Hey everyone,

I’ve been thinking — what if Battlefield 6 brought back a real Commander mode like in Battlefield 2, but with modern features and deeper squad coordination? And on top of that, what if we had ranked Conquest with 5-man squads for the more competitive players?

Commander System

• Command Structure:
  • The Commander communicates directly with Squad Leaders, giving them objectives.
  • Squad Leaders pass these orders down to their squad members.
  • Completing assigned orders gives bonus XP to both the Squad Leader and their squad.
• Tactical Map Control:
  • The Commander can draw lines and mark zones on the map (e.g., “Hold this defensive line” or “Push this route”).
  • Can ping enemy armor, mark air threats, and set rally points.
• Support Requests:
  • Call for air support from jets or helicopters flown by teammates.
  • Request artillery strikes or mortar fire.
  • Deploy supply drops with ammo, armor, or vehicles.
• Extra Abilities:

  • Drones for recon and spotting.

  • Electronic Warfare to jam UAVs and disrupt enemy spotting.

  • Dynamic Objectives with time limits for bonus rewards.

Ranked Conquest with 5-Man Squads

• Squads are increased from 4 to 5 players, making coordination more impactful.
• Ranked mode would use the Commander system for proper team structure.
• Serious players could queue here to avoid the “random chaos” of casual Conquest.
• Ranked rewards could be purely cosmetic (weapon skins, badges, banners) so it’s competitive without becoming pay-to-win.

Why This Could Work

• Creates a chain of command: Commander → Squad Leaders → Squads.
• Encourages teamwork and strategy over lone-wolf chaos.
• Gives competitive players a mode where every move matters.
• Still keeps casual Conquest for those who just want to hop in and have fun.

Personally, I think this would make Conquest feel like an actual military operation rather than a giant deathmatch. Competitive players get their space, casuals keep their sandbox — everyone wins.

What do you think? Would you play Ranked Conquest with a Commander system, or do you prefer Battlefield to stay fully casual?
