Commander spawning

How about having it so that the Squad leaders (and ONLY the squad leaders) can spawn on the Commander.....

This would encorage the commander to get into the thick of it and means he is ultimatly resposible for where the bulk of the troops are.

Uhm...Isnt the commanders role to station himself BEHIND the thick of action to give his troops the commands he needs... Realisticly a commander does not go off into battle like rambo, thats the grunts job...

ummm yeah I 'spose.... so why is there a 25% point bonus for being in the vicinity of the commander....???

- If you are in the vicinity of either your commander or squad leader, you will receive a 25% additional point bonus, and if you are in the vicinity of both, you will receive a 50% point bonus!

lol, 1 comander, 5 squads of 6... 5 suqad members spawn on commander, thats 6 peeps at one flag, then the squad members spawn on the squad leaders... WOW!!! 31 people at one flag you'd think they were going to war

Cant happen...

1. They are going to war.

2. It makes sense. I mean, you don't need a commander defending a base when he .A. is a good multitasker and .B. can fight well.

The factor of PRMM that I like is that you can't load up a Humvee and charge to the enemy base at the beginning of a round; you have to take them in order. So what's the point of a defensive commander if the battle isn't going to focus there anyway? Yesterday I was playing Karkand Night, we were USMC heading towards the Train wreck from the suburb... I was laying prone on a low section of the roadway, sniping with full-on night vision and causing havok in the Train Wreck area... and then, almost immediately, I saw a tank speed by on my left, followed by two fully loaded Humvees, followed by a wave of troops. The commander was one of them.

The commander should be able to be spawned on, probably with a yellow dot. If his team is going to be sticking together anyway, they might as well stay with someone who's going to have to fight whether he likes it or not.

Hmmm would be cool if you could spawn on commander but could be easily exploited so why not make it so the commander can spawn on any SL? Thus no exploits and he can still fight....

the way it is, is fine IMO. the only reason why we have kept the squad leader spawns is cos they encorage teamwork within the squad. Adding spawn poitns to a commander or what mad man suggested is really not about teamwork, its just about a nice little spot to select on the map to stop walking....

Commander HALOs from a jet, next minute you know his whole team are there. This doesn't encourage teamwork, sorry.
