Has anyone ever played Star Wars: Republic Commando? In it you have a squad and with it comes set of commands. See a powerful enemy? Tag them and your squad focuses on the target selected. This idea would work if Reach ad a squad system.

Could a similar system work for Reach? In the novels we read about TeamCOM, a system where each Spartan has statistics about their squad.

What I was thinking was a different versions of the VISR system from ODST. You would put it on with either the X button or with the D-Pad. Enemies and allies are highlighted. Now, with the D-Pad and Joystick you can target enemies or vehicles. Toggle your reticule over said enemy and press a section of the D-Pad thus targeting an enemy.

Using the right and left portions of the D-Pad could also cycle through your squad so you could give individual commands.

Say you have a Spartan with a Sniper Rifle, one with a Rocket Launcher, and one with a Battle Rifle. Target a far off enemy with TeamCOM so the Sniper teaks him out. Respectively target an enemy vehicle so the Rocket man can kill it. The BR guy could provide cover fire for both squad mates if you have him continuously cycle through multiple targets.

Enemies down, move on.

Multiplayer-wise, it could be a great way to help your team. See a far off enemy? Tag him so your team can see it as well.

What do you think?

I would like something like this to be incorporated into Reach it would make the game more Tactical.

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

I would personally like something like this and also have the TEAMBIO to see your teams health status but Joe Staten said that Halo Reach wouldn't have the baggage that comes with squad based games but it would still have a squad so I'm assuming there may not be things like this.

Dude, I was typing out a nicely, well thought thread about exactly this and other elements from Star Wars: Republic Commando, a game I just finished up, when I saw this. Saved me some time.

In short, yes.

Same here bro haha, I have a Notepad file in progress. I have a really short attention span you know? Can't type things for long.

I was playing RC and throughout the game, I was thinking that the Halo Universe needs this game.
