E3 2013: Battlefield 4 Commander Mode Explained in Trailer

Lee Bradley

Here’s a vid from EA and DICE which properly explains Battlefield 4’s enhanced Commander Mode functionality.

“Only in Battlefield will you lead your team in Commander Mode, which lets you take point and turn the tide of battle. Creative Director Lars Gustavsson delivers the intel on this fan-favourite feature.”

Battlefield 4 is out on Oct 29th in North America and November 1st in Europe, on current-gen systems. The next-gen version is due at some point after that.

  • Too much badass from this game
  • where is the video?
  • Can I not see the video or did I read it wrong?
  • That's a picture, not a video xD
  • Also just getting a picture :P
  • So this is USA vs Canada? Damn, we're screwed.
  • just a peekturee
  • @6 CHINA. CANADA doesn't even have an Army. Everybody knows that.
  • I just logged in to correct 6, you beat me to it :D
  • Woops. Vid added.
  • Finally bringing this in! :D was awesome to be commander in BF2 on the PC, will be awesome to be the commander in BF4 on next-gen ;D!!
  • I just wanna know how many players per team for x1, have they made any mention of that yet?
  • Well, I can confirm that there are already 100 Colonels and Medic Trains in BF4 - The U.S. hasn't lost a single ticket in that picture, while CA is simply getting stomped. What I can't confirm is - will this game have a higher player count on the 360? I can see why they wouldn't (not couldn't, mind you), but at the same time...
  • A good-looking girl loves videogame and playing Battlefield? WOW.
  • @12/13 360/ps3 12v12 XB1/PS$ 32v32 PC 64v64
  • @13 DICE has had 24 players on 360, just like BF3. And they can't do 64 players due to the hardware.
  • That looks cool, but can i command that really hot chick at the end of the vid to launch my missile?
  • What!? No "airstrike from the loo" jokes yet? I am dissapoint.
  • Damn you LensCrafter Ad!
  • this looks amazing....gotta be a catch somewhere
  • I can drop bombs while i drop bombs
  • Wonder how the commander is chosen for each match.
  • @22 It's kind of like its own mode, DICE said in an interview you can't be one of the soldiers in the game and the commander. http://www.gamespot.com/e3/battlefield-4-e3-2013-stage-demo-6409902/ That's a 30 minute interview with BF4 producer Patrick Bach about BF4 if anyone is interested.
  • Quick question do we need a tablet can we not use our controllers??
  • @15 You like pulling stats out of your ass or do you have something to support that?
  • @23 Thanks for the link. Was very helpful.
  • @24 You will be able to use your controllers. The tablet can be used as well, but you can access the commander mode from consoles and PC.
  • I wonder how "easy" it will be to get into the Commander's seat. I remember in BF2 on the PC it was quite difficult as someone else would usually get to be the commander, and when you finally got your turn it was a bit overwhelming at first to figure out how everything worked without prior practice. Once you got the hang of it it was pretty cool though.
  • This game is looking amazing on so many levels! Like the guy above, I wonder how hard it will be to become the Commander, but regardless, I am absolutely looking forward to the squad play and communications this game mode will be bringing! The more I see of this game, the more I love it!
