What do you get points for as Commander?

[nIckEl101]

I'm tried looking for a breakdown of what points the Commander gets during a game:

Here is what I got so Far

Granted Request for UAV - 1pt
Granted Request for Supply box - 1pt
Artillery Kill - 1 pt
Resupply/Heal from Supply box - 1pt


now for those I'm not sure of, but think you get them

Squad capturing flag - 1pt
Enemy killed while in UAV scope - 1pt

Do you get point for ordering a squad to somewhere and them accepting?

cheers

Don't think you get a point for an arty kill.

Re: What do you get points for as Commander?

What about for flying around in a plane or charging into battle without using any UAVs or supplies for the whole map?

I figured that must be worth some points since I see commanders doing it so often...
:p

Re: What do you get points for as Commander?

thats not how you get commander points. commander poitns is basically the average score of your team, no matter wut u do you'll still get the same points.

Re: What do you get points for as Commander?

I thought any Arty kills just lowered the tickets for the opposition, rather than boost the commanders points? Just shows I never pay any attention

Re: What do you get points for as Commander?

i dont know about those...I know that is how it was before 1.03, or at least I think so, but now it just...lol, the only way I have noticed I get points is when a teammate catures a point. Art gives you nothing except kills. Maybe if a squad requested an art strike it would work...but I dont know. Real sqauds are hard to find, and frankly when I play in a squad, I never request a barage from the commander, they have the sat scan and can put it to better use (usually at least) where they see the most targets....so I really don't have any idea how you get points for commanding

yes thats y u throw arty at them n not at ur own team. arty kills used to be counted before the patch, now wit the patch it isn't so dont bother trying to increase ur k/d ratio wit it.

Re: What do you get points for as Commander?

Commander Points and Commander Bonus

How Commander Points work

The formula for commander points is:

Total score earned by the team / # of players = Commander score.

Back in the days when BF2 players were still trying to figure out the forumula, many believed it was the average score per player in the team, even the crappy BF2 manual stated this theory. However, many pointed out several flaws in this theory, either by testing it or giving a counter scenario such as: "Why won't commander's score drop if the average score of each player decreases?"

The word that was missing in the theory that the commander score is based on the average score per player was EARN. This word drastically changes how the commander earns its points and explains various causes that lead to commanders getting points.

Again, I shall remind you:
Commander score formula: Total points earned by team / # of players in the team.

You see, when the average points earned by player goes up, the commander's score also increases. What's so unique about this formula compared to others is that commanders are immune to point reduction if their team's average score decreases due to TKs or other similar acts. Also, it safegaurds commanders from losing points or being delayed from earning their points if one or few of their teammates, especially players that gained high # of points, leaves the server hence dropping the average points per player.

This formula also explains why commanders get points if a player kills a spotted enemy either by commander's spot command or UAV and why commanders earn points if their teammates captures the flag.

In addition, it encourages the commander to keep supporting their team to earn more points via UAV, Spots, and Supplies. Furthermore, since commanders do not get any points from artillery, they steal kill points (1 Kill = 2 points) from thier teammates and thus commanders must carefully decide whether to use artillery against its foes that could be dealt with by friendlies. After all, friendlies get points for killing, but you do not (CMDR achieving 1 Kill/Assist/Capture = 0 points).

Do you see the irony? Killing enemies or capturing flags alone as commander will make you steal points from your teammates and therefore, by the formula, you will also be robbed of potential commander points.

Example of the formula in the works: In the first half of the match, your team consists of 20 players who earn a total of 400 points. However, due to Teamkills and other related incidents, your team has an overall total score of 325. In the 2nd half, 10 players from your team disconnects the server and thus you have a total of 10 players in your team. They earn a total of 300 points but due to TKs and other related incidents, your team has an overall total score of 250.

So with the given information, what's the total possible score a commander would get before the 2x bonus? Lets see:

1st half: 400 points earned / 20 players = 20 points per players
= 20+ for commander

2nd half: 300 points earned / 10 players = 30 points earned per player
= 30+ for commander

The total score a commander could have before 2x bonus is 50.

Commander Bonus

As you know, only Commanders get 2x bonus if his team wins. However, it's not actually a 2x bonus but it's good enough to describe it generally. In truth, the game doesn't actually double your score, but actually adds the commander points you earned to your total score. The significant effect of this rule is

-Even if somehow, such as teamkill, you lose points, the bonus will still account for that point

-No one can double their points simply by becoming the commander just before the round ends.

So let's say you had the total of 50 commander points and overall of 50 points. You score 2 teamkills, giving -8 to your overall score to 42. The round ends with your team winning the round. Instead of 42 x 2 = 84, you actually get 92 points. Why? Because the game actually adds your overall score to the commander points you earned, so it's actually 42 + 50 = 92.

Conclusion, the formula is: Total Score + Commander Points Earned, not Total Score x 2.

Finally, players who rack up a lot of points by kills, teamwork points, and flag captures and quickly be commander before the round ends do not double his score because he had no commander points to be added to his total score at all.

KK.... just find it strange that sometime I end up with massive scores at end of round, yeah i do get the x2 for winning the map.

I am certain you get points for actually doing stuff...
