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.

STFU N00B!!

EA might well have pleased the players of spec ops kits by giving them points for destroying arty etc, but I don't think it will be good for the game.
...

I play spec-ops and commander several times in the demo (waiting for the full game to arrive). When playing USMC I teamed with another spec-ops and a support guy for C4 resupply and we destroyed MEC artillery and UAV several times, it worked very well even if we didn't get points for doing that. When I'm commander (MEC team) I go engineer and repair my assets (constantly attacked by the enemy) several times during the game. I hide near artillery in the MEC base and I sometimes kill some enemy spec-ops with shotgun and artillery. I also warn other teammates of the presence of enemy spec-ops in the base and they usually come for help (not for repairs, though!). In conclusion, it looks like commander's assets are already a target for spec-ops, so I don't think the patch will mean the end of the commander class. Ideally there should be a squad defending your assets, but that's just wishful thinking.
