I just figured instead of having the marines just messing around stupidly and getting killed easily by the covenant.
Wouldn't it just be more logical if we could control them and make them be productful?
I only find them usefull if I give them a rocket luancher or fuel rod gun.
so i just want to hear what you gotta say wheater its just plain dumb or could be useful and explain.

It would, but it would be a complete change in the gameplay. Not that I am averse to such a move.

I say save it for the Halo:untold stories when we get to play as Sergeant Johnson the whole way through the Halo Trilogy. SPINOFF!

I like the idea dude nice. But wouldn't it be fun to have a new type of gameplay? I mean this is it for the human race and if they keep being mindless theres just no point to save them. Plus if there is going to be huge battles it would be nice to have squad to help you. Also it would make use of the d-pad.

Squad commands.

No.

No, no, no, no.

And finally.... no.

I would much prefer Halo to remain an FPS. It seems Bungie have labelled Halo 3 an FPS. I reckon they're gonna give us an FPS. The only way it wouldn't be an FPS is if Bungie told a fib. I don't think they would. So I think it will be an FPS. Halo and Halo 2 are all about being FPS. If Halo and Halo 2 were not FPS then they'd certainly not be FPS. To conclude, I'm going to write FPS again...because I'm odd.

(P.S - I feel ya... but I reckon it'd take some serious pace and atmosphere out of the awe-inspiring brilliance that is Halo)

Not necesarily Ghost Recon esque commands. I think it could be done, but like I say, save it for the *wish wish* Sergeant Johnson game. If ... and it's a big if ... they could make it work as well Brother's in Arms, I would have to buy that game. But I guess that's now what we are talking about is it?

Help a brother out. Click on the referral link, sign up for a fun game, log in once for the next couple of days, then you never have to think about it again!

And yes. I understand how pathetic that is, but nobody reads these things anyway... right?

Exactly, this game (or this series, I can't judge the new one yet) is a shoot 'em up, adding the AI controls would just make it more confusing and blend it with all the other games, like G.R.A.W. I believe that if you would prefer marines that aren't useless, Bungie could just take advantage of the 360's power and give it some kick butt AI so you won't have to worry about them (as much).
