In an earlier post I explained that the "general" could at any time enter
any one of the battles in his/her campaign, thus be able to do both
Command/Control AND the FPS portion of the actual battles. So you not only
target the mainly strategic gamers but possibly expand the current FPS pool
just a bit.
Maybe someday I'll get motivated enough to actually present something formal
to Bungie.
