Nearly always thankless, but a tremendous asset when used correctly. Don't do it to be thanked.

DICE jacked up the Commander and has purposefully ignored doing things to make it a functional asset once again; from the near irrelevant Commander assets to the inability to effectively communicate with SLs, DICE has made it hard to be a Commander (lol, and they've improved upon what they did for BF3!)

Sadly, I haven't Commanded in a long while ... will do this weekend though.

It's difficult to care about the Commander ... DICE clearly does not. I'm afraid they don't have a lot of heart for team play either. They are marketing to the self absorbed individual ... an army of one.
