I'm wondering if you guys would think being able to control the marines would be good, instead of seeing marines randomly firing, you could ask them to concentrate their fire on ghost or something

I think that they should be able to do what they think is best.

I dont want the level of control like a tom clancy game, but i want to be able to tell marines to get into certain vehicles, but thats it, they can fire at what they want i just want to be able to tell them to get into vehicles.

"The way of the warrior is the path of shadow. The gift of the warrior is to percieve that which cannot be seen. The spirit of the warrior is to strike in a single moment. The destiny of the warrior is balance in all things. And when balance is lost... all that is left is the reckoning."

It'd be nice if you could do something where you could maybe have some marines follow you if you want help. But like someone said, I don't want a Tom Clancy game, just the ability to do minor things.

I want to see some basic control, really just telling a group to go here or there, and/or concentrate their fire in an area.

that might be cool...but it'd be a lot like uh... oh crap. I forgot the name of that game... the game has a sequel to it...and it's called "The name that I forgot" and then "Island Thunder" ...I think...

i agree that that you should tell marines to get in a certain vehicle because its really hard to get them to do that in halo 1

marine snipers would make the game really one sided, but i hated when marines ran over you with ghosts and stuff....

No, I'm sure bungie will want the marines to be so smart that you don't need to control them. They should adapt and choose their actions without you having to waste time ordering them around.

It'd be cool if you could use the live communicator to do so. Either way, I'll be happy...

I want the marines to be smart, I don't want to have to tell them to shoot here or take cover for them to do it. i do however want to be able to tell them what to do with voice. An example would be telling a marine to get in the drivers seat and giving him driving directions.
