New patch may kill commander position

[Sir. SashDaMan]

Idea for EA...

What EA should do, if the Engineer kit is selected and the artillery or other commander aids are damged they should get a spawn option next to them.
Also instead of doing 2 or 5 points whatever the reward is for blowing it up) they should lower it to one so less people are likely to attack it.

I hope EA Read this and put it into action. :)

That idea is worse then allow Commanders to drop supply crates on stuff tofix it.... then directly after you blwo **** up you have an army of engy's repairing them.. yeah right

I have no problem defending the assets either. I don't mind as long as my team wins. My question is, I've tried the commander out several times and I'm still unsure how points are tracked. I spent whole time scanning, deploying UAVs, resupplying and dropping arty as soon as they were available. I made sure not to drop arty around my team, although there were a few smacktards who went into the area even with the big red warning sign on their radar. Aside from maybe 2 or 3 teamkills from arty, I believe I was doing everything right. Is there a trick to it or something? My team score at the end was negative even tho I know I didn't kill that many teammates. What was I doing wrong?

I´ll try getting the commander ribbon before the oatch comes out.

Any suggestions?? maps?' servers?? number of players??

[WeeeOooO]

please dont say thats what there gonna do.. that will ultimately ruin the game.
"I NEED A MEDIC" *runs over to him*
"sry i ran out, go over there and die."

Sorry, I have to say something to this.

What the hell? You think this game is MADE by having medics and support characters? Dude, you are f-ing retarded. There have been hundreds and thousands of tactical FPS games where medics don't insta-return players to life, and you know what? Wow, thousands of people played those. This game won't suffer in the least if people actually have to play instead of being point whores. Thankyou for your time.

if you're so ****in efficient, show some stats as proof, you stupid dumbass punk.

First of all, how am I a dumbass for posting what *should* be common sense? Second, I don't play commander , not my style, so my stats won't accuratly relfect what I could do as commander. And third, if my commander stats were shitty, that does not automatically mean that I am wrong, it just means that I am not fit to play commander. Stop posting with hate and start posting with common sense.

It's only fair if they give Spec Ops points for it.. he has to skip other combats to get there, and he has to use 2 of his 5 C4 to take one thing out.

Will it be down more ? I don't think so, but I could care less really. I wish they would take artillery out of the game anyway. I can't count the number of times anymore where I got instantly killed by artillery a second after I spawned, or while I was taking back an enemy flag.

And this means both commanders.. the enemy commander who decides that little old me is absolutely enough to warant an artillery strike (nobody else around), or the own commander who sees two friendly targets and two enemy targets and decides it is worth to kill his own team for a few lousy points.

Face it, artillery is extremely cheap, cowardly, causes tons of teamkills and it attracts the wrong people to the commander class instead of leaving it to the guys who help their teams with strategic scans and commands.

you talk about common sense when your initial post itself showed a lack of it. i play as commander with the engineer kit and am talking from my experience. so i think you should stop posting because as you've mentioned in your post, you have no idea what the hell you're talking about.

I love how people assume that because you will get points for destroying the commander's assets that they will some how automatically be destroyed all of the time. All you have to do as commander is play engineer and fix your own ****, or, better yet, drop a supply box next to your supplies and let that fix them. But thats not my biggest problem with this whole situation.

My biggest problem is that you all keep looking at this **** one-sided. As it is now, engineers get points for fixing the commander's assets, but spec ops don't get points for destroying them. Seems a little jacked to me. Also, if more people were to play spec ops to get points for blowing everything up, it would make sense that more people will play engineer to get points for fixing it. Well, maybe it won't make sense to some of you, since you cannot seem to understand the concept of balance, but thats besides the point.

That was my initial post. Please explain how that post is lacking in common sense. Also, just because I don't play as commander does not mean that I don't know what I am talking about. I have played with some good commanders who are able to accomplish what I have posted previously. Just because you cannot do it does not mean others cannot do it either.

Umm no, it wont kill commander slot
It just means people have to learn TEAM WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
STOP BEING LONE RANGERS, AND PROTECT YOUR COMMANDERS ASSETS
I guarantee if people sit there and guard the arty, the little spec ops guy with his no armor is gonna get pwned ever time he gets within half a mile of the arty!!!

think before you post, people!

[voLcar]

A soulution: Commander camps the arty, and gives order to the squads (He can use scan to see if any enemys are his way)

you never play as a commander and yet you make it look like it's so easy to command and repair your own team's assets. if you had any common sense, you would know that dropping a supply crate next to damaged stuff only gives spec ops guys ammo to destroy it again. now that we all know that you lack common sense, allow me let me explain one more thing. an engineer's shotgun is only for close combat. try approaching your damaged assets to fix them and let me know how close you can get without a spec ops guy who's keeping watch finishing you off. if making claims is all you're good at, good luck to you. i now know for sure, you're a n00b as well as a dumbass.

I have played with some good commanders who are able to accomplish what I have posted previously. Just because you cannot do it does not mean others cannot do it either.

well, did your team win with these so called "good" commanders? even i've seen commanders on my own team think they're rambo and they can command and repair and kill and do everything, but we ultimately ended up losing. i'm pretty sure you're gonna answer "yes", but i've figured out by now that you're only good at making claims, so you can save it.

If you are going to quote me from different posts have the decency to quote everything that is relevent. No **** supply boxes give spec ops more ammo, I have that happen to me all the time. Thats why you, or your team, kills the spec ops. And let me explain one thing: An engineer doesn't just have a shotgun, they also have a pistol and grenades, and, as commander, you have artillary. Also, many maps place your assets near some sort of barrier, which means you can get quite close to spec ops without them seeing you. And yes, when I have a commander who is capable of multi-tasking and knows how to be a commander we almost always win.

About my statement of me not playing commander. Sorry if I wasn't clear but what I meant was I don't play commander now. I have played commander a few times when nobody would step forward, and I have been able to repair my own ****, kill quite a few spec ops, and command at the same time. The reason why I don't play more is because most of the time you are far away from the action and I do not like that. Therefore, I do not play commander, unless it is sorely needed.

Last of all, you keep asking for my credentials, yet you have not shown yours. Before you go making bogus claims about me and how I play, why don't you cough up some proof of yourself.

so now we have yet another claim that you're a kickass "multi-tasking" commander who has even killed spec ops. i'll bet those spec ops guys were n00bs just like yourself. keep posting with some more claims, it seems that's the only thing you're good at.

my stats have been there the whole time in my sig, but i'm guessing you're just too dumb to notice.

And all you can do is talk sh*t to people you don't know, and try to twist people's words to mean other than what was intended.
