Too much blood and gore. I don't like excessive amounts of violence in literature. Keep it for the movies.

First off, I am a fan of spaces between paragraphs--but I am also a fan of longer paragraphs. I would give you a rating, Zak, but I need to know more about your plot than this story gives.

Now, I think Helljumper gave fairly good advice, but before anyone dismisses the premise of Zak's story, we need to know why the traitor turned. Heck, Helljumper, maybe he found a wrinkle you hadn't thought of. It is possible. The traitor could be insane, for instance. Also, although I agree with HJ about the sandbags, I would reject them for being too much like our own culture, not for their absence in the books. I would hope that we would all add something that isn't found in the books.

"Helljumper thunks he knows everything. YOU ARE ALL PUSSIES"

What's so odd about that? You think you rule this site, which I find psycotic(sp?).

Besides, your knowledge extends to sexual harrasment, general jackass attitude, and finding the CAPS LOCK. [sarcasm]Definately something to yell at Helljumper for.[/sarcasm ]

It was a uneven (you use *** as a breakline, then an ACTUAL breakline), and you didn't really detail things, such as the Marines attacking two Elites.

The story was some what off. First the Covenant wouldn't work with human traitors. They hate humans and kill them all. Humans know this and survival isn't even enough to make a human turn traitor cause it wouldn't make a difference. The story was rushed and kinda short. I was confused at times.
The Covenant don't use sandbags, thats more human. There is no where inthe game or in the book where they use sandbags.
You really don't have a writing style that makes for a good story. You should read more stories from myself, Mainevent, MCC, CoLdBloodeD and other vetern writers. Writing is an art and you want to capture emotion and details so that the reader develops feelings for characters.
At least you used the code, but i'm not a fan of spaces between paragraphs.
Oh yea u kept saying Platoon but i think you meant squad. A platoon is 30-40 Marines commanded by a Lieutenant, a squad is no more than 10 because thats how many a Pelican can hold and is commanded by a Sergeant like your unit in the story.

Hmmm. Traitors--don't like them but I understand the underlying motivation (survival). I guess desperation can give birth to both traitors and heroes and our moral center (or lack of it) is what tips the balance? Nice fic.
