BF3 has the potential to be quite a strong team/squad based game if put the commander back in. As someone whose been a commander numerous numbers of times in BF2 it added to the fun.

though squads didnt always listen to the commanders and go where they were being directed but quite a lot of the squads i worked/played with especially the squads with more experienced players who were leading the squad followed commands probably 80-90% of the time and I enjoyed supporting them when they requested vehicle/supply drops or Artillery/Car-tillery drops.

There needs to be someone who gives the other players a 'sense of direction' otherwise its just like BC2 or CoD. just total chaos and lonewolfer's trying to solo rush an enemy capture point when the area has more enemies then cookies have raisins. Having a force from above to point the way can greatly change the final outcome of a game. otherwise its just mindless and people run around like headless chickens unless they are experienced players, a clan or friends using voicecomms
We do have a remedy for that. Teamspeak . Works Great and lots of TPU'er !
You'd get a high ping , but I play British servers a lot and it isn't real bad. Occasionally
I get killed because of lag or have to dump a server because of it.

No that is what squads are for.
Squad up and don't worry about those boneheads.
TPU squads usually push the team to the winning side.
