[EA] Battlefield 3 Officially Announced + Preorder

[Eastcoasthandle]

Commander was not used that much in public games.
It also added complexity and a lot of people couldnt play good commander and players didnt listen.

Moving it out, to the field, it becomes more dynamic.
if your group say 6 people, can hold a uav, and set it to scan an area, you get a tactical advantage but your able to do it in your squad, not waiting for a commander to do it for you.

More fun.
DICE lacks the knowledge how to educate people playing their games, sure a OP chopper with a good pilot owns totally, sure you can say well you can counter it, but how many do that?
I and my team can focus on taking out choppers and planes, sure, but how many times you get a good squad like that in game?
to many noobs

Dice lacks that big time and needs to hire me.

No, commander was used frequently and many servers employed rules to have the commander to be non combative because of it. So we won't agree there as many liked to multitask the role. But that does not mean that commander wasn't used. As for complexity? That's a complete joke and you know it. The only way that commander was complex is if you never used it. Lets see what you did as commander:
-look at birdseye view of the battlefield
-give orders
-spot enemies in the flanks/scan when needed
-give supply drops and later on vehicles
-artillery (which was disabled in some servers)
-provide uav
-provide assistance when asked by squad leaders
See the trend? LOL, yeah that was complex. Perhaps the number of things you could do as commander was some how "complex" .


As for what is actually planned for squads I will wait and see what is revealed because I'm a particular for details. But if it's anything like BC2 (which I believe it will be) it will be a complete mess with 64 players.
