Question about being targeted by enemy commander

Also... a lot of commanders don't even know how to do it. And those that do rarely pay enough attention to actually see the notification box in time to set it.

Really because I've had rounds where I was hvt for almost the whole round. They kept applying it every chance they get. Granted it was rounds where I'd go 40+ kills to like 5 or less deaths. The fact is it's just an excuse to help people who suck at game a chance to kill someone.

I think it's there more to discourage camping then to punish people who are good at the game. I get it all the time but for me it is not that bad because I know if I continue to move and stick with my team I can overcome hvt.

No, it's a practical command and control tactic that has historical roots. The Red Baron was targeted. So were various enemy snipers in WWII and Vietnam. Yes, this is on a different scale tho. However, would you have preferred Dice/EA base it on historical k/d stats? lol.

No different than in BF2 where the commander might start dropping arty on a particular squad he sees repeatedly. Except in this case he lets EVERYONE know "there they are!"

Its annoyng cause I love being sneaky! Thats why I have a supressor.

It can be annoying...I do see the value of it from a commanders perspective, and also agree that it has historical reference. However, I do not understand why anyone would waste that on me...I got targeted like 3 times the other night...was odd.

Probably because most people don't go 6:0 on kills. I've seen it to use it maybe 3 times as commander. That's all.

A lot of this ... also,

A Commander has to spend accrued "assets" to designate a HVT. Sometimes more than one HVT is an option. As a Commander, I'll always light 'em up because it gives extra points to the person that takes out the HVT. As a SL, I've sought out HVTs, many snipers camping the tops of buildings and such.

As a player, I couldn't care less if the enemy Commander designated someone an HVT (though we are asked to protect said person).
