Squad AI are still inept

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

When I first heard about squad commands for Halo 5 I was expecting some awesome tactical gameplay like from Ghost Recon or Republic Commando. When I got the game, I was extremely disappointed by how inept and useless they were. I recently decided to replay the campaign after I heard about some re-balancing to the campaign I decided to give it a try once more to see if the squad ai was a little more intelligent.

Nope. The squad AI was still a bunch of morons. They still stare at me and/or walk casually towards me when I am down. And When I ordered them to attack the kraken’s core in the mission Enemy Lines, they exhibited stupidity to hilarious levels: Buck got stuck on the staircase and ended up doing the running man for a short time; then he and tanaka proceeded to a catwalk and fired at the core. Except none of their bullets even hit the core. They ended up shooting at the edge of the catwalk. Then out of nowhere comes Vale with a spartan charge and knocks herself and buck off of the catwalk.

In Halo 6, can I have a couple of kamikaze grunts on my squad instead of my current companions? or maybe a drunk squirrel?

As it is now, you’re better off either playing with friends or thinking of your squadmates as mobile decoys.

I second this notion of a squad of drunk squirrels

That is what I ended up doing.
me: “Attack this enemy” (Hides behind a rock and waits for them to die)

They were only useful for being shielded meatshields, just like they were in Reach. Jorge was the only useful one with his MG.

To be fair they never said anything about squad ai apart from the fact that if there are more than two players down the ai will tend to the first caller. Or am i mistaken, no miracles today my friend.
