Personally, I feel that very specific commands, like "kill this target," are hallmarks of lazy AI scripting, especially in this next generation. (possible exception to Rainbow Six and other such games, but still...) If your allies can't figure out that they should shoot the Grunt priming a plasma grenade instead of the grunt with a plasma pistol that has its back turned, then that's too bad for them. The more general the commands, the better; even more prferaable if the game didn't need them at all.
