Great news for all PC fans out there: the much requested Commo Rose command interface will be returning to Battlefield 3, as DICE’s Karl Magnus Troedsson has just confirmed in an interview at GamesCom in Germany (and via Twtter). Troedsson said that Commo Rose will return to Battlefield 3, but won’t be in the version showcased at GamesCom.
Commo Rose was one of the most wanted features from Battlefield fans, and it’s wonderful news to know that it’ll be returning in Battlefield 3.
Stay tuned for more news and updates from GamesCom!


BF3 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
So by their phrasing, are they confirming that the console version WON’T have a commo rose?
…crap.
Which isn’t to diminish the awesomeness of this news. Hooray, commo rose! Good to see them listening to fan requests.
No…they are saying that commo rose won’t be on gamescom demo, I’m still waiting for confirmation for consoles
How would it work on consoles???They only have but so many buttons…Although it would be cool if they found out how
They’re obviously going to have a Spot button on consoles, no reason they couldn’t convert that into a commo rose button.
I would imagine that IF it were on consoles, you would hold ‘down’ or something on the d-pad or select/back and instead of aiming the left stick would move around the commo-rose and jump would select, or it would auto select whichever you were on once down/select/back is released.
All they need is one button to raise the rose then you choose with a joystick. What button I dont know.Great news though, Im not a PC player and Im happy to hear about that.
Heard about “spot button” ?
If there’s going to be CommoRose for consoles it is going to be replacing the select button aka. “spot button”
“How would it work on consoles???They only have but so many buttons…Although it would be cool if they found out how”
Eh, commorose doesn’t need more than 1 button, just like the social button in BC2.
Accually it would be easier on the consoles if they add it to them.
Think about it, a button opens up the menu and the stick go around the wheel. Don’t forget that the knife and grenades now need to be equipped to be used so some buttons are free now. It’ll be very easy and I think the console players will like it alot.
As a matter of fact if they do add it, I’ll seriously consider getting the game for my ps3 as well.
It’s on consoles too it just wasn’t confirmed when they wrote the article I guess
Good stuff.
All praise DICE the creator, the creator of the most beautiful game the universe has ever seen.
point,aim select, thats the ps3 version,today i signed off my job since i cant work there anymore because i’ll be in Libya, another thing is they sent me a letter assuring that i want to do this since earlier this month that helicopter was shot down by taliban,so much for that 200 million they spent to make it.
Hope they remove 3d spotting aswell
It was the most requested thing in the alpha.
I don’t think they’ve removed it, but I’ve heard through the grapevine that it’s been heavily tweaked. It was apparently pretty broken in the Alpha, but now it’s been nerfed significantly.
But that’s just second-hand info, I don’t know how reliable it is.
i believe for the softcore version of bf3 if you spot an enemy you we need unubstructed line of sight.
That’s what I’ve been hearing as well, plus if you lose line of sight on the enemy the spot vanishes (or according to some, just displays their last known location).
But I’m taking all that with a grain of salt and waiting till the full release to see how they do it.
Why you want that to be removed?
If you had been in the alpha you would have understood why people are mad at 3D spotting. It was very overpowered. You could just press q at any time and spot 3 people. And you cannot seek cover when it can be destroyed.
listen can. dude if you cant play bf3 on hardcore then get out of the way and let a true bf player have a turn. long live bf3!
Because it turns “Battlefield” to “Press-Q-and-shoot-the-orange-triangles: The game”.
No, seriously, it eliminates using camouflage and concealment. Wallhacks, basically.
I have seen God. It’s name is DICE.
clearly: NO!
Fuck yeah!
YES FUCKING VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AMEN!!!!!
I SECOND THAT NOTION!!!!
good for dice.
FUCKING HELL OMG I LOVE YOU DICE, I REALLY DO! WILL YOU MARRY ME?!!?!??!?
“Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative. Negative.”
it must be happen in BF3 for sure , lol!
ENEMY BOAT SPOTTED

Fun times.
OMG!! YES!!! FINALLY SOMETHING GREAT FOR THE PC FANS!!!
So no comrose for console? GD…
It’s not even like it would be that hard to do. It’s just a radial menu, plenty of console games have done those successfully.
They haven’t revealed whether it’s PC-only or if it’ll be available on consoles. Technically, there’s nothing that prevents it from being on consoles.
Mifune ftw
Ofcourse, a Commander would be nice… :> Nah Im already pleased with the Commorose! Let the teamwork begin! No more being a sniper, seeing all enemies trough your high-zoom scope, smashing Q and not spotting them. Very frustrating….
HELL FUCKIN’ YEAH !!! YOU MADE MY FUCKIN’ DAY !!! THANKS DICE FOR THE COMMO ROSE AND BF3BLOG FOR THE NEWS. YOU ARE FUCKIN’ AWESOME. I’M GONNA GET DRUNK NOW. ALL HAIL THE COMMO ROSE !!!
I really hope they remake BF3 for the new consoles (PS4 & w/e the new xbox will be) So we can have 64 players too.
ooor… you can buy a PC
If BF3 is going to be better than BC2, *which it will be* 24 players is plenty. Most of the fun i’ve ever had playing battlefield was on 24 player games, even on BF2, strike at karkand was insane with 24! 32 didn’t even seem like that big of a change to me. You’ll have fun, don’t you worry!
Oh granted it will be the best game i ever played no matter what i play it on. But i just see the map Caspian Border to make everyone go into vehicles and there wont be any soldiers. Thats just what im worried about it. Eh w/e like i said it will be the best game i’ve ever played
And it is true thr most fun i’ve ever had is with 24 as well, and being the BFBC2 is my fav game i believe dice will pull it off somehow. Thx for e reassurance skrillex
the maps will be a bit smaller than those on the pc, to accomodate the number of players, and i think the number of vehicles on the map will be also smaller for the same reason.

This exactly.
Now if they’d subtitle the dialogue that comes from the commo rose, then I’ll be completely satisfied.
Yes, that means I’m a deaf gamer. Thank you very much.
i’m pretty sure they will subtitle it. are you really deaf, or you just mean you don’t hear chatter very good ? if so i’m sorry.
And some of the more important automated chatter along with it. I can’t understand half of what comes over that stupid radio.
…god, I’d get shot so fast in an actual war. D=
All, and I mean EVERY SINGLE voice command had a text line appearing in text chat. Even if for automatic messages like “Medkit here!”. The only exception was commander messages, they appeared in the killfeed (example “UAV on the way” or “Artillery destroyed: can’t give fire support”).
^In Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142.
YES YES YES YES YES YES
YES YES YES YES YES YES…… and so on.
HEY I NEED A PICK UP
HEY I NEED A PICK UP

COMO ROSE?? …. FUCK YYYEEEEESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And who give you an UAV ?
thank you DICE so much!!! :’)
This is definately the sucessor to BF2.
I hope they have Commo Rose for consols as well. I mean theres nothing really stopping the consols from having it, all they need to do is move the scoreboard to the pause menu then make it to where pressing back/select does your spotting and holding it down will bring up Commo Rose commands.
And the fact that both gamepads have TWO thumbsticks that can rotate 360 degrees they can do it like on PC: take the button and use the thumbstick to choose and some other thing (pressing the stick f. e.) to choose the voice command.
they DID say that the Commo Rose was confirmed for battlefield 3, and they didn´t say anything about not being for console, it was just good news for the PC players who wanted it back from earlier battlefield games console players haven´t been able to play.
THANK YOU DICE! I LOVE YOU!
