BF3 to Have Commander Function... or a Commo Rose. It's one or the other ;)

[philo-sofa]

No really Battlefield 3 on PC will officially have either:

- a commander
- a commo rose

No one can be sure which one it is, but DICE just announced one or the other will be in the PC version of the game. The confusion comes from a BF3 dev confirming the inclusion for PC of 'commander roles' however the editor of Atomic magazine (rightly IMO) thinks the interviewer may actually have misheard him say 'commo rose' lol:


One of the key feedback we got, for instance, was that people wanted the comm roles back on PC. So that’s one thing that we actually have added. It’s a PC specific feature, but it’s the PC community that has asked for it.


Either way it's nice to know DICE are listening, even if the journalists aren't always :) You can follow the Chinese whispers here: http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/News/267327,battlefield-3-on-pc-to-feature-a-commander-role.aspx

if they haven't implemented commander by now it won't be coming

[swindle]

Considering it must be only weeks from disc printing?

[=C=]

Doesn't have to be on the disc, can be enabled/added via patch like the back to karkand expansion pack, etc...

[mattnz]

I don't think they're going to completely change the structure of the game a month out.

yea patching in a commander sounds like a really bad idea.

[5tacK]

yea patching in a commander sounds like a really bad idea BF2 patch 1.3.

Fixed

[philo-sofa]

^^ did BF2 seriously not have commander function when released? Man I'll always be a nub at that game.

Go on... quote away.

[5tacK]

Had a commander on release, patch 1.3 was an abortion though.

-Vehicle drops added
-Co-op mode added
-Attack Choppers gimped
- Regular server Disconnections added

[philo-sofa]

lol kk cheers for straightening that out man :)

[Obble]

- Regular server Disconnections added

The time it took dice to fix that was fucking disgusting.

[[∞]MadMike]

I think the public were calling for a roll back on 1.3 were they ?

[SheepShagger556]

pretty much. Oh how i miss C4 Frisbees.

[Dr Woomanchu]

C4 chucking in BC2 is pretty effective and fun.

[=C=]

C4 chucking in BC2 is pretty effective and fun.

+1 with a sniper assault kit :) Bush wookie hunting armor is fun.

Its obviously the comma-rose. The commander feature is very much game defining and such an advanced feature could not be implemented so close to release, many things in the game would need to be change to accomadate it.

[5tacK]

It's obviously the commo rose. A developer confirmed this more than 2 weeks ago.
