I think it would be awesome in Halo 2 if you could order your Marine allies to do a few actions, since we all know how good they were at making decisions in Halo. The D-pad has 8 directions, and several commands could be mapped to them. A few I can think of are "Cover Me", "Take Cover", "Advance", "Diversion", have a command to attack what you currently are attacking. IYou could issue these orders, and any nearby Marines would carry them out to the best of their ability. This might be a -blam!- to bug-test though, but the tactics available would be unprecedented in an FPS. I know Lucas Arts did this in Rogue Squadron 2, and it worked really well, except the enemy AI was completely retarded. Of course Halo 2 won't have that problem
