In Their Own Story
In the Xbox 360 version, when a mission provides the player with a squad, orders given via the Cross-Com system apply to the entire squad, and not to individual squad members. The system highlights enemies spotted by both the player and both their squad and other allies. In the Microsoft Windows version, the Cross-Com system is more flexible, capable of issuing more controlled commands to individual squad members, as well as plotting out attack routes and battle plans for other friendly units. However, it only highlights enemies seen by the player's squad and not themselves. The system can be used to command helicopters and UAV drones to locate enemies or deal with a particular threat encountered.
