Overview:
The UNSC Marine Corps is a branch of the UNSCDF that is responsible for land-based military operations, as well as the protection of Naval vessels and installations from attack. A rugged and diverse assortment of well equipped and well trained men and women, one of the Marine Corps's most notable conflicts was fighting a losing war against the Covenant's highly superior technology and numbers.
Equipment:
The standard issue weapon for UNSC Marines Corps is the MA5 series of assault rifles. Most Marines were issued the MA5B variant until its replacement in late 2552 by the BR55HB SR and MA5C. Suppressive fire was provided by the M247 GPMG during the Battle of Earth, presumably replaced by the AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun by the time of the Battle of Voi. Special forces and vehicle crews are issued M7 and M7S Submachine Gun variants, with personal sidearms such as the M6 Series.
Snipers operate the SRS 99 AM, SRS 99C-S2 AM and SRS 99D-S2 AM sniper rifle variants for anti-materiel and anti-personnel operations, with the M99 Special Application Scoped Rifle used as a dedicated anti-materiel weapon. Standard UNSC sniper teams consists of two operators; a spotter and a sniper. Anti-armor fire is provided by the M19 and M41 rocket or missile launchers and the W/AV M6 G/GNR Spartan Laser directed-energy-weapon. Anti-air fire is provided by the M19-B SAM Missile Launcher, capable of destroying Banshees and damaging Seraph fighters.

So who wins? Marine or Trooper? My vote goes to the trooper. Mainly due to that the Marines main weapon is a projectile round, which is all but blocked by the Stormtroopers armor. The E-11 Blaster Carbine would have no trouble blasting a marine to bits.

Actually, Stormtroopers all had elite training, and their accuracy was incredible, when against non-main characters (Han, Leia, Luke ...)And remember, the troopers armor blocks all projectile rounds. If the marines had laser then yes, there would be high imperial casualties, but with just their default weapons, only grenades and fragmentation would have a chance of harming the trooper.

Marines Have Heat-resistant armor potentially nullifying the damage done by by a Blaster Carbine, because as stated the carbine has weak stopping power, and low accuracy. The best chance a stormtrooper would have taking down a marine is by hitting him in the unshielded face, or overwhelming him with fire, I'd say 1 on 1 marines would win, but the stormtroopers beat the marines in sheer numbers, (also marines run out of ammo much quicker) leading me to conclude in a large scale firefight Troopers would win.

Good point, but the troopers weapons have an array of different specialities, like the stun ray. The troopers will use stun instead of lasers due to the marines heat resist armor.

Heat resist armor doesn't resist all heat. Take a look at blaster workings from the Wikia:
There's no way a sheet of (probably) Kevlar can take a blaster shot to the chest if the Stormtroopers' bulletproof (even up with high caliber rounds like 7.62 NATO (just BTW, it's what the MA5B shoots)) have it melted through with a blaster shot.
The Empire still wins with sheer logistical strength. It can simply produce, move, and distribute equipment and personnel far faster and in greater numbers than the Covenant can. Their intelligence agencies are also efficient, unlike the Covenant's (from what I've seen.)
There's more to war than just having a bigger gun.
expecting an infraction here, cause i know what i said is wrong :3
No, the ther one was called executor. The class was named after it. It was the Executor and the Lusankya.
Yes, and the third one was called Knight Hammer. That's what I meant by "other."
Nuh uh. I have an article on it but I'll PM it to you because it's got swearing.
