As much as Battlefield 4 is capable of providing you with a kind of adrenaline fix, it also provides a dissimilar perspective for players who wish for a gameplay that is more strategic. The recent launch of the Commander app offers users or their friends the opportunity to utilize the capabilities of a Commander. Essentially, the idea is for the Commander to use brains over brawn in battle once they have rallied their troops.
Commander Mode in Battlefield 4 allows a different player not in the team. This is over and above the maximum number of players allowed. Instead of the usual FPS (first-person shooter) view in the game, a Commander has the ability to view scenes from a more RTS (real-time strategy) point of view. The option enables a player to plan a better strategy.
Since the Commander is capable of seeing high-value targets and opposing commander actions, he / she has the ability to give his troops valuable information. In short, players can gain the upper hand when using the Commander mode due to the fact that he / she has a better tactical overview of any situation on the ground.
Players using Commanders can jump in during any game using the Battlefield 4 app Commander designed for Android from a mobile device. It lets a player use a Commander to handle various duties such as sending supplies and vehicles in aid of their teammates, air strikes or call in UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles). Commanders can also communicate using VoIP (voice over internet protocol) on platforms that support the same. All these can be done from the comfort of an Android device. It comes fully loaded with touch optimized gestures and controls.
Google Play Store offers the Commander app for free. However, it requires players to own the game on any platforms that it is supported. Also free and available on the Google Play Store is the companion app that can be used in conjunction with the Battlelog app.
