The United States Marine Corps (USMC) is a branch of the United States Armed Forces responsible for providing force projection from the sea, using the mobility of the United States Navy. They are also featured in every Battlefield game except Battlefield 2142, Battlefield: Bad Company, Battlefield Heroes, and Battlefield Hardline

Battlefield 2

The USMC Theme Tune

In Battlefield 2, the United States Marine Corps is one of the default playable three factions. They engage against the People's Liberation Army and the Middle Eastern Coalition.

In Battlefield 2: Armored Fury, the USMC fight the PLA and MEC in the new maps. In Battlefield 2: Special Forces, they are replaced by the United States Navy SEALs.

Engagements Against the PLA

Songhua64 Songhua Stalemate: The stalemate continues on the banks of this river where both teams are fired up. Long range combat and vehicles clash in the center of the map, where it is gives way to small hills and swampy terrain.
BF2 Dalian Plant Dalian Plant: A nuclear facility is a huge focus on this map. Though surrounding docks make the battle leading up to the facility closer in combat. But remember, vehicles of all sorts will be driving, flying and swimming their way around the coast.
OilfieldBF2 Daqing Oilfields: In the heart of these rolling hills sits an oilfield. The oil may feed the vehicles around the map, but longish range combat fuels the battle. Many buildings in the facility though, house close quarters combat.
IngameMapFuShe Pass FuShe Pass: This pass contains a river that forces the combat up stream. Sight lines are long and narrow helping to force the battle to tight infantry fights. Air and naval Vehicles though, can go around without restrictions. Ground though, are like their infantry brethren.
Operation Blue Pearl ingameMap Operation Blue Pearl: A final stand that puts both forces into a flooded city. Navy and the few ground forces that are their will help fight the battle. Close quarters is the name of the game here as you fight for what isn't submerged.
IngameMapDragonBF2 Dragon Valley: Amphibious, vehicular, air and infantry will storm this valley that is gorged out of a river that forks halfway through. More long and narrow combat helps to progress the battle forward throughout the valley.
Crashed Zero 02 Wake Island 2007: A classic brought into the modern warfare scene. One team on carrier attacks the other that captured the island. Naval invasion will be the name of the game on this long ranged island assault.
BF2 Midnight Sun (AF) Midnight Sun: This city wraps around the bay making long range, vehicular combat a linear affair as it pushes into the heart of the land. Naval combat pushes in between each strand of land and the air can engage anywhere.

Battlefield 1943

"First formed in 1775 during the American Revolution, the Marines have been a mainstay of the US Armed Forces ever since. Securing their popular reputation as an invaluable asset to the US Military, the iconic image of Marines raising the flag at Iwo Jima tells the tale of their bravery. Join their forces and command a sturdy Sherman on the battlefield!"

— Official Website Description

In Battlefield 1943, the United States Marine Corps is one of the two factions, fighting against the Imperial Japanese Navy on every map. They seem to use dark green to represent themselves, as their uniforms, vehicles and even some of their weapons are dark green, as opposed to the IJN's beige-colored uniforms.

Battlefield P4F Oman Screen Oman: A large scale attack on this construction site is underway, ripping through the city. Large scale vehicle combat assists long range fighting. Close quarters determines your fate, though, once you enter a building.
SharqiScreenP4F Sharqi: A peninsula that houses the headquarters of a prominent tv station, has been ripped apart by combat. Close quarters urban combat supports helicopters, land vehicles and a boat or two. Though snipers might find haven on the ramparts of all sorts of structures.

Battlefield P4F Dalian Screen Dalian: This nuclear facility is the site of more close range combat. The docks nearby house most of the fighting leading up to the facility. Airborne, waterborne and land vehicles will be going up and down the coastline, looking for their next target.
Clean-Mashtuur-Map Mashtuur: Divided in name and spirit, this map features intense urban, close quartered combat and a divide right in between two sides of the city. Air vehicles will have fun navigating the map in its majority will land vehicles will be funneled around streets and a bridge.
BFP4F Myanmar Loading Screen Myanmar: The jungles here will be cruel, reducing everything to closer quarter combat. Vehicles are only land vehicles that can fight back the foliage. An old temple stands in the center making for a very focused fight.

