This is a really interesting idea for a game type. I think you'll find that many of the people who have posted in the "Attempt at Construction" thread share your sentiments and some even share your ideas (great minds think alike and all that).
I think this level of tactical combat would be a massive undertaking for Bungie, but every game would create interesting, memorable experiences for the player. I hope that these are the kinds of threads that Bungie is looking at

So I did think that this would be a massive undertaking for Bungie, I was thinking if we took baby steps, they could let up play as one of the evil factions as a first step. Imagine going through one of your mission or strikes knowing that every enemy was not AI controlled but rather human controlled. I think that in its self could produce some interesting game play alone.
