The ability to issue commands on the fly to individual squad mates with the new squad control interface.

that's almost enough to make me consider getting the PC version.

i love the game, and am really looking forwards to the DLC, but i was really hoping for a better squad mechanic. especially since the preview trailers (which were included on the pre-order disc) showed more control over your team-mates.

or at least enough to ensure they don't run in front of a firing weapon...

any news on if the PC version will include the "Bring Down the Sky" episode?

Quick-save in PC games annoy me. It's a cheats way out. I thought the lack of a quicksave on the console verison was great and made the game more of a challenge.
