NO this is halo not ghost Recon that would ruin gameplay.

I don't think there will be any squad commands considering the first two games didn't have any, plus you won't always have allies with you

Yes but it would be nice to get the to do the things you want to , like get in the drivers seat of a warthog and bring it to you. Or if you need help killing somethings getting them to focus on that.

Yes, I would like squad commands. It would be easier to command some Marines then let the AI be stupid and just have them stand there or get in your way. Some Brothers in Arms-style command system would be simple and easy to use.

Yes, but boosted AI wouldn't allow you to stop marines shooting enemies if you could see a possible silent kill and thing like that.

I see your point but also , say if you were defending a station with marines by your side and turrets nearby, I would want the marine with the worse gun on the turret and the marine with the better gun covering me, it's not as if you HAVE to use then commands its just nice if you want them to do more advanced things like a pincer movement.

that's very true, but i think it takes away from the classic halo gameplay

if they have commands at all, they should be simple
(just press the d-pad up, down, left, or right)

well i dont think you will have a "squad" to give squad cokmands to in halo 3, unless we get 3 other spartans as our squad, but that wuld get too easy lol, but i would like to be able to give marines simple commands, like retreat, attack etc

It would be cool if you could use your head as a command thingy, you can say hold position and the marines won't follow or just say follow and they follow or like assualt and every marine fires at everything that would be kind of cool, but more than anything make the marines smarter because just today I played campaign and I tried to jack a wraith and the marines kept shooting at the wraith while me on it, kind of retarded for that to happen...
bungie just needs to make smarter ai,they should know wat to shoot and wat not shoot....yea they shouldnt shoot you

No, what I am saying is the Marines can do their own thing if thats what you want but if you don't on want to go Rambo on the floods slightly smelly squidgy bottoms then squad commands could be used. I mean wouldn't it be nice to have a choice.
