Thread: Battlefield 3

Fans of the series are at least two minds about it. The developers atDICE stated to the English-language website € gamers why they areagainst the Commander in Battlefield 3have decided. "As thedevelopment team has put together to talk about the Commander-roll,this was an important and hotly debated topic for the entire studio,"said General Manager Karl Magnus Troedsson. "Some peoplewanted the Commander returns to the way we did a Battlefield 2 know.Others wanted us to rethink the role and make some changes.

"I donot know exactly how many people are actually the Commander inBattlefield 2 have played, but it certainly is a rather strangeexperience. Everyone here believes that the Commander is a cool role.But the problem is that each team only one. And that's usually theplayer with the highest rank. [...] But what the players have everdone that had actually the Commander-role? you have hiding in acorner in front of the opponents and most of watched the match on thecard to support team members. "



According to the Commander-Troedssonrole had something pretty cool, but also something strange that didnot quite fit into the game. In Battlefield 3 would be to divide thepossibilities of the Commander of the Squad Leader and variousgadgets. Squad leaders can request, for example, artillery and mortarstrikes. Gadgets such as reconnaissance drones to ensure that enemyvehicles or infantry is displayed on the map. In this way, there isstill the most important functions of the Squad Leaders, only thereare multiple people who can also actively participate in the game andnot in a possible well-hidden corner somewhere to hide on the map.
