2x bonus for the win.

[tehbarra]

I always wondered but never bothered to check my points to see; does the commander of the winning team receive this bonus, or the entire team?

Thanks.

Maybe EA was thinking that will be motivation for the commander to do his job so his team can win and he can get his 2x.

That's totally absurd! We all know that the commander gets more points by fighting, dying often and not paying attention to his duties! :laugh::laugh:

At least that's what many seem to do.....

Re: 2x bonus for the win.

I just hate that 2x bouns scores, commander just drop UAV, scan and from time to time drop supplies-nothing hard- every1 can do it. You as a soldier have to kill enemys, stress all about being the best(In my case, i'm playing for fun, with lil bit for scores) And the final scores is that this lazy commander have 1/2 or at least 3rd place
PS. And yea I know that when more ppl get highest scores, commander have better chances to be leader in scores at the end

So if it's so easy, why don't you play commander then?

Because he's here to play a first person shooter, not a commander screen. Being a commander is VERY easy compared to the skill you need on the ground, I picked up commander position my first try, and haven't learned anything more since then besides that you can zoom in. Though i've been playing FPS games for a while now, and still get my *** handed to me on the ground half the time.

Re: 2x bonus for the win.

Just remember:
The commander job is also (besides being that "easy") the job with least action.
The commander is most of the times frustrated because artillery doesn't kill tanks anymore, unless you get a direct hit.
The commander spots enemies that are ignored by all the players out there, as are most of the orders he gives.
The commander is the one who gets blamed for the loss, but rarely awarded for the win!
The Commander job is everything except fun.
Why do you see so many fighting commanders? Because most of the players give a sht on his orders etc.
If it wasn't for the 2xpoints, nobody would be commander.
So please, grant the commadner the only thing he gets for doing his job.

I say this, because I'll get flamed if I don't say it:
There are commadners that don't do their job and just site there doing nothing but collecting the 2xpoints. These are not worthy!

Yea on the other side you have right, without commander the game will be much harder, the flags will be taken very fast, flanking will be very easy etc. but could you imagine battlefield withous uav, supplies and at least vehicle drop? I can't:hmm:

Correct.
That's the point.
A good commander together with 1-2 good working squads will win any round.
And a round without commander is hard to win.

But it takes a dedicated commander and squads that listen and follow orders.
Implying that the commander is good enough to give good orders.
I figured that voip is very useful explaining what the sense of the given order actually is.
Specially if you use the "move here" order. If there is an order that gets ignored, then it's "move here".
Well, "repair here" and "blow this up" is following right behind :laugh:

I'm actually very tempted to order "split squad" :laugh:

What makes you think that all that commander sees is the commander's screen? Commander is everything that regullar player does and then some. Numerous times I've been capping and defending flags while commander when my team was busy or they refused to follow orders. If some people can't handle doing both doesn't mean that nobody can. If you ask me, commaders should get 2x points every time, for the double effort, regardless of wining or losing.
