sqaud commands would be sweet!! since u generally have 4 marines following u.(in this case 4 spartans)it would be cool to hit the d-pad in a certain derection for the character and a command ring comes up (like in brothers in arms or G.R.A.W) then u tell them where to specifically go by looking around and/or moving and then clicking the right thumbstick. i think thats a kick ass idea.

Meh. I don't know, it seems too much like other games, it doesn't really fit the style of Halo.

I think it should be an option

I mean, some people would like it, some wouldn't. So make it optional.

And a retarded one...Halo isn't meant to be squad-based. It would single-handedly ruin the game. And besides, Bungie has already stated about a hundred times over that there WILL NOT be other Spartans in Halo 3 for various reasons.

Between 1:00 and 1:04, as John walks through the smoke, you can see three quick flashes in the top right corner of his visor, while this happens he is looking up at the Capitol ship entering the area of the Domed Object, after the 3 lights flash, he quickly nods as if he were talking to someone, 3 light flashes for 3 Spartans?

At 1:12 in the video, during the close up on Johns helmet, in the top right (your left) of his visor, a faint light pops up, if you can imagine from the Halo books, when Spartans comunicate to each other the use acknowlagement lights that blink on Master Chiefs HUD, these lights would most likely be in the corner, off to the side of his visor so as not to obscure his vision.
Now, if that is what I think it is, who, and more importantly how is he comunicating with another Spartan? Are we going to see the return of Kelly, Linda, Fred and Will in Halo 3? I can only hope.

Incorrect.

One, Bungie has ALREADY stated about a bazillion times that there WILL BE NO OTHER SPARTANS IN HALO 3!!!

Two, that is lightning. This has been proven, ask anyone.

*sigh*

That's really a lie. Bungie has never said that. If they have, then find it :)

Anywho, I would maaaaaybe take squad-based controls, if they were very minor and implemented well. I've always thought you should have SLIGHT (not GRAW-style) controls over marines, but not much at all.

If Spartans are indeed included, I would rather see them included in a totally separate co-op mission, rather than in campaign alongside the MC.

ahhh, the sweet sound of the halo 3 forum, false leaks and fake quotes.
Bungie has never stated if there would or would not be more spartans in Halo 3.

but, concerning the thread, i dont want complicated controls like graw, i just want controls that are simple and effect the marines around you or the one you are looking at similar to Battlefront 2, they are there, but are not neccesary to the gameplay
