Players can issue revival commands to AI teammates or be resurrected by them.Microsoft's upcoming sci-fi shooter Halo 5: Guardians will include a new feature never before seen in the franchise but commonplace in one of the company's other blockbuster series. Game Informer's July cover story on Halo 5 reveals that, in the game's co-op mode, players will be able to revive their fallen squadmates. This mechanic has been a staple of Gears of War since the first game. It's typically seen as a means to encourage players to work together instead of taking a lone wolf approach.In Halo 5, you'll always have three companions. They are controlled either by other human players (online only, as there is no local split-screen) or by the computer. If you're playing alone and a teammate goes down, you can command a squadmate to save them; AI-controlled team members are also capable of reviving you.Presumably, revives will only work if completed in a certain amount of time.In previous Halo co-op campaigns, a fallen friend could only spawn back in when the area became "safe." Fans will no doubt recall how frustrating this could be in some situations, and the new revival system sounds like a nice solution.Halo 5's online co-op mode requires Xbox Live Gold, despite an earlier report that said it wouldn't.Game Informer's Halo 5 story also reveals that Cortana, an artificial intelligence who essentially "died" in the events of Halo 4, will play some role in Halo 5. She's depicted in the game, at least in the scene that Game Informer saw, as a silhouette on a rock. Microsoft previously teased that she would appear in some manner.Separately, The Guardian has some additional Halo 5 details, including the fact that The Arbiter and Promethean enemies will return.We're expecting a lot more Halo 5 news next week at E3, including the first details about an "epic" multiplayer mode that incorporates all aspects of the Halo sandbox for the first time. But for now, check out some recent Halo 5 stories below.
I don't really mind, reviving has become so common it's now part of what is normal. And this should help to reduce sibling arguments by a bit...

There are too many moments when your life is put into the hands of a braindead marine.

When I fail to kill it with the second shot I reload the checkpoint and when I fired at it sometimes the AI runs in front of me.

Or when one of them gets in a warthog and attempts to drive it within 10m of you-with dire consequences
As if Legendary needed to be easier

Those fuckers follow you around like flies on shit when they're in those things.
As far as reviving goes, it does make sense canonically I guess. I've heard that it's a green ray that comes out of the players wrist or something...I would have preferred being injected with Bio-foam personally.

Your posts really hurt to read
In Halo 5, you'll always have three companions

For Republic Commando having three companions was great due to the squad based system. Halo 5 may not have a system like that but having a helping hand isn't a bad thing.

I think it should be an option that you can turn on/off same with squad team mates.
Halo 5 Co-Op lets you revive fallen teammates like Gears of War.
