Have you guys noticed how their will even be squad ordering in this game... Man this babies got everything!
if im wrong please correct me but, dont you only have a parter? maybe you can get ally squads to order, but i dont see much sense in ordering around 1 person

Well, I really hope they dont end up like the AI in Oblivion when they try to attack.
But knowing Epic THAT will not happen... ever...

Yeah. Too bad we didn't get to see it in action at E3 but maybe they're still hammering out a lot of the controls/mechanics. Hopefully it works flawlessly. Ghost Recon(360) had some issues with your sqad executing a command. That tended to take away from the experience a tad.
ahhhh now that you mention graw, i hope the aiming system isnt like graw, there was no sensitivity and it just didnt feel right..

In the beginning its only Marcus and Dom, then you get two other guys. EPIC has said that the AI is so smart that you don't even have to use the tactics. There is a video that explains it. They will not just sit there to die (ghost recon) they will get cover, spray, kill, and even force enemies in your direction without any orders! The have the most innovative AI in any shooter or game in genrel (Oblivions was WAY over hyped)

Mike capps said "We're Epic -- it'll be done when it's fun, and not a moment before.
Basically, we're at the point where the gameplay is fun for both single and multi player. Now it's a matter of finishing out all the different maps, and polishing it until it shines."
So I assume that they already address the issue. And I full confidence in them.

ive been playing halo 2 lately and i went back to graw and attempted to beat it on hard, and my teammates were sooo dumb in the first mission that i put it down. i kept dying trying to revive my teammates until i just told them to hold position and i took out groups

In GRAW i rarely used my squad (IN A SQUAD BASED GAME!!!!) The multiplayer was good (THOUGH YOU COULDN"T GET COVER) never mind this game was just average.

i hope gears doesnt get messed up with like two whole teams taking cover and nothing happening, there will always be a cheap kid who camps behind a pillar the whole game until someone comes and BAM their dead

I was afraid of that too, until i learned that epic designed the levels so that you fell uncomfortable behind the same cover for to long. Badass!
if the cover gradually deteriorates when you shoot it then thats a good sign

Very good point, thats still one of my standing questions... EPIC please answer this one.:)

yeah, having chunks of a concrete pillar fly off when you blast it with your assault rifle and seeing the enemy's arm poking out and finally getting to kill him would be such a good feeling

Have you guys seen the old trailer that shows Marcus doing a HOLT! sign and the teammates behind him stopped walking i think thats what one of the commands is. But if they see an enemy they arent just gonna stand there. There gonna say screw you and get behind some cover! Yeah Baby!

For campers there is the grenade launcher! and if somebody stays in cover too long just throw a normal grenade at their ass. Or just run in and chainsaw :P

Throw a few grenades in his direction the curb stomp him,
GOW will be great!

yea. if coverpoints get destroyed its badass. if you can create some by throwin a grenade at maybe a pillar even better. I would like the enviroment to change.

A game called "Strange Hold" (john woo) is the first game ive ever seen that does this. it looks badass. it uses the Unreal Engine 3 (like every other good next-gen game) and is for Xbox 360 and PS3. In the demo, he go shot behind tile pillers for cover and eventually all that was left was the frame of the pillar leaving him exposed! So atleast we know (never doubted) the unreal engine 3 is definatly capable. it just depends on the level design.
