How about the commanders do 50% less damage with their weapons in commandermode than they would in other gamemode so that charing bots would be more dangerous.
Im sorry, im totally spitballing here, I like the mode, I get why commanders not fighting is the best move, but I really want bit more action is all.... Watching bots fight in melee in M&B is not much of a spectacle. I dunno, mybe its just me being an unintelligent oaf.
