        Very retarded, although its a big shame to see many more servers enforcing this rule. Back in 2006 before I quit there were none of these. Last night and the night before about 5% of servers I went on had this dumb rule!!!

          A good commander does both.

            Re: another crap server

            well i've frequented an inf only server that has the rule and i enjoy it alot more because of it.

            1. i don't get my hard earned gold taken away by some guy that sat and had his dinner

            2. it heightens my gameplay and gives me better reflexes and i have to use my own situational awareness

            3. i can easily go all sneaky on maps like warlord or kark to take the back bases (palace, suburb, train)

                i think even including commander mode should be a server-side option.

                but since it is there, i don't think you should restrict it on ranked servers.

                hopefully soon the rankings will go away and they'll just give everyone all unlocks and strip everyone of their badges/ribbons/ranks.

                  Exactly, couldn't have said it better myself. I always disliked the commander position since the game was released.

                    Commander is a pretty cool feature and everything but I will agree that it has some issues but it wouldn't really take much to fix it up. The only thing I really hate about commander is the scan ability it kills allot of the strategy that can take place I think it should either be removed or it should just detect all players on the map not just enemy players scan really just helps bottleneck maps and keeps people from thinking of creative ways to attack positions not to mention reality wise its pretty retarded. I'd also maybe double the refresh time of Arty

                      what sucks is that the folks that made desert combat designed the commander system.

                      for shame!

                        Any commander that can sit and eat his dinner while playing obviously isn't doing well enough a job. Scan's refresh very quick, and pointing out key enemy units outside of UAV can keep you very busy. Also a good game with decent players will yeild the commander request for all of his abilities very often. I agree it should be optional though.

                          Whatever you do don't complain or ask them why. That is a sure way to get a perm ban. Their brains can't handle logical thoughts or conversation.

                            yea too bad 90% of the players out there will chastise anyone who commands and fights simultaneously. I was commanding the other day and rolling around in an LAV racking up kills. Deploying the UAV, Arty, and requests accordingly. Not to mention we won by over 100 pts. Yet 3 or 4 different players started mutinies simply because I wasn't holed up somewhere doing nothing but commanding. Gotta love ignorance.

                              They're ignorant.

                              If you're skilled enough to do it without ignoring your commander duties, they should have absolutely no qualms with what you do.

                              You should be given a medal, I'd love to have people like you as a Commander.

                                I doubt it's a violation of the ROE. I only say this because I've seen the ROE's vagueness twisted to fit just about any admin created rule.

                                As far as an adminstered rule goes, it's not a bad one.

                                All this other crap about UCB's and leaping and hopping, is nearly impossible to enforce. Most of the rules with a few troublemakers can quickly spiral into "he said, she said' situations. There's always the wise *** who attempt to skirt the gray areas of those rules. Snipe into the UCB. Spec Ops then fight and claim they were attacked. The squabbles can be endless and disruptive.

                                At least this rule is easy and fair for both sides. No commanding. Done. It's about the only rule I've seen created that at least can be enforced. That's what makes it a good rule, disagree with it or not, at least it can be enforced fairly and not used for bias.

                                I encourage no commanding in small games. When you've got an 8 on 8 going, and the commander can spot nearly everyone and arty them in the only fire fight your having on the entire map, it's sort of stupid. Then you've got 2 commanders raining terror down on the other players. There's not really enough people to got spec ops and take out assets, you'd be down to nearly nobody actually doing the fighting.
