This is Bullshit man! I'm upset that this report states no commander in BF3. It kind of made BF3 a RTS for those players using the feature. I actually liked the feature as it gave you a different perspective of strategy an tactics during the battle.

maybe it will return in DLC.

captain-obvious5622d ago

i dont know if this is a fail or a win
i mean you may get stuck with someone that suck as a commander
and sometimes you actually need someone to lead the team if they are all running all over the place like headless chickens

but i think they'll implement the system that BFBC2 had
anyone can issue a command

Yi-Long5622d ago

... I know what to do and how to do it. I don't need a commander.

For other who work more team-based, it might be a miss though. To me, I really don't give a hoot. :)

Trunkz5622d ago

Commander mode was a hit/miss feature. Sometimes you had someone awesome as a commander, and sometimes you had idiots use it in tanks to give THEMSELVES repair boxes to repair the tanks, etc and use the feature only for themselves.

Also, anyone remember the hack (or was it a glitch?) someone did where they could put INF stuff on the field?

I only seen it with my eyes once or so where someone crushed our tank to death with crates and jeeps... Anyway, I hope they add something nice with squads to make up for it.

BattleAxe5622d ago (Edited 5622d ago )

Heres what Battlefield 3 will release with:

- Five Maps
- Two or Three game modes(not playable on all maps)
- short single player campaign.

Then over the next year it will recieve 6 Mode Packs. Then once the next Call of Duty is about to release, it they will add a few maps.

Think I'm wrong? Look at the history...

#1 Its DICE making the game

#2 Bad company 1 released with one game mode and was given Conquest 3 months later. There were no new maps ever released for this game.

#3 Bad Company 2 Released with 4 game modes, but really it was only 3 game modes as Rush and Squad Rush are the same thing. Co-op and Vietnam map pack were added after for a total cost of $25 plus tax.

#4 BattleField 1943 was a really fun game, especially for $15, but it was never supported after its release.

So theres Dice's track record over the last 4 years. Don't get excited before you see what the game is going to be released with.

"#4 BattleField 1943 was a really fun game, especially for $15, but it was never supported after its release."

Unfortunately I have to agree with pretty much everything you said. I remember them saying that if there was enough demand for it or if the game sold very well, then they would add DLC to 1943. They never did, despite the fact that it's the highest selling downloadable game on PSN and XBL.

Well actually dice have numbers. If they say not much people used it, then they're right to explore other way of leading.

And don't come with "but I played com", you're not alone on earth.

visualb5622d ago

agreed.

plus, in a squad, and almost any "group" situation someone always instinctively and naturally takes lead role.

it just happens, even if very subtly

not a big loss imho

Terarmzar5622d ago

Whats commander? I'm only familiar with Battle Field Bad Company 2

chak_5622d ago

Someone playing as a commander, giving order to different teams, sending resupply or using mortar.

RedDead5622d ago (Edited 5622d ago )

You used to ask for permission to use Artillery(Artillery could also be destroyed by enemy team), squad members request it to the squad leader and squad leaders requested it from commander I think. Also the commader issued commands on where to attack, he gave each squad a location to attack, told choppers where to go etc. It really gave the game alot of team working in the right hands and basically a good commander with a good team would dominate anyone.

ZeroX98765622d ago

the commander feature was awesome! one of the little feature that made BF2 so unique

Let's see how the PC crowd reacts to this.

I wish someone can get those EA game leaks to see all the cut content ngl

anast540d ago

Get rid of campaigns, move the game to mobile, and try to compete with warzone. They would save time and money.

Bf4 was fun hope the new bf is just as good.

hmmm I think there will be no old BF glory days for EA since they are loyal to their greediness and laziness :D

Knightofelemia1326d ago

You're asking for a miracle with EA that will never happen unless they can exploit the money making schemes behind it.

MadLad1325d ago

We'll see what happens now that Zampella is overlooking the series.
