Your teammates in campaign are passive (often in spite of a targeted enemy), which is a double pronged complaint since it means that not only do they not provide any help on the offense, but they also fail to aggro the enemy. And that’s when they’re even working more or less properly; I had multiple situations of awful pathfinding resulting in teammates running into walls, or failing to make jumps and falling to their deaths, and one particularly hilarious occurred when I backtracked to see if I missed anything on level 5; Buck decided that he’d take the most efficient way to join me and jumped to his death. To give him credit where it’s due, his corpse sure landed near me.
So at least the AI can be funny bad on occasion. See this and spoiler this for two situations which I managed to replicate enough to hook up my capture card. But for the most part, it’s just craptacular. That’s not the worst thing in the world; worthless AI is just par for the course in Halo. But for all the time 343 spent telling us that they raised the bar in terms of AI, I feel it’s fair to be unsatisfied with the result.
actually when you are playing solo you can’t depend on them… they are there for story reasons (so coop makes more sense)… you just are lucky that they can revive you… in other halos when you die you die and no one else kills for you
try to play as if they are not there
Why’d you need a capture card.
double tap the big x, the press the little one.
Boom 30 second clip.
Also, you have to order them around, they like it. Target that, go there. Not just “Help i need a rez”. Also x. see above.

I wasn’t aware of that. Neat.
As you can see by those two clips I uploaded though, orders are worth little. I frequently had occasions where an enemy/boss which I had highlighted went entirely untouched by my squadmates who had decided to start a sewing circle in the corner.
The AI is hit an miss, but it is far and away the best AI in a Halo game yet IMO. I had more success with the AI than I had fails. My only serious issues is where they weren’t smart enough to get to me up on a rock to revive me. But they have been great at taking down big enemies when I tell them to target someone. Hell, somehow my team took care of Warden while I was being revived during the first encounter with him. Though I think he fell off the map but I am not sure lol. They have been great for me in battles vs Hunters.
I found that when I told them to focus on a particular enemy, they actually did. I did sometimes have issues with them coming to revive me though.
