Full AI Control

[Soldierdude727]

Essentially similar to Black Ops 2's Side missions in the campaign whereas you can either command your troops from above or 'posses' one of those troops so that you're in complete control over them.

How this would work is that whenever you select a unit, where the section is shown for them to use one of their special abilities like grenades and such, there's an option for you to take control of that unit. There is a downside to this however, as once you control a unit, your air coverage is gone and you cannot use buildings while still in control of the unit. Also of course, there would be an option that would allow you to stop controlling that character, like you need to press a certain key or something.

Once you control the AI, your screen should still have the mini-map, as well as the default HL2 hud, like health and ammo meters (Even though ammo is unlimited), as well as the weapon switch system which would contain only weapons that AI is supposed to have. Like a Rebel armed with a shotgun would only have that shotgun and a grenade if it's been unlocked.

This could help increase strategic moves made by other players, to try to counter the Freeman-like AI. Could also enhance the Game's gameplay and make it much more fun and exciting, sort of turning it more into Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, which is fast-paced, chaotic and fun.

Merely my idea for the game.

While it does, I feel the game could be enhanced a lot better if it was available in all modes.

I agree, but only with cerain units, or rather, the Lambda wars team could implament Half-life heroes, such as barney, alyx, breen, mosman etc... (Or anything not normal really as for the combine ain't got much options) as the only usable npc's you can take controle off. Just like Rise & Fall: civilizations at war, did.
