Commendations should be profile tracked, and used to determine who gets to have key roles.

For example, in the pre game lobby there might be 4 people who want to be command, if they want to they all have to “apply” for it and the game will automatically give it to the most commended player at a certain point of time before the game starts. This came to me when I was thinking of a better way to implement level-locking classes.

This will make teamwork ESPECIALLY important for players who want to play key roles as only another player can commend you, and will also help to ensure that trolls do not

Ideally only certain roles such as squad lead and commander would have this but I’m not entirely opposed to having the same thing implemented for non-riflemen though

The huge flaw with this is that players would simply farm commendations with their friends on empty / private servers

I can imagine something like that for the commander role, maybe, but at least on the PC servers I play this is usually not a problem to begin with.

Definitely not for SLs. And honestly not having a commander is a more likely issue.

Feels like a huge problem on console, maybe there’s a workaround for it but I still feel like it’s a better system than the current one

commendations mean nothing, most veteran player always give their commendations to the lowest level anyways
