Give some detailed feedback please of what your ideas and suggestions are.

I'd like to be able to send different allies to certain positions for attack and defense reasons in campaign.

For instance, being able to tell Spartans, Marines and Hell jumpers to hide behind a tree, retreat into cover, drive a vehicle, don't drive a vehicle, form up and attack and run for help.

See you on the battlefield.

If there are squad commands, they really should only be issuable to fellow Spartans. I don't like the idea of having command of a force that's only good at friendly fire and dying.

Actually, that might be a bad idea, since Bungie can't seem to figure out how to make friendly AI work anymore.

There is nothing wrong with Halo:Reach. We all just have our gripes about everything we don't like. Not liking something doesn't make it broken.

Hey! You are SO cold! Everyone knows that they are ALSO quite GOOD at shooting corpses and cracking witty one-liners.

Geez...You people need to give more respect to the UNSC AI...They work hard you know.

Maybe with the given command, you would see a hand signal for each command...i really would like a more aggressive and realistic AI

if they had that Id like it to be how it is in Republic Commando where you only have to give orders at certain areas. having to constantly issue and re-issue orders sounds like it would be a reeeeeeeeal pain. :\

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

I'd do with something very simple.

Maybe d-pad up and down could do it.
By default it's "follow me"
When you press down it's "stay here"
When you press up it's "move out"
When you're on "move out" and you press up it goes back to "follow" etc.

More than anything it should work as "AI refreshing option" like in GTA. Halo AI often gets stuck and this could prevent it. AI has to react to commands when it's shut down.
