It would be nice to get additional AI commands and perhaps instead of just an “x” on a spot, show the little dots on the ground where the guys would likely go or you prefer for them to go. Basically a more casual version of full spectrum Warrior.
Another similar idea to get thinking along these lines is the men of war series. When we are approaching a building, instead of click x and some run in, some around, some in front etc, show the little dots where they’ll stack up. Stack the door for entry and watch corners, or if looking inside give where they’ll likely go, for instance put a dot in front of the windows for each soldier. As it stands now, there is very little squad commands. Just a small transparent dot on the ground representing where each soldier will likely go would be a huge advantage. Similar to how when you pull out the engineer hammer. At least then we can start moving towards actual squad commands.
Thoughts?

Yeah! They have a very unique opportunity here to get some players that are into strategy involved. With the current system, it’s fine but I never feel like I can cover for my guys nor do they cover for me. Small changes to additional AND OPTIONAL commands would go a long way for me.
I could see some epic custom Mil sim type games forming up with that inclusion.

But playing arty would be much harder. Players hide but you can bet you hit at least one or two bots, that exit the building for no reason.
Would love some sort of group command to see where they are. Currently we can do this with ‘personal’ commands specific to each trooper, but its very slow and clunky

The only thing I need or want from the AI soldiers is that you find a way for them to identify what “cover” is, get behind it, and stay there. Insert F word anywhere you like in that sentence, its infuriating the way they hop around everywhere.
Also remove the 60m order limit on them. The AI are quickly causing me to want to stop playing, I cant belive they made an AI based game with AI that is so atrocious. All you had to do was make NPC units that follow a player and/or get behind something and sit still. Make it where they cant even shoot I dont give a damn, I can take care of that part. Id prefer to play with more than 1 or 2 men in every squad I spawn.
