- "Battle Commander makes large scale warfare personal and rewards players for having vendettas."
- ―Senior designer; Brian Holinka told us.
- "It's Homefront's take on the killstreak: perks that empower players that rake in consecutive kills. But there's an important twist: with each "perk" that you receive, you become an increasingly vulnerable target, with the AI assigning personal assassination missions to the opposing team in order to bring you down."
- ―Joystiq opinion on Battle Commander.
Battle Commander is a game mode featured in Homefront.
Overview[]
Battle Commander is a game mode where an AI controlled announcer known as "Battle Commander" marks enemy players who are doing more damage than others which are known in game as a "Priority Threat". The more kills you get, the more your threat level increases. The higher you threat level is, the more enemies will be assigned to kill you. When you reach a new threat level, not only will you get replenished of your resources, the other team will see a bigger and bigger circle forming on your general location. It is related to Grand Theft Auto which sends more lawful forces after you as the stars increase. Players who are marked as a Priority Threat are worth more BP than killing a standard player. With the selected players as bounty hunters.
