There's no good way to know which squad leader is talking to you over VOIP. I always remind Squad Leaders to preface any requests they make with their squad number. If they forget, I'll just ask them which squad made last request for "X".

Re: Guide to the Commander Mode (Basic)

Not sure if the question is posted, but how can I (as commander) say automated comments. I've seen commanders enter "you are the finest squad", etc but I don't know how to do this. Please, if there is a site or guide on how to do this, please post.

Pretty much, info on how to get extra command comments. Thanks.

Re: Guide to the Commander Mode (Basic)

Right click on the squad, and you get a whole bunch of options to tell them. So, the list of squads on the left, select the one(s) you want to "message" and right click. Select your message. Some are useful, some are not.

Thanks for the tip. Now I can say someone more than just "negative" and "affirmative".

Re: Guide to the Commander Mode (Basic)

Hey there,

I was a commander yesterday for the first time and I really enjoyed it ! So today, at work, I'm trying to gather informations and tips on how to be a good commander. This thread is the best I found and I congratulate the one who wrote the guide.

BTW I was being curious about the way command points and commander's final points are calculated.
Several people asked that question and the answer was different everytime. Some say that arty kills count in it, some others say only caps and defends do, and others say that it's only calculated on the average team score (addition of each player's total score or of each player's team points ?) at the end of the round ...
Does anyone have the holy truth about it ? Maybe it's been answered in this thread, I know it's been asked several times but the answer was always different. Plz don't answer "I think it's calculated in this or that way ..." I'd like to see the answer with an official link to it or screenshots that proves it.


Sorry if it's been answered recently, I was too lenient to read the entire thread.

Hoping the truth will come out, regards.

Re: Guide to the Commander Mode (Basic)

In one round. Wouldn't be a challenge if it was 40 command points in total right?
