Hi, I just tried out the commander mode, which is a pretty nice feature they’ve added. Also you get quite a lot of points if your worthless at actually shooting anything 😃

What bugs me out, is that there arent armor, infantry, sniper, heli platoons, but only groups of people playing random roles.

How do you guys play commander mode and do a good job on the average server?

I’m glad they brought it back but unfortunately most people don’t play battlefield like they use to. So it’s had to get squads to do anything if you’re a commander, even just being a squad leader can be tough. People need to realize it’s about objectives not kills or just getting your score up.

I just send the same order to all squads and hope one takes the hint, then when you find one that is listening or playing the objective let them have all the squad upgrades etc.

Yeah, I guess you have to join a clan to get that kind of play

I had a chopper team who did what I said - that can make a huge difference because you truly see the whole picture and see where a chopper would get easier kills.

I tried dividing all teams into groups, then sending them to attack where it makes sense. Flanking + radar scan FTW 🙂

But yes, it’s hard to find people who actually listen

I recently started playing commander mode and it’s pretty fun! However I would love some tips from y’all because I don’t want to be a bad commander and want to rack up some points.
