My question is this.. If a comander can see where the alians are, and can travel around the whole map.. then in a clan match. what stops the clan from using Roger Wilco, and the comander telling the whole clan where the alians are hiding...

Comander: Hes around the left side!

   

Player1: Thx.. i bet they think i wallhacks!

LOL... that's kinda the point, d00d.

The commander can't see where ALL aliens on the map are, but he can see aliens within a certain distance from his marines (I believe so anyway), ones in direct line of sight are revealed to him as well. Commanders are pretty much required to use voice communication, otherwise their job is just too difficult. And yes, their duties include spotting aliens for their team, issuing attack orders, etc. etc.

um... that's kinda exactly why there's a commander... its so he can alert the marines of things ahead and give them support with supplies like ammo and health. if u read the stories in "Tales from the Front Line" Then u'll c why. Theoretically, the commander can access the cameras all over the infested ship/base, so he can "use" those "cameras" to "view" where the aliens are. but he can't c everywhere (that's to my knowledge). but there is a scanner sweep to view stuff far away, far from the marines point of view. so there, i hope that answers ur question

Ok, first, the commander needs to be paying attention to where his marines are, not looking all over the map.

Second, the commander cannot see the aliens unless a marine is there in the first place.

Plus, people respawn regularly, and there are no weapons that shoot through walls (other than the seige turret), so basicly wallhacks are greatly reduced in efficiency, and dang near useless when you research motion tracking.

Also, as far as I know 'knowing' a Fade is behind that door doesnt mean that you can just walk through and kill it.

lol
(Commander):Marine, there's an alien around that corner, take care of it would you?
(Marine):Yes sir!

*marine goes around corner*

: Hmmmmm, maybe i should have thought this through more
