EA has recently released an update to the Battlefield 4 Commander app. The Commander app is a companion app to your PC or console version of Battlefield 4. It allows you to take on the role of a commander from your compatible tablet and help lead your team to victory. Â It allows you to promote squads, call in air strikes, send out UAV’s to located enemy’s and a bunch more.
• Squad Member Visibility: You will now be able to see the player names and kits of players in a squad when it is selected
• VOIP visibility: You will now be able to tell which player in a squad is talking to you through VOIP
• Issuing orders to a squad now shows the position of all squad members while you are dragging out the order
• You can now drop squad assets (such as promotions) directly on the squad list
• If you have an XP boost active, the scoring for this will now be more visible in the UI
• Lots of bug fixes and stability improvements
I have spent a couple hours playing in commander mode and it is pretty good if you need a fix. I can see how it would be quite a bit more beneficial to those player that are more organized, and friends who play together in teams. I am not that dedicated, nor do I have the time to be. If you find yourself itching for something to do while you sit around and have your tablet handy, then the app is a good way to keep playing and boost your numbers.
Get the app on the Play Store if you don’t already have it. You do need an Origin account along with Battlefield 4 on your PC or connected console.
More details about the update and the app can be found at the Battlefield 4 Forums.
