: The problem is that Halo 5 also dramatically increased your movement options,
: and the AI can't keep up. The problem with getting too aggressive on
: Legendary and using all the Spartan abilities was that if getting to your
: downed form required a sprint jump or a clamber, the chance the AI would
: be able to suss it out dropped dramatically.

: Aside from that, they're generally more competent than marines (although it
: doesn't feel that dramatic because we rarely fight next to NPCs) and the
: ability to direct them via the d-pad works quite well, especially at
: giving them targets, so no "Marine shoot at *that* tank, not the
: ghost, the tank, the—*BOOM*" moments, or at least they were
: drastically reduced for me.

The only gripe is that they have suicidal tendencies whenever you go down, so instead of shooting the grunt and having another one pick me up, they all ignore you except for one that bum rushes you and usually gets destroyed trying to get you up.