Battlefield 3

Singeplayer

In Battlefield 3, the United States Marine Corps is the main protagonist's faction. The player controls Marine Staff Sergeant Henry Blackburn of Misfit Squad, in the single-player campaign. He is controlled in most singleplayer missions, in an effort against the Iranian People's Liberation and Resistance, in the year 2014. They eventually come into a quick skirmish with the Russian Paratroop, the VDV, in the mission Rock and a Hard Place.

Within the campaign they also control another Marine, but in the 1st Tank Battalion. His name is Jonathan Miller and is playable in two missions of the single-player missions. Within both of these missions, he is on his way to assist Misfit within their task in the heart of Tehran. He fights only the PLR faction in these segments.

Finally, the Recon skin makes two appearances -- in Singapore as part of Anvil 2, and in Tashgar where Molina uses its model with no facewrap. The Marines use either an M16A4 with no attachments or an M4 with a red dot sight.

Multiplayer

In multiplayer, the United States Marine Corps fights against both the People's Liberation Army and the Russian Ground Force. The USMC is featured as one of the default factions on most maps, the exceptions being Golmud Railway and Lancang Dam, where the RGF and PLA are engaging each other instead. The USMC is featured by default in every expansion, fighting the PLA in China Rising, Naval Strike, and Dragon's Teeth, and the RGF in Second Assault and Final Stand.

Due to the choice of factions on a map being up to the server operator, the USMC can appear on any map against any other faction, including the USMC itself, if the server owner so wishes.

These are the maps that the USMC fights on without server tampering

USMC vs. PLA

Image Map
Battlefield 4 Paracel Storm Screenshot 2 Paracel Storm: An archipelago with bridges that connect each island. The map offers a mixture of naval, aerial, and infantry combat. Part way through, a storm will will blow its way in.
Hainan Resort Hainan Resort: A resort that's on mostly flat land, right by the sea. Long range engagements will take place all around the hotel but when the fighting reaches the interior of the hotel, it's all close quarters
Dawnbreaker Dawnbreaker: This city was in conflict all night and the dawn is coming, and will come. Very tight, urban combat that features aerial, vehicular and infatry combat. Close quarters fighting takes hold inside some skyscrapers
Flood Zone Flood Zone: Raining has partially flooded this city. There are many shacks and ways up onto all sorts of buildings. Urban vehicular combat turns naval combat once the levee breaks.
Mp siege Siege of Shanghai: Tight city streets that will make you fight for every block. Close quarters reign supreme, even with the tanks, helicopters and attack boats you can hop into. The center skyscraper can become a concrete jackhammer with a few well placed shots
BF4 Dragonpass (CR) Dragon Pass: A muddy valley that's in between rolling hills and mountains. A river in the middle will have you fighting at long range. Aerial vehicles and land vehicles will compete at any range
BF4 Silkraoad (CR) Silk Road: Long range desert combat allows for just about any type of vehicle combat. All of this combat focuses on a military base that offers close quarters combat
BF4 AltaiRange (CR) Altai Range: A temperate mountain range that is extreme long range and vehicles own complete supremacy of the map. A weather and radar station up a mountain becomes the main, all close quarters combat center
BF4 Guilinpeaks (CR) Guilin Peaks: Within these green valleys, close quarters combat is the only way to live. Almost no vehicles appear, except some transport vehicles that make you work as a team.
Nansha Strike Preview Image (NS) Nansha Strike: A man made archipelago and a natural archipelago merge together to form some on island long range combat. Within the buildings, close quarters weapons can make you king. Navy combat rages on out in the ocean and air combat in the skies
Lost Island Preview Image (NS) Lost Island: Forgotten islands that house a downed plane in the center. It's close quarters in the plane but the rest of the map is long range and vehicular.
Wave Breaker Preview Image (NS) Wave Breaker: A submarine base in a mountain, creates close quarters fighting that can only be interrupted by boat or helicopter that are curious. Outside, long range and vehicular fighting defends the hill
Operation Mortar Preview Image (NS) Operation Mortar: An island paradise resort, turned warzone that forces you into long range and vehicular fighting. Inside a hillside fortress, close quarters is the only way to make it through the tunnels alive

