Greatest idea ever

Battlefield 1 General Discussion
1

So me and my brother were just talking about Battlefield 4 and how we didn’t like the way the commander system was set up in the game. we were talking about how it should setup in Battlefield 1 and came up with a really good idea for how the commander should work in Battlefield. basically I said that DICE has two options with this, they should either take Commander completely out of the game, or find a way to make it so every match will always have two commanders.

We then wondered if they went with the second option how would they get enough people to play Commander all the time to have two commanders and we came up with a perfect idea for this

So here’s the idea, in a 64 person match with the teams 32 vs 32. we think that what they should do instead is do 33 vs 33 and then at the beginning of the loading screen show everybody’s name on each team and show a system where it will randomly select a player to be Commander if a player is randomly selected to be Commander they can choose a pass option but they will have a limited number of passes. how would they get more passes? random items in Battlepacks.

there could be multiple changes to this, for example if a player wanted to be commander they could just volunteer themselves instead so nobody would be randomly picked or if one player has been randomly getting picked many times in recent games they could be taken out of this selection completely or the game could look at how many times all the players have been picked in their recent matches and try to pick players that haven’t played Commander as much.

I feel like this idea would only work with large-scale battles because with less people you would be picked a lot more often and most people wouldn’t want to play Commander that much

Let me know what you guys think. Maybe help modify our idea a little bit to make it better

Hi bros,

im not so sure, but i have heard that commander is not there… :frowning: also im half disappointed for it.

But for sure BF4 commander was not so good like a playable commander in BF2. But i think is too late to complain about it.

#RIP Commander

Its not the greatest idea ever lol.But its a good idea

You know what is a better idea.Having no commander at all because uav is cancer

Who said the battlefield one Commander would have uavs? they could totally change the commander to make it more fun too

Bf2 commander was perfect apart from the “enemy spotted”
Audio spam. Ffs dice just do that. Give him arty, supplies and the ability to do a “scan”
Via an observation flight mechanic .

No uav

The reason one team has a commander and the other doesn’t is the fact that when a commander joins in bf4 a player must leave the game to counter him…if it was a playable ‘kit’ you could swap to in game you’d find more people going commander to even it.

Give commander
-supply drops
-arty(have a bar that you can choose between 3 lots 3 rounds to be placed individually or barrage which consumes the whole bar in one strike.
-reinforcements(quick respawn)
-a better view of the battlefield since theres no uav and instead have markers you have to manually place to indicate enemy troops(doesn’t spot them)

Now its sort of a more realistic commander for ww1 setting and he has more to do since the larger features like uav and artillery strike can be used on a smaller/less effective scale but more often.

Yep, it should’ve been something a player on a server can switch into and out of easily.
