Can the commander be shot?

[Nox.]

Can a sniper bullet go through that glass in commanders room?

That would make some interesting assassination mission possible scenarios.

[master of the templars]

i agree this would make some cool stuff possible and make the sniper a bit more use full, but i don't think its possible with the current commander box

[SkaterCrush]

It would also be good to put in a commander kit that has like a 2 minute respawn time, so you could kill the enemy commander then launch an attack in your enemy who don't have support of spotting and area attacks..

[HangMan_]

mayb this shud b moved to the suggestions? i agree it would be cool to b able to "assassinate" the enemy commander then launch an attack on them.

It's already hard enough to get someone to play commander, why would you want to make them killable on top of that?

I'm going to play commander when I can't join a full or partially filled squad when that operable UAV comes out.

No, for the love of god, no. Commanders are well out of the battle IRL, we don't need SPECAWPS to go kill a commander to play the game. They were made invincible inside the co post for a reason.

You can assassinate the commander already.

Just blow up his booth with C4 or a LAT or HAT or some thing. or just wait out side until he needs to come out to take a piss and then just shank him.

[Masterbake]

Yep, C4 is definitely the way.

[Zrix]

I have to agree with the critics, more snipers at the enemy mainbase is not something PR needs imho.

[Spec]

I neither agree on snipers being able to kill him nor on C4 or HAT being used for that. Combat Engineers are no special forces, and HAT is supposed to kill tanks. The commander would in real life be so far out that this just isn't realistic. It'd make being commander less attractive, which is another problem of PR, and it would require realistic base defense - and we only have 64 players.

[Drunkenup]

The idea really should only be able to be implemented to the Opfor team, I mean, you watch any war movie, and the commander of the well resourced force is always inside a structure that a sniper can't penetrate nor even see the commander.

another way round is !fly command but server usually crashes after this

[Nox.]

I can smell base rape around the corner if this does happen.

No, just commander rape.

Ex. in Platoon the commander nearly got killed by a kamikadze gook. Field commander is on the field, just in the rear with the gear.

Nerd hate strikes again!

[Outlawz7]

Seeing how on every other server there's a retard that picks up a gun and fires into the command post like an idiot, I'm glad the glass is bullet-proof.

[Rudd]

No, just commander rape.

the team will obviously defend their commander while they are in main if they try and rape the commander, what you gonna do about that?

oh yes...you'll have to baserape them.

[Sirex[SWE][MoW]]

IRL the commander is not that back, i assume we are talking about a company commander because the PR scope is hardly bigger then company battles.

[Spec]

Okay, but still, the base can never be as good defended as it would be in real life because we're too limited in player numbers. I mean - making it possible to snipe the commander might be fair for the sniper, but the defenders would not have realistic defence. And it would hurt the gameplay - everyone used for base defence is lacking on the field and is bored for most of the game, and the commander would be less attractive than now, which is a big problem of PR. And even if the commander is relatively close to the battlefield; I doubt he'd stand in an unsafe, unmobile trailer with huge windows all day without moving...
