BF2S Forums Commander In-Game Help

It isn't that hard, on a fairly balanced full server on a titan map, it is fairly easy to get at least 30 before 2x or 1x

i got mine on a low populated server try to hit your targets right with artillery adn supplys and give laods of orders

Supplying you team will give you a commander score for a certain amount of ppl/vehicles resupplying from that crate, and if you spot enemies and your team then kills them (whilst they are still on the radar because of you) you get points too, you will also recieve bonuses for UAV, EMP, basically everything counts towards commander badges, as long as you aid your team and squads and not the lonely sniper in the hills...
Giving orders which the squadleaders then follow will also give you alot of points...

I find it the easiest to get commanderpoints in close combat maps like Tunis Harbor (the best commander map), there i got a commanderpoint every two seconds

And i have the Gold conquest commander badge and i am going for the last 300 for the Titan commander badge...

best advice i can give is you should have been commanding when 2142 was still on 1.0 :S

but seriously lol: supply drops aren't as fragile as they were in BF2, and they last longer so drop them in as many choke areas as you can.

Well... I'll try my best... and thank you all... you all get a karma for being to kind

I actually finally got MY bronze commander badge!  And yeah, that 25-29 range was tough to hurdle!   BUT, what did it for me was a large map... around 10-12 people each side and LOTS of flag capping... losing the flag... and re-capping.   (Lots of going back and forth).  And, of course, the gun fights and teamwork.
As commander I did what I was supposed to by directing squads to attack here and there... dropped supplies and UAVs when requested... hand spotting enemies.... and was easy on the orbital strikes unless really needed.  Good game overall, actually.
Worked out to 34 points and picked up a couples pins along the way!

Allways keep in mind: Don't take away points from your soldiers, since this will reduce your final score!

Every action which would be worth direct points for a normal soldier (kills, repairs, flags, etc.) should be completly tabu for you unless there is a desperate need that you do it now or it would be to late for your team. (Yes, this includes arty. Remember that you don't command for increasing your k/d or for some kill streak pins!)

Fighting Commanders are pure idiots since they destroy their own points and increase the time to get all Commander awards remarkably.

And to repeat this again, all the Commander bonus points (orders, supplies, spotting, kills) are only career points. Of course they are nice to get unless you're a General already, but they are completely worthless for the ten Commander awards.

Of course kills, capturing, heals, etc., etc. are still counted towards your stats and may help you to get other awards faster, but to get these better be a normal soldier and get the global and career points for those actions too.


As far as I know the calculation of Commander points works like this:

Everytime a team mate gets a point, you get this point devided by the number of your team mates. Those fractions of points are cumulated and the combined full points are shown.

So if your total team size is for example 10 and every soldier gets 30 points this round, your score (1x) will be 30 (times per soldier) * 1/9 (fraction of a point) * 9 (number of soldiers) = 30 and therfore equals the average of your team.

But usually there is a constant comming and leaving during a round and therefore the real result differs more or less noticeably from the average.
