Maybe in Campaign you can call air support using a botton on the directional pad or the select botton. Thatll be cool.

But maybe considering the New Mombasa level, so maybe certain levels.

Doubt it. I think that was just something that is scripted to happen

ye, the bombing was scripted, ie it was supposed to happen for the story as such. no buttons we're pressed to call them in, it just happened.
Out of curiosity when playing that level and when the sarge asks for covers you simply let him die, will he still call in the air strike or will the big covenant thing succeed in destroying its target making the rest of the level different?

I heard we will be able to call in sniper and mortar support. I don't know however if "we" meant the marines AI or players or both.

The marines AI has been posted to the point that i read somewhere that they can understand when they need a sniper or cover support...

I really cannot see you calling in a longsword bombing... it would be too linear... to scripted... it think it will just as we saw at E3

And yes a level where you protect the sarge or you die would be crap... why protect the sarge is he now the president or summut... ?

....I really liked Halo because I never had to protect any one. Who cares if a Sarge dies...Theres bound to be someone else with a radio...Oh and if its scirpted I dont think the sarge will die. After watching that video dosent even look like the covies shoot at him cant really tell but.
