The return of Commander Mode to Battlefield 4 was a pretty cool reveal the other day at EA’s E3 2013 press briefing. The part of the feature that’s getting us revved up is the fact that players will be able to offload their duties as Commander to a mobile device. Just as if you were in-game, Commanders with a tablet or phone can gather intel, order air strikes, and coordinate positions.
We didn’t get see much of this interactivity in action at the briefing since it mainly focused on the insanity that is the game’s 64-man multiplayer, but the following video does a good job breaking it down:
Of note, Commander Mode on a tablet or phone talks directly to game servers. Also, this isn’t just a Xbox One SmartGlass thing — this interactivity works with PC and PS4, too. I think the future is here, guys.