USMC vs. RGF

Image Map
Mp abandoned Zavod 311: A map set in the forest, largely revolving around an old tank factory. It features limited vehicular combat, with relatively short sightlines compared to the other vehicle-centric maps.
Operation Locker 2 Operation Locker: A large, two-level map which is largely enclosed. Featuring only infantry combat, it is almost purely close-quarters, with only a few corridors inside and two pathways along the outer edge.
BF4 oman (SA) Gulf of Oman: A fairly built-up map focused in and around a construction site. Vehicles play a large role on this map, but with short sightlines there is just as much need for infantry.
BF4 firestorm (SA) Operation Firestorm: The fire flows in this wide, open desert petroleum facility. It is largely vehicle-based, with only a few clusters of buildings for shorter ranged infantry engagements.
BF4 metro (SA) Operation Metro: Years later, the fighting has come back to a very familiar subway and park. Close quarters has you scrambling in the subway and longish range combat in the park.
Caspian Border (SA) Caspian Border: A large, mostly-open map focusing on vehicular combat. There are very few buildings on this map, and trees can be uprooted, and as a result sightlines on this map can get very long.
BF4 opwhiteout (FS) Operation Whiteout: Oh, the weather outside is frightful, in this blizzard engulfed map. It will be a chilling vehicle warzone, with long range support from infantry; just remember that the blizzard will fade in and out as time goes on!
BF4 hangar21 (FS) Hangar 21: The precursor to a magnificent futuristic war machine, sits in its hangar, that was recently turned warzone. Traverse this long range map, in man cannons to help assist your vehicle brethren. Close quarters is huge in the similarly intense hangar. The night though, will make it difficult to see.
BF4 hammerhead (FS) Hammerhead: A snowed in submarine base becomes the home of some intense vehicle fighting, with as many as three attack choppers in the sky! Long range will be the primary style all around the map. Light snow flurries are expected!
BF4 giantsofkarelia (FS) Giants of Karelia: The giants are here. You will be fighting amongst the prototypes of futuristic walkers, in an underground bunker that act as close quarters central. Once you get outside though, vehicular and long range combat will be the way to live.

Trivia

General

  • The Marines have appeared in almost every Battlefield game to date, with the exception of Battlefield 2142 and the original Bad Company.
  • In every Vietnam or Modern-based game, at least one of the multiplayer characters of the USMC is African American, though Battlefield 4 is possibly an exception, with the USMC Assault's race being unspecified. 
  • The F-18E Super Hornet, A-10 Thunderbolt II and AH-6J Little Bird are not actually used by the Marines, but by the Navy, Air Force and Army respectively.

Battlefield Vietnam

Battlefield 2

  • Very early in Battlefield 2 (probably Alpha), the USMC looked very different & their voices were completely different as seen in this video.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2

  • In the campaign of Battlefield: Bad Company 2, HMMWVs belonging to the USMC are actually marked "U.S. Army". This is most likely due to the same vehicle/kit models being used for both the Army and Marine forces in the game.

Battlefield 3

  • In the Battlefield 3 Beta, the assault class Marine was Caucasian, however, in the retail game he is African American. The Support Class was also originally Caucasian, however in the game the Support Class Marine looks Hispanic.
  • Certain entries on Battlelog refer to the multiplayer force as the US Army, instead of the Marines.
  • The USMC in Battlefield 3 are always the attackers in Rush and Squad Rush on every map.
  • The USMC in Battlefield 3 first-person model is the same as Blackburn's, despite their 3rd person appearance all having different gloves (with the exception of the Assault).
  • There was a graphical issue with the American Assault kit, as the Marine is African American in third person but he appeared Caucasian in first person view due to the skin tone of his arms. This was fixed in a later patch.

Battlefield 4

  • The Marines' default uniform camouflage seems to be MultiCam. In reality, MultiCam is used by U.S. Army personnel deploying to Afghanistan, USSOCOM, and U.S. Air Force personnel deploying to Afghanistan. However, MARSOC, which is the special forces command in-charge of Marines assigned to Marine Special Operations Battalions, are part of SOCOM, possibly hinting the Marines in Battlefield 4 may be special forces. It was stated by U.S. Army officials that the MultiCam variation will be used by the year 2014, but the Marine Corps have no plans to adopt the camouflage.[1]
  • The Assault's outfit appears to be the standard Battle Dress Uniform at the time of the events of Battlefield 4, as it is worn by numerous Marines, Major Greenland, SSgt. Dunn (albeit with his own tigerstripe replacing the MultiCam), and Sergeant Recker.
