Dimwit Morris kept running out and getting himself killed with his charges 
or blocking my retreat when I was trying to find cover.

One feature I liked with the squad AI in HL2 was that I could point 
somewhere and say "go there!" and they'd go park it for a little while 
while I took care of the baddies. But there's no way to give directions in 
Q4.

I'm not sure if I've seen this. I'm in a boss level following two silver 
spiders and a Strog Krusty the Clown and don't know if anything comes after 
that or if that's the final level.
