BF2S Forums Are your actions as commander factored into your commander score?

Yeah, pretty sure.

Commanders dont get team points. LISTEN UP FOOLS!! So many times Ive seen a medic commander go around revivi ng people and stopping momentarily to check the screen. FOOLS"

Partialy right u are, u get credited for all kinds of teamwork in your stats like revives, repair and so on but you dont get points in the round u get them as commander.

Right, so you guys are just absolutely positive that things you do aren't also added in and divided by the # on your team....

That sounds like what I've heard before, but I am fairly certain I was commander all of that round, and that map is so spread out that I would have been accepted as commander before encountering any enemies or capturing anything.

And I'm not suggesting that you get points directly, just that what you do is also factored into the average. Sorry if I am just confusing people with a misleading screenshot if thats the case.

-------------------------------------

But if people are going to bring up the subject of combat commanders in response to this then I would like to point out that those strategies arent always bad.

While a good team always benefits from a commander spotting everything and frequently using scans, you sometimes encounter a team (USMC on karkand or wake) that is relatively content to not cap any flags at all. If you are confident in your infantry skills (more of us are than probably should be), then sometimes you can do your team more good by going on a little top secret operation to one of their back flags or an empty flag. I would do this alone or with some of your teamates. Alone can even be better for avoiding detection. If you are being stealthy then it usually isnt hard to stop and deliver assets so you arent burdening your team too much. Once the gridlocked lines are broken then you can sit back and concentrate on commanding more.

On wake as a commander i sometimes take a jet (this one pisses some people off so much) and fly it to the north base or beach  (whichever one shows up empty on the scan--or even the airfield if it looks nice) and then just bail to capture it under UAV support.

While you aren't scoring yourself any points using these tactics, they often make the difference between your team letting the tickets drain at the hotel or on the carrier and them fighting an even battle at the gatehouse or on the island. And we all know a win gets you points and a better W:L.

This is for dealing with situations where your team just isnt effectively moving for flags. Am I the only one that feels like a lot of rounds are decided within the first 5-7 min depending on if the one team has captured yet? I still agree that if your team is being functional, you need to be winning them tickets with arty and spotting, but sometimes you have to get things moving yourself (and with your assets you are the most advantaged player on the battlefield). The king or queen pieces in chess come to mind.

Here's the main reason for discrepancies like these:

If people have earned score in the game, but leave the match part way through, their score still contributes to the commander score. If people quit the game, their contribution to the commanders score does not suddenly dissapear.

In this screenshot, it does not show the people who may have earned some points earlier in the game, but left the server before you took the screenie.

Commanders do not get x2 if they apply for command with 100 points at the end of round

They just get doubled the COMMANDER SCORE earned. So if they apply in the end and get 2 commander points it will be doubled to 4

What this screen shows is that you participated in the round as a team member BEFORE you became commander.  In that time, you had 3 kills and 2 deaths.  For those 3 kills you got 6 points.  The rules for commander score only apply to the time during which you are the commander. 

As an example, in a round I play the first 5 minutes as a squad member.  In that time I get 5 kills and 3 kill assists.  My round score to that point is 13.  I look at the board and notice we have no commander so I apply and get it.  FROM THAT POINT ON, my team of 20 earns 400 total points.  My team also wins the round.  My total score at the end of the round is my player score (13), plus my commander score (400/20)*2X=40, for a total of 53.  Note that my player score DOES NOT get multiplied by 2 and that the team's points earned for my commander score are only those earned while I was commander.

On arty kills, they do count in your overall statistics but do not count for points in your round scores.  You also do not get any POINTS for flag caps, defends, repairs, etc. while commander but do get credit for these actions in your statistics.

First, I DID search and came up with this thread.

Second, Sure I'm noobish but I want to ask anyways. Live with it.

Question below quote....

From Wiki link at top of the screen wrote:

Commander Score
The commander score is the sum of all commander points earned. The commander points are every point earned by a member of your team during your reign as commander divided by the total of living team members at the given time. This is multiplied by two at the end of the round, when your team wins, and only if you are still active commander at the end of the round. Artillery kills or any personal achievement does not add up to this number. Personal achievements besides artillery kills are added to your points in the round, and count as combat or team points.

Do you get points for Accepting resupply/uav/arty requests?  Or now in 1.3 for vehicle drops?

What about if an order is followed?

I think but I'm not sure how I prove it that these items might get you points too.

Any suggestions on how I can prove if they do or not work? Or if my *twitch*/search failed, was this asked before and proven?

I've noticed distinct difference in my scores based on my actions.
