Again IGN was able to get its paws into the upcoming shooter game from DICE Battlefield 2.

The Commander is a really important member of the team and truly will be the leader of a combined force for those willing to play the game as a team. He or she has several abilities to help out the team. Firstly, they get to view the battlefield from a top down persepctive and they know where all the squads are at all times. He/she can watch the map, scan for enemy locations and let squad leaders know where to go and what to look for. Squad leaders can then disseminate that information to their respective squad.

Right about now I hate IGN grrrr I want BF2 now now now, ah well only 5 or so weeks to go I suppose.
