    Commander: Getting Your Awards!

    I just finished commanding a pretty good game. Got my Commander Badge (40) and the Ribbon (50) in 1 round, so here's how it went!
    *Notes:
    1. You need to acheive the required score before the 2x multiplier
    2. Your score is based on your team's average score
    3. For the whiners: This is not a guide on how to be a good commander. This is a guide on how to GET YOUR AWARDS.

    INFO
    Map: Gulf of Oman (64)
    Players: 17 (8 MEC vs 9 USMC)
    Time Limit: 0
    Starting Tickets: 300:300
    Team: MEC

    Final score: 104 (2x for teh win!)

    GUIDE
    First, it really helps if your team has squads. In a low player game, each squad will probably have 2 or less people in them. Give each squad orders, or you can hold CRTL and select all the squads, and give them all the same orders. As long as they accept and the orders are completed, you will receive points. Everytime an order is completed, give a new one.

    Second, scan and spot everything you can. If your team kills anything that you've spotted, you receive points.

    Third, when your team is approaching an enemy point, give them UAV support and spot everything you can, even if they can see already see it. Same concept, you'll receive points for each spotted enemy killed, and for the flag capture.

    Also, I've read some guides where they say to hold back on Supplies. I didn't want to do this because as the Commander, I'm supposed to keep my team healthy and happy.

    Last, do NOT use Artillery. You receive nothing positive for the use of Artillery, only negative for teamkills.

    LOGIC
    The whole idea is to gather as many points as you can, without screwing your team over. Let the enemy take over control points, so your team and take them back. If enough control points are cycled, then you should end with a good amount of points. However, make sure you support your team as they carry out your orders. Another thing to consider is the game length. The longer the round, the more points you get. This is another reason why you shouldn't use Artillery. For every death that occurs, a ticket is taken away, thus making the game end faster.

    I've never seen a game where the entire team praised the Commander, and *****ed off the one guy who decided to mutiny, until now :cry:

    SUMMARY
    1. Find a quiet 64 player game with no time limit
    2. Choose a map with a lot of Control Points
    3. Give orders give orders give orders
    4. Spot spot spot spot spot spot spot every enemy
    5. Try to encourage control point cycling
    6. Don't hold back on the team. Give them UAV and Supplies to help them capture points
    7. Don't use Artillery. Don't want to risk the TK and end the game faster
    8. Have fun! Talk with your team about tits or whatever you want

    Thanks for reading guys, and have fun!

      Very important^

      However, the only thing I find that gives command points is your teammates getting points and raising their average score. I think you do get points for completing requests but everything else I'm not sure of. If it is true, it doesn't happen 100% of the time because I have seen holes where orders are completed but no point, etc

      Edit: Artillery TKs do not count against your score for awards, I responded to an artil request and got a bunch of TKs from people who spawned on that leader, but when i had 40 points before -TKs I got the comand badge anyway. However, as all artillery does is deplete tickets thus depriving your team of points, why risk it?

        Werd. Forgot to mention that another goal is to keep the game going as long as possible. Artillery = kills = less tickets = game ends faster

        Simply enough

              You played a 64 player map with 17 people?

              No award is worth that kind of boredom.

                the way comander gets points is by the AVERAGE of your team mates scores example. one player has 20 points and another has 10 points your score will be 15. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY COMANDER GETS POINTS.

                  I can't find ANY servers that are good for trying for the ribbon (50 points without 2x bonus). When I do find a low 10-20/64 player server there is hardly anyone in squads and even the ones in squads don't follow orders, it's a pain because I've been trying to get this and my closest score was 49! This one is tough.

                  Anyone know any servers with good teamplay that are good for this ribbon? Threadstarter what server did you get your ribbon on?

                      Sorry dude, I totally forgot which server I was on. I got lucky though to have some clan guys on my team, and some Helicopter whores :p

                      And yes, your score is based on your team's average score. Everything I posted encourages your team to get points, thus giving you points

                          For the ribbon, I found a 32 player server with only 16 peeps that was running large maps. I was on when Karkand was up, I was MEC. At first I didn't do anything, you need the US to take a flag to stop their ticket bleed for a longer game. Once they had a few footholds, then I started UAV/supply dropping everywhere. I gave orders only to attack and not defend. Game lasted about 36 Minutes, final score of 166 with the x2.
