Idea For Commander Selection

[The Middleman]

My idea for how commanders are selected is that there should be a training/offline practice mode where players can test their ability as a commander. Commanders in online matches would be chosen by a random selection between the 3 people with the highest offline record.

Thoughts?
Ideas?
Hatred/mockery of the idea?

you post a new thread right after i inquire about commander selection?

yeh this would be a good idea, i for one am very anxious when playing a comm in these kinds of games, its not very enjoyable when the team blames you for losing when you were a bit confused...
Practice mode for commanding is good, in another thread interwave stated they would possibly add AI packs, so this could work well, then new coms get comfy enough to play normally.

as for online scoring being the decider for com selection, it doesn't really mean they will be a good comm, but i suppose it could work

A good FPS player a good RTS player does not make, so while the decent score causing placement of RTS commander may SOUND good in practice there is a flaw, plus the possibility this player just doesn't want to.
