Surely they can add one in even if it was left out for launch?

Signed. But don't know if they will do anything.

Also signed. Dunno if it will help, but it would be great if they do.

[XeroS1x]

Signed. Lets hope they add it, sure would be cool to include it, like good ol' BF2.

Just remember to verify your signing by clicking on that link they send you via e-mail. I only realized I had to do it this morning when I checked my mail. Just in case some of you might have missed it as well

Can someone explain to me what a commander does in Battlefield?

A good commander makes your life a lot easier. A kak commander, well it's just like playing with no UAV.

The commander can also play the map as per normal, but normally a commander finds a safe hidey spot and has a overview of the game the whole time by means of looking at the map on large scale. He deploys the UAV over a certain area. He can order in arty strikes to certain spots. He can also call in supply drops to a certain squad who request. He can also scan the map every few seconds with a radar to spot enemies ad then when he spots them on the map, you can see them on the mini map.
So a good commander can make a BIG difference to winning a map.

Not sure though if I'd miss a commander tho. I liked that in BC2 you could call your own uav or mortar strikes. Because as is the nature of the beast, there is normally some prick who grabs the commander seat in each round and only plays to boost his score or help out only his mates. I would rather consider something like a squad leader who has similar abilities, but those abilities can only be benefited from by that squad.

Or maybe a vote to kick the commander is he's playing like shit.

Ah yeah, I remember something like that now. Its been ages, was this also in future one, 2142 or what ever it was? Yeah but i know what you mean with the hogging. Really pissess me off when someone in Bad Company 2 just sits by the UAV the whole match.
