Is There going to be a Commander Mode ?
i hope so. but i dont know. players didnt like it in bf4 or bfh. and many players say “remove it” because they didnt like it instead of putting a minute of thought into fixing the problems there are. i honestly think the commander would work well with the artillery they have been showing. and if the commander was a playable soldier on the battle field and couldnt use things in the red zone it would be very balanced..
Its not battlefield with no commander.
I agree that it should have a commander, a playable soldier, who can VOIP with squad leaders, to let them know what is happening around them. Able to deploy artillery strikes, mustard gas bombardments, aircraft bombing runs.
Manual defenses deployed around the main base, including AA guns, mortars and Heavy machine guns.
WWI was one of the bloodiest wars, lets make the game like that too.
BF4 is more like an arcade game, and its boring. lets make BF1 better and more fun for everyone.
At this point Lars has said “No Commander”. But he has also said they are working on something.
There will be no Commander in BF1: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-06-13-battlefield-1-preview
WW1 was known for what happened on the frontlines, but it was also known for what happened away from them. With that in mind, will the Commander mode from old Battlefields appear?
Commander won’t appear, but we’ve been working with that template as a whole. We’ve been listening to what people loved about Commander and so on, and we’ve been pushing to work on the template. One thing we’ve spoken about is the social side and getting a squad together, teaming up and going on different servers and jumping between them. We’ll talk more about the template as we move forward.
I disagree that WW1 was known only for what happened on the front, it was also known for being the first war to use wired and radio communications, aerial bombing, gas bombardments, artillery bombardments and AA defenses.
From what I saw on the live play vid, so far it looks like an arcade game, units running around aimlessly shooting away, no strategy, no realism.
I liked the idea of BF1, but from what I have seen and read, no single player with AI bots, no Commander,
I will most likely not buy it or just wait until its on sale for $10.00 in 12 months time.
Battlefield isn’t a hardcore strategy game or a realistic one (it’s an authentic one which as far as I see has been nailed down). Just because the series go back in time it doesn’t have to be realsitic. I suggest Verdu. If you want that type of game.
There will be a single player BTW don’t know where you got that from.
Sounds like nonsense, no offense intended
What harm can it do if you add the Commander position. All he can do is help the team be more effective. He can drop supplies to advancing squads. He can point squads to right location to prevent an enemy advance. He can call in an Artillery strike on areas that are dangerously populated by enemies. What have you got against the commander?
VERY GOOD idea about red zone (and to be also player/commander also)
