433g5 12:09, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Possible fanon
The code for the infobox includes a line that reads "Notable Commanders: General Dyssia." This hasn't appeared in the page yet, probably because it doesn't mesh with the infobox, but even so, I don't ever remember hearing that name in conjunction with Metroid. And while the entire "Assault on Zebes" section is based on the backstory of Metroid and MZM, it's written with a non-canon amount of detail, especially regarding the unidentified corpse. Are these things safe to use as canon? --Rundus 06:16, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
- Hmm. Non-canon does not equal fanon. Fanon is anything that is not canon that does not meet the non-canon definition: licensed works that are not considered canon. For example, the Star Trek TV series and movies are considered the canon component, the animated series, video games, and comics are considered non-canon because they are licensed but do not fall into the canon part of the series, and everything else is fan-fiction. If the "Assault on Zebes" part comes from the e-manga or one of the Nintendo comics, it is non-canon and should be kept. However, I actually recently deleted the article on General Dysisa (I think that is what you mean), as it is non-licensed non-canon, making it fanon. Yes, the line is fuzzy, but it is safe to assume the above for this article. --FastLizard4{ADMIN} (Talk|Contribs|Logs) 06:25, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
- All right, thanks. Sorry for whining so much about this. I guess I care about keeping out fanon a little too much. --Rundus 07:17, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The thing on the PED troopers back is a phazon supply;
Someone said it was a jetpak it's not. Where do you think they get the PHapozn from? It even says it in the trailer.
- You are right. It is a phazon supply, but it also consist of a jetpack which can make them fly. Most of the troopers got some sort of a jetpack on their equipment. You can see dead PED Marines who froze in the air while they were flying, onboard GFS Valhalla... - PED Marine 18:37 10. may 2008 (UTC) - Good hunting!
[edit] Projectiles?
When was it ever said that their weapons used projectiles? 71.255.71.176 03:33, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] The GFS Olympus Fleet
Isn't that fleet part of the Federation navy considering how they are orbiting and protecting Sector Zero (A federation navy base)?
