Whilst struggling to defend the hangar of The Nest on Legendary today. I realized how ineffective my allies were in the face of common logic. It occurred to me, but not for the first time, how much more effective my allies would be If I could organize them into squads with different missions and objectives. Such as defending a specific area, obtaining weapons and manning weaponry.
I suggest a roster system which a Spartan can access from the side of the heads up display without pause. Similar or the same to the system utilized by a Spartans II. This system would obviously be a way of controlling your allies similar to Brothers In Arms but it would be unique to Halo in its almost limitless strategic advantages.
