    Hi again,

    Alright. I will summary your questions here..

    "Really sorry about this Timmy but where is the special queue in battlelog does it work for anyone in beta or is it really just completely Radom and when you are the commander what do you open the commander screen up withi just thought of that sorry."

     

    I guess there will be a section were you can enter as a commander. If this feature will be available on the beta, I can't answer. But it is most likely it will.

    ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    "Oh and does bf4 beta require online pass to play."

     

    No. You won't need a online pass to play the beta. This will be the same for the actual game. You don't need a online pass for any EA title anymore.

    ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    "Timmie um I got a problem so I Playing Medal of Honor and I redeem my codes for online pass and bf4 beta and I download it was a pretty fast download and then I look for bf4 beta and it doesn't show up so I google the problem nothing I contact a game advisor random things pop up so idk I redeem the codes again and I see only 1 thing showed up and it only said online pass so idk what to do now maybe the wrong code was sent to me or idk."

     

    This is because the Battlefield 4 beta is not available yet. 😕mileytongue: It will be available later this year for download.

    ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    If you have more questions, please let us know.

    - With kind regards,

      Timmie.

    I am confused.   I was unaware of the delay of the IOS commander mode, however read that it can still be accessed on the PC/MAC.  I attempted to find a way to access it however came up fruitless.  Is it (commander mode) available on the pc for a ps3 game, if not when will it be available.  My second question is that i am aware the IOS commander mode is delayed however when is it coming out and will i be able to spectate a game that my friends are playing on it aswell?  Thank you for your time

    At first you will have to level up your soldier to rank 10, this will unlock commander mode for you. You can then join a server as commander the same way you would join as a normal player. This is also true for spectator mode. Once you select a server through the server browser in Battlelog, there should be three buttons. One for joining as a soldier, one for commander and a third one for spectator (if commander and spectator slots are available on that server).

    As far as I know the commander app for tablets does not work with spectator mode, but I could be wrong here.

    How does a commander switch teams? There are only options resign.

    As far as I'm aware there is no option to switch teams as a commander. You can leave and rejoin the server, however the first commander will always be on the "left" side (if you look at the scoreboard).

    These instructions are for joining a PC game using a PC. We want to know whether you can play commander in a PS3 (or PS4 when released) game using battlog via PC (as opposed to remote play on a tablet). I, too, read that this would be possible and want to join my PS3 platoon by playing as their commander from Battlelog on my PC browser.

    I'm wondering the same thing.  I don't have an iPad but I own the ps3 game.  Sometime I want to join any server while I'm on my PC and the join button doesn't work.

    Download the app called "battlefield tablet commander" go to the app store (iOS) and just type battlelog.
    It will show both the battlelog app and the commander app.

    You can browse a server from the battlelog and hit join as commander, that will open the commander app (if instaleld)
    Also of The commander app is not installed, the join as commander button is white, if the app is installed and working it shows as orange.

    So dowlnload battlefield tablet commander, open it, and sign in. ;-)

    Just type in BF4 commander in the search bar (if your using an iProduct). It will only work on your iPad though so you can't use it on iPhone or iPod Touch. Hope this helps!

    This is such a smart system, guaranteeing that I always have a 50/50 chance of playing against my friends who I want to play with. Well thought out!

    Seriously though, that's really lazy... I don't think I've ever played a game where 'join friend' means 'probably play against them, but that's what you wanted, right?'

    Yeah man this is rediculous. They've really screwed this up. It's not even logical........BF4 is a game you're MEANT to play with friends, and it's the hardest game to play with friends. Absolutely stupid, lazy and rushed. Would be nice to fix the crashes too.

    On xbox, I have commander mode as an option but not spectate? I have looked on lots of servers, so I am confident that the setting is enables on the server.
