Fighting along Spartans should feel like fighting along Spartans! Make them do more damage, make them quick to react like Elites! Make them choose targets based on the weapon they are holding, and increase their engagement range! Jeeze, why is Halo so afraid of good allied AI? I mean at least when you were fighting along side Noble team you felt like a badass because in mass they did some damage, but these Spartans fight like they don’t know how to use a controller.
This is something I always hope will get better with each new Halo game, however I actually think Halo 4 may have taken a step back this time…
Noble Team did about the same damage as any friendly AI (which was nerfed and is still reduced in Halo 4). It’s just that they lasted infinitely allowing them to consistently land their shots.
Anyways, yeah the Spartan IVs leave room for improvement. They’re at least decent with power weapons but that’s almost always been the case with Halo’s friendly AI.
