No, you're right. I re-started 'mission 1/pathfinder' several times, and you do drop down and several other troops drop with you. Then you have to assemble/activate a radio beacon and then dozens more drop in.
Most get killed immediately. Hey, they run right into the bloody Huns! Don't wait for me! Just take off and get shot! Charge that MG42 while I'm trying to find the freaking Sergeant! Oh, OK - he's hanging in a tree! Well, that explains why finding his leg pack completed my mission...
That is one of my complaints about
all 'assisted mission' PC games. The 'squad mates' keep running on while you're trying to reload, or go over the mission objective, or figure out WTF you are...And you end up with nobody to help you.
Half-Life had better AI. You could lead/push them into battle.
But all of them manage to get in my way while I'm firing. In Half-Life & its sequels, you can kill them (easiest way to get ammo). In CoD, you get scolded.
I'm about 5 or 6 levels in. Just took a breath-taking ride in a liberated French auto through German positions. Whee-hoo!
