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 Online

In Battlefield Online, the USMC is pitted against the Russian Army.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2

In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the United States Marines Corps makes a brief appearance in two singleplayer missions: Operation Aurora, where the player is part of a World War II Marine operation against the IJN, and in High Value Target, where Bad Company gets support from the modern Marines against Russian forces. The modern Marines all use the same character model as the US Army's Assault kit model from multiplayer.

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.

Battlefield 4

Singeplayer

In Battlefield 4, the United States Marine Corps is the main protagonist's faction, and the player controls Marine Sergeant Daniel Recker of Tombstone Squad in the single-player campaign.

Notable Personnel

Engagements

In South China Sea, the USMC fights off invading PLA troops trying to board the USS Valkyrie. After Tombstone escapes the burning USS Titan and re-enters the Valkyrie, Tombstone then fights its way up to the flight deck with the help of the Marines onboard.

In Singapore, the USMC launch an amphibious assault on Singapore in order to destroy a PLA-held airport which was going to be used to launch air attacks on the surviving Seventh Fleet.

In Tashgar, the USMC engages the Russian Ground Force. It is hinted that the RGF have the upper hand in the fight as the USMC has been pushed out of the airport in new town to old town. The RGF also have SAM sites under a dam in the area. With the assistance of Tombstone, the USMC manages to take down missile sites and regain air superiority. To thank Tombstone, Major Greenland sends them back to the USS Valkyrie in Suez Canal, Egypt.

Weapons Used

During the campaign, Marines outside of Tombstone are represented by their multiplayer models, with and without alterations. The most common skin to appear is the Assault, sometimes with slight modifications. The Engineer also appears, with no modification, and the Support skin appears in Tashgar. 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, Final Stand, and Night Operations.

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 by default.

Soldier Camouflages

By default, Marines in multiplayer are equipped with OEF-CP camouflage, but can unlock faction specific camouflages from Battlepacks, such as UCP or MAPRAT. Camouflages like Splinter and Fire Starter receive a unique scheme for the USMC when equipped.

The following are the camouflages exclusive to the USMC in Battlefield 4:

Camouflage	Intel	Requirements
Default (OEF-CP)	Standard issue camouflage produced by the US Department of Defense (DOD) for issue in Afghanistan to USMC and other ISAF forces.	Unlocked By Default
MARPAT Desert	Marine Pattern digital camouflage designed by computers to blend in more effectively than organic designs. This is the desert variation.	Battlepack Item
Chocolate Chip	Affectionately nicknamed after the famous cookie from the US, this camouflage saw heavy service in the Persian Gulf.	Battlepack Item
UCP	The Army's version of digital camouflage, following the lead of the USMC. Essentially MARPAT in a different set of colors that performs ok in any environment.	Battlepack Item
Vine Leaf	Early USMC camouflage sometimes also called "wine leaf." A rare pattern that saw some service during Vietnam and in other Asian theaters.	Battlepack Item
MARPAT Woodland	Marine Pattern digital camouflage designed by computers to blend in more effectively than organic designs. This is the woodland variation.	Battlepack Item
Fire Starter	Release your inner pyro.	Complete Second Assault assignment Fire Starter
ERDL	Named for the US Army Engineer Research and Development Laboratory, this woodland camo is probably the most widely used pattern in the world.	Premium Item Only
Tiger Stripe	Tiger stripe camouflage pattern very popular with US Military personal in Vietnam, especially as a status symbol for elite units.	Premium Item Only
Splinter	Recolor of the modern Swedish Splinter camouflage pattern customized for elite units.	Veteran Battlepack Item
Tricolor Desert	3 color desert design made famous during the original Desert Storm campaign. Also carries the unofficial nickname of "coffee stain."	Battlepack Item

Default kits

The following loadouts shown below are the kit defaults for the USMC in Battlefield 4's multiplayer mode. Unlike Battlefield 3, there are no asymmetric starting weapons (and thus no faction-specific weaponry), and the starting gear and weapons are shared across all three factions, similar to Bad Company 2.

Vehicles

The following are vehicles available to Marines in multiplayer. Other vehicles, like the Centurion C-RAM and the LCAC, are also used by the USMC faction, but cannot be directly controlled by the player. Vehicles used by other factions can also be commandeered by Marines if they are not be operated by an enemy player.

Trivia

General

The Marines have appeared in almost every Battlefield game to date, with the exception of Battlefield 2142, Battlefield 1, 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.
A-10 Thunderbolt II and AH-6J Little Bird are not actually used by the Marines, but by the, Air Force and Army respectively.

Battlefield Vietnam

In Battlefield Vietnam the Marines are shown as being the most muscular of the factions.

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 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.
