The Commander must be reintroduced

The feature that should distinguish Battlefield from other arcade FPSs is its organizational and strategic component. Currently, Battlefield 6 is a game that doesn't stand out in this regard. Teams are thrown into the fray, lacking organization, cooperation, and a leader to give them objectives to conquer. Teams with four players are too small and isolated from the rest of the faction and don't actively collaborate, but only passively, hoping that there are better-skilled players among their ranks to overwhelm their opponents. What DICE should focus on is improving the management component, reintroducing the role of the commander, as was present in BF2 and BF2142, and increasing cooperation between teams. Increase the number of players per team from four to five or six, and allow players to start matches with more than three friends, even in classic modes. In BF1, many public servers allowed players to play with more than three friends per match. I don't understand why there is this stupid limitation that compromises one of the most appreciated features of this game.

    But the chaotic destruction, fast paced action, and massive combined arms battles are the like defining aspects of the game.

    Having just one guy get to play with extra stuff isn't fun even if they play a wholly different loop. By design that's limiting and just not engaging as now instead of capping the point and holding it youre nailed by a cruise missile cause some dude got to press the "free kill" button. It is COOL sure yes conceptually, but in practice its just not that great.

    The mechanic I'm talking about obviously wasn't always available. Every time you threw something, you had to wait a while before throwing it again. This time was shortened if the members of the various fireteams followed the orders. So, in addition to awarding extra points, they allowed for quicker use of various gadgets. However, I don't understand what you mean when you say that having only one player in the commander role isn't fun... Obviously, one commander per faction. Do you want to have multiple commanders per faction by any chance?

     

    In any case, I recommend you go and catch up on some gameplay of BF 2142; a very old game but light-years ahead of modern games in terms of mechanics.
