Battlefield 2 Playing as commander

[leggomyeggroll]

i'm curious on how the commander gets his points. i know the basic combat and teamwork doesnt contribute to his points, when i kill someone i only get a kill not 2 points as opposed to being a soldier. when i repair, revive, i dont think i get pts either. so how do i get points? is it based on how my team is doing? if so, what kind of factors.

i'm trying to get the commander badge but i usually top out at like 36 or 38 pts but you need 40 pts.

order your squads around and give them what they request for

also winning... x2 total points

Ya, have squads make sure they request whatever they need... you'll get your points. Points for artillery hits count I believe as well.

You get one point for each kill by artillery. If you drop a supply crate, you get points when your team uses it to repair/heal/resupply.

To get alot of points, find a server that play a 64 person map, even if they only have 32 players or so. Both teams start out with more tickets, so the game alsts longer, enabling you to score more points in a single round.

Personally I think Strike at Karkland is a good map for Commander because it's entirely ground forces (no planes/helis), and there's always alot of action going on. Artillery has a high chance of getting kills, and repair crates are used often. Also, since the flags are fairly close together, odering squads to defend/attack areas is easier for them to get to quickly.

thanks for the info. i was not aware that i get pts from killing enemies with artill, because i killed a bunch of suckers when they tried to raid one of my bases but i dont think i got any pts(?) or maybe i didnt notice...i dunno...all i know is that i usually dont get pts for killing whether it would be artillery or by weapon. yeah i usually play at a server called RAW West Coast Server, and it's a 64 size map with 64 players but the rounds are really short mainly because the MEC team doesnt defend their home base that well, the round usually doesnt last more than 15~20 min. and i dont think getting 2x the score will give you the badge because i remember getting 72 pts for winning the other day and i still didnt get the badge, so i'm assuming you must either get a total of 80+ pts when winning or simply 40pts when losing.

but anyways, i will keep those info in mind.

You don't get points for each person you kill with artillery - no way! lol

I've been spammed by my arty kills and watched my score, it does not increase in relation to how many kills I got with the arty.

Giving orders does not give points, nor does spotting enemies. My guesses are as follows:

1. You get points for utilizing artillery, uav, scan, and supplies. You do not get additional points if these tools were requested when you use them.

2. You get additional points when your team takes control points. You'll notice that in games where there is a lot of flag capturing going back and forth, you will get a lot more points as commander.
