Battlefield 3 Commander was a hot topic at DICEO Really...Many (us included) are disappointed by the lack of a Commander feature in Battlefield 3. The Commander was a groundbreaking addition to Battlefield 2, and set the game apart from many other shooters, adding another layer to the gameplay. DICE has previously explained why the Commander feature was removed in Battlefield 3: only one player could play as Commander, and they preferred to “lower the threshold” and allow all players to use assets like the UAV. Ironically, in Bad Company 2, only one player could use the UAV, compared to two Commanders in BF2.
Speaking at the Eurogamer Expo, DICE’s Karl Magnus-Troedsson said that the Commander was a “hot topic” at the studio, with some developers in favor of it and other against. He said:
QUOTE
“When the dev team sat down and thought about this, the Commander role was a very important and hot topic in the studio I have to say. Some people wanted us to implement it in the absolute same way as we had before; some of us wanted us to reinvigorate how we do it.
I don’t know how many people have tried to play as a Commander in Battlefield 2, but it’s kind of a strange experience. Everyone agrees that that actual role of the Commander is very, very cool. But the problem is that only one person per team could play it, and it was always the highest ranking one”
Troedsson made another, more interesting argument against the Commander feature, saying:
QUOTE
“They [Commanders] basically spent the whole match lying on the ground on some obscure corner of the map, hoping not to get knifed in the back and trying to support people”
We disagree with DICE’s reasoning for removing the Commander — Commanders helped the team greatly by providing supplies, by using the UAV, by calling in the artillery, by spotting players. The Commander was never supposed to fight, and in fact, most BF2 players hated a “fighting” Commander. The Commander was basically playing an RTS — a game within a game — and being a Commander was never boring, you had to work hard for your team. Someone was always willing to play the role, and the team with a Commander was far better off then a team without one.
Honestly, we’re still taken aback by DICE occlusion of the Commander feature, and their reasoning behind it.
SourcePlayStation 3 getting Battlefield 3 expansions one week earlierThat's It? 
Timed exclusives are nothing new, and it appears that Battlefield 3 will join the list of games that offer exclusive content on a selected platform for a set period of time. Much like Microsoft and Activision, which have a deal on Call of Duty DLC arriving earlier on Xbox 360, Sony and EA have teamed up to bring Battlefield 3 DLC earlier to the PlayStation 3.
According to the official PlayStation Blog, where DICE’s Tommy Rydling announced that Battlefield 3 DLC will arrive 1 week earlier on the PS3, starting with Back to Karkand later this year.
We can’t say that we’re surprised by this, especially considering Microsoft’s deal on exclusive Call of Duty DLC, which has been very lucrative for them. Also, a week is much shorter than the 1 month time frame that Call of Duty DLC gets on the Xbox 360.
