    I did it on a 16 player server that had a 32 player Karkand map on. I got over 200 points after the bonus. I was using artillery but only when there were no team mates for ages and i only managed to get 2 tks. Make sure you keep using UAV because if people on your team kill the enemy in the UAV zone you get a point

      The fact that you played in a server running a 64 player map with only 17 players doesn't hold much water as any commander, wheter good or bad, can get over 50 points in the same conditions as long as he doesn't get TKs. 17 players in the 64 player map cannot hold nor capture the majority of flags to start making their opponent's tickets to bleed so they have to kill each other until one of them gets to 0 which results in a very long match where everyone has a very high score at the end of the round.

      The problem with getting a lot of commander points is time, fair matches ends quickly before the player can rack up a lot of commander points. Playing in that condition you were in negates this problem so basically your tip should be:

      Play in a server with a lot of tickets with only a few players in it.

      Try to give your tutorial once you actually get 50 commander points when your in a 64 player map with over 50 players which makes the match a lot shorter, not 17 players which, again, lasts the match a lifetime which lets everyone in the server rack up a lot of points.

        wtf are you talking about? you get COMMANDER POINTS everytime you give orders and they are carried out (just the squads saying 'roger that' doesn't mean orders are carried out and doesn't give you points), when your team uses supply drops, when you accept requests for art/UAV/supplies, etc. COMMANDER POINTS can be seen in the commander screen. at the end of the match, your team's average is added to the commander points to give you your total score. as mentioned before, ARTILLERY KILLS DO NOT GIVE YOU COMMANDER POINTS, IF YOU KILL TEAMMATES, POINTS ARE DEDUCTED FROM YOUR COMMANDER SCORE.

              and another thing, you say keep giving orders but when im commander and say "Attack this position" some gay Squad Leader just keep anwsering "Negative" or "No sir".

              [EDIT] **** <-- nice, I never knew on this forum they hide words like pi*s

              You were pretty lucky to have good squads and no smacktards like #2 said

                I always use artillery as a commander, not to gain kills, but to scatter the enemy so my troops have a easier time picking them off to take control of a base. There is power in numbers, remember that

                  For the love of god, please don't encourage this, it is such a nuisance, I will be sure to mutiny you if you blather on and on about every damn target on the map.

                  You see this game is best played when you can hear the enemies around you, when a commander is droning on and on about every little blip he see's it is very irritating.

                  Your efforts to get more points irritate people, talking about any part of the anatomy will not help either.

                    What would you do?

                    The enemy moderately to greatly outnumber the allies at a capture point? You put UAV and spotted enemies. Do you still artillery the capture point? I tell my team that im going to arty and they should see it on the map but some people still get mad about it if i kill them. Seems like a no win situation.

                      Don't spot ANYTHING, your entire team will get ****ed off at you constantly saying the annoying enemy spotted stuff over and over and start a mutiny.

                        Okay, you guys missed the point of this thread:

                        GETTING YOUR AWARDS

                        This isn't a guide on how to be a good commander, it's a guide on how to GET YOUR AWARDS. So lay off and go crap on someone else's thread.

                          there are allot of ways to get the badges... my way was to sit back and just watch squads on karkard and give them orders for what they were doing anyhow...

                          very easy for squads to accept an attack order for a flag they are attacking

                            Method #5,120

                            1. Join Pistols and Knives Only server.
                            2. Become Commander
                            3. Walk away and get some food.

                            Everyone's too busy to expect the commander to do anything. If you happen to be sitting around, just grab a book and occasionally UAV the area where everyone is. (Big mass of blue dots would be a decent hint).

                            The scores are usually in the 110-130 range, thus giving you plenty of points when the average comes around.

                            Make sure you join a Pistols and Knives server that's playing on a 32 player map, or preferably 64. Not only are there many, many, many kills, EVERYONE is a medic. Thus, almost 0 points are lost. Games can go on for almost an hour, not to mention the insane teamwork score everyone has.

                              the only problem with this is 99.99% of the time, the commander on those type of servers is the ADMIN so he can monitor rule breakers.

                                Someone else mention it above, but I'll say it again for emphasis: The ONLY way you get points as commander is through other non-commander players getting points.

                                Some people analysed the server code on another forum somewhere, and as far as we could assertain, the formula goes like this:

                                If you are commander and someone scores points by capping a flag or killing someone or whatever, this action takes place:

                                New commander score = Old Commander score + (amount of points scored / amount of teammates alive at the time)

                                So if you were commander, and only two people were alive on your team when a teammember neutralises a flag (2 points), your commander score is upped by (2 points / 2 teammates alive) = 1 point.

                                So, bringing my post more directly on-topic, the best way to get points as commander is to make sure all your teammates get high scores in that round. The best way to do this is to player on a high ticket server (One running a 64 man map), but which has not many players on it. That way the average score will be higher, and hence so will your commander score, allowing you to get all those pretty badges and ribbons :)
