<div class="IPBDescription">Begins!</div>What are we going to do about people fighting over becoming the commander, im sure that there will probably be someone who stays in the commander seat the entire time, maybe possible just to annoy and not to help out the team, what will be done about him? Is there a time limit that they stay in? Can players vote to kick him out? Please Reply if you know the answer or just have something to say.

maybe you should read all the info stuff @ <a href="http://www.readyroom.org" target="_blank">The Readyroom</a> and the forum FAqs first, theyll give you answers to most of ur questions. If not try the search function of this forum to see if ur idea has been discussed before, so we dont have to talk about the same tings over and over again <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

Who wants to play as a commander? Just wondering how many people are gonna bother with the commander. I want to try out commander mode but wonder how many other people will actually want to play this role.

Being commander is stressful. In the first weeks/months of NS everyone will try it out, but most people will find that's simply too stressful. As a commander, you're responsible for nearly everything and your marines will blame you for everything that goes wrong. Most people want just a fast, quick game and as a commander, they doesn't get that. The role of a commander is also very skillful (right word?) and with the time, only the better commanders <i>want</i> to be commanders. They are the only ones who actually have enough fun as a commander to play it longer than...hmmm...very short. So there will be no need of a "vote for commander" because most of the people who get to the cc will be more or less good commanders.
I myself see the bigger problem in the possibility that there will be not ENOUGH commanders...

I imagine that when NS gets first released everybody and their dog will want to try commander, as it is one of the most (if not the most) distinguishing features of NS, but after a few weeks people will settle down and then the good commanders will start getting into it, and most players will find out they'd rather be on the ground.
I suspect that people who play each other a lot, especially clans, will start to have a sorta designated commander who is commanding almost every game, either because that person really enjoys it, is really skilled at it, or both.
but that is a bit late tho <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
maby a sub-patch to release 1
Who will command: I will. I don't care If i suck at first. If my team thinks they can do better, then let them kick me and do it. My hope is to be able to compete with MonsE very soon after release. We'll have to wait for some marine vs. marine maps to prove who knows it best. Hopfully I can pick it up quick and have fun in my lil' <b>VTRFW</b>
Yeah. That's how I feel about it. Looks real cool, but... a little shy on using it. I'll do the tutorial several times, try it out some, then hope I get good at it. I'll probably just stick to being a soldier, but I might be a "multi-task" man.
