And championship games are usually put together well.

This seems like it would solve a problem of lame squad leaders, but it would actually make it worse. The commander has no real qualities. They are just random players, like any squad leader. At least Admins are responsible somewhat who runs their server.

So basically you are suggesting that players should be able to kick each other.

People talk **** about other squads constantly in PR, especially if a squad is off somewhere away from the main force doing something other than frontal assault.

It will degrade into players just going Commander to kick SL's, or kicking SL's to punish squads.

bahiakof wrote:Yes, the abuse can happen if you give power to those who have no responsibility, so the Commander is an asset for people with common sense. But the commander can rather than kick the SL directly, it can open an option for the other squad leaders accept whether or not to remove one squad leader who is not following the goal (same happens with the new tool that removes commander), without having to be using "! r" to solve simple problems. It would be a good democratic choice of the players to solve minor organizational problem on the team.

matty1053 wrote:Or how about a "vote to kick" squad leader function?

Commander starts a vote, then the other squad leaders (minus the one being kicked). As there is 9 squads, 6 votes are needed to boot the squad leader from leading the squad.

If this was a well known feature, this would not work out well. Hell, I can see it now...
some random player goes commander when everyone is fighting for squads, then they just kick all the squad leaders.

I doubt the BF2 engine would be able to do this though.

There is mainly admins who manage this kind of things but when there is no admins around, then this would be good to have. We could try it and if it starts a shitstorm all the time, then we just remove it?

I would like to try this tough.

Some other player would look at it for two seconds and decide to kick the SL.

There are over zealous players in PR.

It's easy to deal with a bad CO right now, you just ignore him (thanks mumble!). Giving them the power to resign SLs strikes me as more trouble than it's worth, especially since there's no way to know if the replacement will be any better and operating on a revolving door leadership policy at any level is a recipe for disaster.
