    Just an idea I had while killing things in BF2 today

    Ok, I know a lot of people won’t like this, some will. Really I don't care, it's just an idea and you know, I think it could really catch on...

    My idea is a new mode of play, but not something drastic or crazy. It's something that could easily be implemented and done, as it requires no change to the maps themselves or special...anything. The game mode is exactly the same as conquest...only with one change...no commander. Think about it...wouldn't it be kind of cool to play a map where you didn't have to constantly worry about artillery raining down and blowing you so high in the air that you can see that hovering enemy UAV up close and personal? Or that annoying little commander that can see every one on the map with a click of the sat scan? Or the annoying tanker that is killing every one and no matter how many AT rockets you put into them, it doesn't matter because right behind them out of your view is a supply crate courtesy of the enemy commander. Ya I know these are useful tools...but really I think it would be kind of nice to play a map without having any of these...

    First it would require people to actually spot things more often, and use new skills as OMG, there is no UAV to show where all the bad guy are...OMG...lol.

    Anyway, I could go on about this but really I am getting bored typing. So, this was just an idea, commanderless conquest...only change in the levels would be the removal of the art guns, uav and sat trailer...or could leave them there to just blow up and get more points lol. Either way, would be nice to not always have to worry about someone always knowing where you are (especially for snipers) and really bring back the kind of game play that was bf1942 and bfv.

    Yes, I know commanders are useful, that is why I suggested this as a different game mode...that way you can have both sides...Or even make it a server side option to have commanders or not. Feel free to rant, flame, boil, curse, cook, bake, or whatever else you would like to do, I probably won’t ever read it because I am going to bed Lol. And I am sure by the time I wake up this topic will be on page 20 something lol.

    I think a server option would be great. The possibilities of new modes would be awesome compared having absolutly no adjustibility as it is now.

    You could do infantry only in maps that are mostly air/armor. I scratch my head all the time thinking of reasons why not to have alternate game modes. Maybe someday they will allow it, but untill then we are stuck with vanilla and mods.

      we're currently involved in a 5v5 infantry tournamet that is 'commanderless' - personally, the jury is still out on it, but plenty of people love it... Had a nice match last night, even as a loss, as we dropped 2 sides 4-0 and 6-0. Wierd playing and having to look everywhere for enemies, with no uav/sat scan to help you out :)

      The tournament is locked, but I'm not sure what they'll do afterwards: www.nato-ladder.com

        Interesting. I hate the commander mode as it is like every player knows where every other player is. It makes it into a huge slugfest. Not a search and destroy.

          i think a commander'less option would be very nice.
          be better if instead of swapping sides, like some servers do and play the map 2 times.....instead of swapping sides, it plays once, commander, 2nd, no commander.
          Be intresting for sure.

              I think that this would be GREAT! Visibility is something that does not come cheaply in BF2. No matter how well you think you are hidden, they will always find you. Top that with the fact that if you are commander, you have to deal with the constant destruction of your assets by fools who do nothing else in a round.

              I say good idea! Too bad it won't be put into good use.

                Rather then DICE implementing this, why not put a higher premium on the uav trailors. Not in the points giving for blowing them up, but for the length of time they stay down.
                So if i blow up the UAV/SCAN/ARTY even if im right there as it goes, to repair it. .. ... .. Have it take eons for it to repair. I guess that would hurt alot of teams though maybe.
                But it would be cool, if you were sneaky enough to get in and blow up the arty/uav trailer, that the enemy commander couldnt fix it within 3 minutes. Thats kinda stupid, if you think about it.
