What if after a boost or maybe just whenever you could click a certain button and you get to play as that unit. For instance if my marine squad isn’t doing to good, I can play just to give a boost in survival rate. Maybe a spartan, Elite, maybe even a vulture. We saw something like this in halo wars. Maybe they will add it again but better into halo wars 2. What do you guys think? Good or bad Idea?
When did we see this in Halo Wars? Like how you could take control of the Arbiter? Also, haven’t you seen the vast amounts of other threads proposing the same idea and then getting shot down? This is a real time strategy game we’re talking about. Not a first person shooter, or even a third person shooter. The Arbiter was a leader and of course got a special ability.
No. This takes the Real-Time Strategy out of RTS.
Control all of your troops, not just one.
Why it worked well with the Covenant leaders is because it was ONE and only ONE predetermined unit that was controlled with a slightly more zoomed in presence and limited time for that special control. It did not change the balance of individual units. The time-resource nature of leader control forced the Covenant players to still closely and effectively control their armies.
You can’t just do this willy-nilly with Marine squads, Spartans, etc because it then throws off the balance of the unit proficiencies and counters.
Nah just stick with the idea of strategy

Now that I think about it… it kinda does take away the purpose of a stradedy game… sorry
