I doubt it, the situation is frantic for humans, you might not have much backup TO call in... Anyway, it adds to desperation if you can't.

The marines now can drive and piolt vehicles so i guess you have a little influence over them (like going to the drivers seat of a wart hog and telling him to GET OUT). Also they will follow you on foot or in vehicle if they can. In the 2003 e3 trailer it showed a marine calling airstrikes. Dont know if it was scripted or if they will be able to do that on there own(would be cool say if you run into a collumn of wraiths and a Marine called in a longsword to clear the way for you).

Yes, if you watch the announcement trailer, you see that huge planet ON FIRE? with Nuclear Mushrooms flaring in the backround? Do you honestly think you can say "Uhhhh....Admiral?Can you send us some men down here?Were outnumbered!" It's not going to happen in a active combat zone, and the last remaining strong point of the human race at that. What you have is what you get.Deal with it.But there a bit smarter now so they Frag and Clear and do many other Special Forces manuvers.

I've been wondering, is that planet Reach or Earth? Cause you can't see the blueberry color anymore, but that may be because of the nukes, also u can't see the continents but that also may be because of the nukes.

It would be awesome if you could actually give a marine an order via the communicator headset like you can in Socom. However, it would really suck if Bungie were to allow that, but they would put in a couple *Boomer-like people that are really dumb. Quite frankly, I hate dealing with entities that have an IQ below room temperature, just like *Boomer.

**** Boomer is a character out of Socom and he is extremely stupid. If you order him not to shoot hostages, he wastes them in about 2 seconds. You tell him to hold his position, you see him right behind you in 30 seconds. I hate him and every time I start a new mission with him I kill him right on the spot. ****

For one thing, its THE ANNOUNCEMENT TRAILER. Just because they show the Earth blowing up in that doesn't mean its gonna happen that way in the game. I don't think you can order the marines around.
