Sounds great, pick up the info little by little through forums?
One thing that I disliked about v1 was that they replaced almost all marine allies with the spartan bipeds which seemed to fire massive amounts of grenades. I liked the fact that my allies were no longer completely useless, but I missed the 'personality' of the marine allies (dialogue and different AI actions).
In one of the screens (Silent cartographer) I see marines are back, do you think we can expect AI improvements for them, such as improving their firing rate with the AR (3 bullet bursts just never did cut it)?
