Right, as a veteran of games like BF1942, BF2 & BF3 (BF2 as in Battlefield, not the commonly mistaken Bad Company 2), I enjoyed commander mode. Playing in clans over TS and Vent, we could dominate, or be dominated, all thanks to the commander. Provided the people listen, the commander can essentially take away all of the confusion of an FPS, and band people together to make it of a First Person 'Followeachothertotheobjective', which is exactly what me, like many others want. I opened this thread to see what ideas you guys might have heard, or what speculation we can come up with, and to make suggestions too perhaps. I also want to make this thread active enough to grab Dev/GM attention, so lets see where it goes

Of course ironing out the basic FPS elements is crucial but what I think will set DUST aside from most FPS's is the social aspect. Corps, Alliances, and teamwork in matches.
Some things I would like to see are:
Bonus points for operating in an area designated by a commander/squad leader. (ex. kills near an objective or capturing an objective your chain of command designated gets you double the skill points that it would normally be worth.)
Commanders or squad leaders get command suits that operate similar to command ships in EVE. they give bonuses to say shield, armor, speed, or a range of other skills that would normally be effected by SP.
Control of corp/alliance assets. Say your alliances funds 50 HAVs for your assault. any player can call in an HAV but it has to be approved by the commander before an alliance asset is given to just anybody.
MCC command center functionality. The commander operates from inside the MCC or a control bunker that is "red zoned" to the enemy so that he can focus solely on commanding his troops. commander should always have a 0/0 K/D ratio and should get his points at the end of the match based on how well his troops perform.
One of the best, unbiased, and quite possibly well balanced things I've heard on this forum so far, although there needs to be a system where commanders are not point hunters, ie Corp Leader manually assigns commander, not sure yet, haven't given it much though
Would love to see a Dev response to what I quoted above from Erahk Manaan though |

I'd love to see only the best people being commanders aswell, i.e. commander isn't voted, or isn't highest SP, but rather is selected via Corp leader in corp battles - that way, if your CEO chooses crappy commander, then it doesn't matter as much, as oppose to some random guy joining auto filling commander slot due to highest SP
Any ideas on how commanders will take control (over other players?) |

Any ideas on how commanders will take control (over other players?) Commander will be decided before the battle starts and only in corp matches, there are no commanders for the battle moons. The commander will be like the FC in Eve, telling you where to go over voice comms and broadcasting objectives through their interface. There will never be a commander role for a pick up battle of people who don't know each other.
That is fantastic news, thanks :D This way I can always be my own commander in my own corp haha |
