I have BF:BC2, but my internet connection is so bad that it confines me to playing Mass Effect 2 and Men of War.

To answer your questions: There's no commander like there was in previous games, which was a huge let down for me. Its a fun game, but not as tactical as I thought BF 2142 was. And Im sure Veho will rip me on that statement, but I stand by it.

But the gameplay is fun, exciting, and lots of explosions, worth the money. But as Pever said, it fails horrbily in the teamwork department.
