I think it would be okay... but it would have to be Very limited. simple commands like follow, or stay, or maybe even yell out stuff like "i need a driver"... nothing like graw where you can have 'em take cover in certain places or w/e.

Why? Remember we have a 360 here, look at the trailer. I think it can do commands. We don't need it extremly simple.

Yes this is good but it should be simple cause who knows maybe in halo3 you will be alone mostly im just saying like keep it simple like stay here and attack, retreat, just to keep them alive longer it could help in those lendgendary missions.
wow alot of people are really towards this ideal!

It would be cool if it were like republic commando where you tell a marine to get behind a rock and use a sniper or rocket launcher.

for all the positive feedback i think everyones missing something, not that i dont think its a good idea but:

these commands can only be used in non-fighting situations, the d-pad (only space left unused) would take up a hand needed for movement

it really would have to be limited o prediction based commands (ie, is there an enemy through that door or isnt there?) like "stay here" or "follow me", "move there" would be too time consuming and ruin the close-up, fast pace feel of the game

as long as they kept it really simple it would work

I'd be happy if they gave me some sort of control when a Marine is driving the Warthog and I"m on the turret. While using the turret, you don't use the left joystick at all. They should make it so they left joystick can be used to give "suggestions" to the Marine driver. I don't know how many times I have died in a Warthog because the Marine was too stupid to do a basic maneuver like, back up.

Johnson: Marines im going for a walk what will you tell somebody if they come looking for me
Marines: That your on the Covenant Homeworld
wading through waist deep piles of Covenant dead as you unleash you ungodly fury on their poor souls
Johnson: Your Damn Right i am
We are . We are the Shadows. We are Ghosts. We Are the Mirratord.

For the Honor of the Mirratord

yes command over the marines would be good but you should be able to have custimisable commands like you go to settings and change commands or putting a certain command to a certain button or something like that. and when you use the command the MC would say something or make a hand signal.
Command Ideas: hold position,open fire,take cover,enter vehicle,exit vehicle, throw ,follow me, switch from crouch/walk/run to crouch/walk/run,close comabat tactics(wich basicly means try to bash any alein skull close enough.

if they dont just make the -blam- A.I. smarter

smarter A.I. would be good but too much A.I. I think is a bad thing then the marines would be immortal like Sarge they should improve the A.I. but give it some slack (meaning it can make mistakes but not bigs ones)

Right now people are mostly in favor of having control over their marines

I could only guess that maybe in a battle (that might not happen) between Master Chief and his marines and The Arbiter and his elites (no grunts or hunters who tend to stay out of this)
will truly show which side holds the upper hand.
ok that was off topic....

The last with pagan blood.
IMMORTAL.

I totally agree with commands but they should keep them as simple as possible and i really dont want to hear MC yelling commands either. Just keep him quiet.

IMMORTAL.

Also make command for marines in vehicles (sorry for the double post)
