Everyone who has played Halo regularly over the years has found out that if you give your Marine buddies a power weapon, they miraculously become more than worthless while playing on higher difficulties because they have infinite ammo and pretty decent aim.
Now, how is this going to translate to your Spartan fireteam members in H5?
Equipping your entire gang with rocket launchers or snipers, in addition to infinite ammo, would obviously nullify the intended difficulty of many encounters.
Linda and Kelly apparently spawn with a sniper and shotgun respectively, both of which are unquestionably power weapons.
So how is this going to be handled?
Or has this already been answered but I just couldn’t find it?
I think they’re going to have infinite ammo. There’s been no word on this yet.
I’d assume they’d play just as marines would in other games, except this time they’re worth something to you. So yeah, Infinite ammo.
Sniper Rifles for everyone then! :V
No, they don’t have infinite ammo. They even said a few months ago that this is the first time they use their own ammo and scavenge for new weapons as well I believe.

This is almost as bad as giving the AI rocket launchers. They say they are on your team… They say they are on your team(looks at marine)…until they team kill you.

I would appreciate it if you could find a source. Thanks.

Do you have a source for that? I’d be very appreciative.
if they actually have to search for weapons that would be a cool mechanic
A Spartan with infinite ammo is one thing, now three with infinite ammo, do you even have to play campaign or just let them do the work?
I just hope friendly AIs are worth a yoink. In past Halo games they AIs have been pretty much worthless especially on legendary difficulty. I was glad they have infinite ammo before because they were barely good if you gave them power up weapons. As mainly a solo player I am not looking forward to having computer AIs on my “team”.
I thought AI were always given info infinite ammo.
I expect nonetheless.
I remember going through nearly every Halo doing my very best to equip my passengers with rockets and “Finish The Fight” in our Warthog! UNSC!
I do think they said the rest of Blue Team would have to look for ammo as well; but I can’t remember if they were talking about your human teammates or the AI. I think it was during one of the interviews during E3 maybe?
Id hope they had infinite ammo
then they can be used as full canon fodder for me nd my marines
I wouldn’t mind enemy AI having infinite ammo, just so long as they reload or cool down their weapons.
As for allies, they need finite ammo and reloading and scavenging ( maybe not on easy, but who plays on easy??)
