Well sheesh.
Commanders: What makes a good commander is the ability to adapt to your situation.
There are plenty of variables. Number of people on each team, if you were commander from beginning or if you took over, tactics of other team, troop quality on both teams, the response time of the players, ping, if the players die right after you give them good guns, or if they're cautious, the way the map is layed out, heck even the personality of the commander..... alot of variables.
No one set thing will work in every situation. There is no perfect build order and plan. The maps are not just different to look "pretty". One tactic may work on one map but not on another. Sometimes turret farming works, sometimes going techie works, sometimes just handing out shotties and jetpacks work.... but not always. Take into account your situation, and look ahead. If a tactic isn't working, change it. The key is to be flexible, and be creative. Take what you have, and make it a win. WIth a team of L337 players, you may not even bother with heavy armor because the guys can hold their own. With newbie players, heavy armor may be the only thing that gives them a chance. Take what you can do to it's limits- get inside the enemys decision makeing process and make them react rather than act. Your advantage being frontiersmen is that you have a centralized command. If not used well, this can be a disadvantage.
Thank you, thats all ^_^
