No commander no special kits.

[Cassius]

I wanted to suggest to disable the handout of special kits (anti tank Sniper etc.) if there is no commander 10 min. after game start. Now it isnt an issue on the servers I play regularly where a team is rarely without a commander but if the mod becomes bigger it might become one.

[Rudd]

no, just no, if no wants to go commmander they will not

I prefer the new bunker system where having a commander is a plus, but isn't a necessity

it really isn't fair on the team as a whole imo

[Lynx]

you'll end up with worse than nothing commanders who were forced into it rather than actually wanting to do the job
game would shoot it's self in the foot then

[Sir.Saul]

Commander is boring (or so at least I think) and probably many others think so.
Agree commander is the ultimative asset ingame but if no one wants to be it, you shouldn't cripple the hole team.
Imagine Zatar Wetlands without pilots?

Oh and by the way, in case you are one of those who like to say "GUYS! We need commander!!!!"
Please do it yourself, cause after noobs, thats the most annoying thing ever.

Best thing is when you hear "hey guys, we have a commander now"

"how do I use area attack?"

you know ur screwed....

well in a game round ( i think u was there) commander didnt even know how to deploy bunkers, and once he finally got it he didnt have a command post down ??:

[gclark03]

This could work, but how about encouraging people to play Commander without tying up the entire limited kit system?

[IAJTHOMAS]

No need to screw at team without a commander even more, they'tr suffering enough as it is...

... or something even more interesting




Back on topic:
Commanders are usefull for the whole team, but players shouldn't be forced to have one by that kind of penalty. Teams without commander already have more problems (no bunkers/firebases, no area attack, no coordination, etc).

[M.Warren]

No thanks, It'll simply be too much of an issue. We don't need Project Reality complicated more than it needs to be. This particular way, is unnecessary.

[SGT.JOKER]

no, just no

x2

[Bob_Marley]

No. Bad idea.

And add to that the team are making changes so we don't need a commander for bunkers and such in 0.8, it goes against the direction the mod appears to be taking.

You can't mod the players and trying to make them do something they don't want to will just annoy them

[Howitzer]

But you can make this something more attractive to the player but dont ask me how i have no idea XD

[Zimmer]

In my rookie days I also believed that the commander position was fun but could be done attractive. But now in public I am only com so we can put up a fast bunker or firebase or a command post.

Commander is only fun if you have around 7-6 sqs who speaks to you and do as you say that only happens in big fights where buddies and clan partners are SL's.

[Cassius]

ok ok ad acta then

But you can make this something more attractive to the player but dont ask me how i have no idea XD

I like being commander, if people actually follow orders and your plan ends up crushing the enemy on a server where all the clan tags are on the opposite team its rewarding. I would say encourage people to follow orders thats when peers like being commander.

[[T]Terranova7]

Thing is, with bunkers & firebases being constructible without a commander, it might be more frustrating to have one than not. With the way 0.8 is going, it sounds like the Commander's only worthiness would be his/her ability to accept JDAM requests (which in it's current state isn't really that helpful).

Although I do disagree with the suggestion as it does force a player to take up the CO position just to satisfy the team, something has to be done to make the Commander a respectable and generally wanted asset. Otherwise we might as well do away with the commander period.
