Squads, eh?

Page 35 of the PC Zone preview, in the bottom right hand corner, next to the HUD's ammo counter there's a small, yellow stick-man with his hands on his hips and the words: "Squad: Following"
I wasn't aware of any announcement of squad action? Not in the way that this would suggest, certainly... Very interesting :naughty:

Yeah, I saw that too. Some magazines are giving different information, but in zone it says you can actually command them to do things as well, like defend places, attack people etc. They'll also go against your orders if they think they're too radical. Quite nice.

I thought there were not going to be squad commands at all in HL2...hmmm

Hmm, I clearly haven't read that far yet. That sounds like a lot of fun - I wonder how it'd work?
