Why no assault command, and a few other gripes.

Prior to release I had read in a few articles that lying prone would be incorperated into the series.
Where did that one go?
Also, a melee option and an assault command are nowhere to be found.
I was a huge fan of the assault command and in 'Earned in Blood' in general, assault was a must have for the L shaped ambush.

meanwhile, I'm really enjoying Hell's Highway.
Just a few small things that problemed an otherwise amazing game.

I'm not mentioning the lack of split screen, though that one hurt.

yup, agree with all of those. I keep getting shot despite being crouched and behind cover-going prone would make it a lot less frustrating.

A simple melee button wouldn't have been too big an ask, would it?

But my biggest gripe is the lack of an assault command-I mean seriously, what is the point of your assault squad now? They have no advantage over the fire squad or MG squads. I don't know why they removed it from the game.

There's no need to go prone at all 'cause you can use cover almost everywhere. When in cover you can hardly be shot. Sure, it would be nice to have the prone stance in BiA:HH but honestly I don't miss it all. I did miss in the first two games though.
