SNIPE SOME GRUNTS ON THE WAY OUT!

ever come to a position where you have a marine in the passenger seat of your warthog and a ODST just standing there. you would obviously want the ODST to come along, but you cant get that marine to switch places with the ODST!

well... what if we could give direct orders to the AI around us. like follow me, get out, get in, go ahead, wait here etc. i would be very happy with bungie if they can do so in halo reach.

Damn you 353 guilty spark! You killed the greatest stereotypical african american gun toting sergeant ever to tread upon a fictional futuristic setting!

I honestly think Marines and ODSTs in Halo are equally useless. I like the ODST (or at least the concept of a hell jumper) but they are just too dumb to be of any use. If I need a good gunner in a warthog, I will get on Co-op with someone.

they should also improve the way the AI work. in halo 3 marines over do it. one example is when a marine is on a turret. they keep shooting the target even when dead.

I'm ok with the blood lust. I mean my all time favorite line in Halo 1 is when you are trying to rescue captain keyes and that one marines says "get up, get up so I can kill you again." If they want to waste bullets on alien corpses so be it. The thing they need to tweak is the attention span, and combat capabilities of a marine. I mean they never kill anything except for the occasional grunt.

I don't see commands working in halo. unless completely altered to play fluently. the marines and every thing really just needs better AI and placement.

you are so right my friend.

I would like to see some AI spartans running around though. One problem I always felt playing Halo is I feel like as the Master Chief, I am the only person on the human side of the conflict that actually poses a threat to the covenant. It doesn't feel like a war, it feels like John vs. an alien collective.

Spartans fight in squads, so we will all most definitively play in a squad of Spartans.

As you may or may not know, certain pictures surfaced recently showing supposed leaks. These showed what appears to be a squad command option, probably linked to the D-pad.

Keep in mind that this is just speculation. We'll have to wait and see.

Look out.... -boom- (headshot)
I told you to look out, but know, you got in my way, was going to shoot that splaser....

I don't see how you all are getting all of this, in Halo Combat Evolved they kicked ass, especially when they have sniper and rockets, Halo 2 kinda stupid but give them a rocket launcher they still do kick ass, but they tk, Halo 3 is when they start acting like complete idiots.
