Battlefield 4 players who engage in the Commander mode can use their powers to summon different abilities, from missile strikes, to gunships, or even drops containing supplies or vehicles, while guiding troops to objectives or priority targets.

Battlefield 4 is set to make its debut this October, and developer DICE will bring back one of the most highly requested features in the new game – Commander Mode.

The commanders will have a birds-eye view of the battlefield in the online mode and can deploy different things, according to a new statement from DICE over on the official EA website.

"There’s a long list of things you can do as a Commander. From a birds-eye view, Commanders can control various support for their respective teams including cruise missile strikes, gunship, supply and vehicle drops, UAVs and more."

"As your team carries out your orders and captures objectives, more assets are unlocked for use. The Commander can also give you critical intelligence, calling out and pinpointing high value targets (players on a killstreak), and they can guide the troops on the ground to key objectives to win the battle."

Battlefield 4 players will learn more about the game's mechanics as we get closer to release.
