 Squad Leaders Can Call in Artillery Since DICE has cut the commander role from BF3, they have decided to bring artillery barrages down to the squad level. Squad Leaders can now call in strikes. There aren't any details yet on which squad leader can call it in, when it can be called in, or how it is called in. I expect other features like supply drops may be trickle down to the squad level in BF3, as well. BF3 Blog has covered this: Toshiro Tanaka wrote: Artillery strikes were last seen in 2006′s Battlefield 2142, where the Commander could call in an artillery strike anywhere on the map. Since there’s no Commander in Battlefield 3, DICE has instead trickled down many of the Commander features to the regular soldier: the UAV is now available to everyone, and there will be an unlockable UAV for the Engineer class as well.
Not only that, according to DICE’s Karl-Magnus Troedsson at the recent Eurogamer Expo, squad leader will have the ability to call in artillery strikes. This is in addition to the unlockable mortar strike, which is available to everyone playing the Engineer class.
While we were disappointed with the lack of a Commander in Battlefield 3, it’s good to see DICE keep many of the assets and spread them out to the squad level. _________________

I wrote about this a while back on my previous clan's website when they announced no commander and I had suggested DICE maybe looking at bring down the capabilities to the squad leader thus giving more people the chance to use them.

Well they have said from the very start that they were bringing the commander down to the squad level so that it could be more accessible to everyone, but had not explained what exactly squad leaders could call in. I generally agree with this concept, but the complete removal of the command system is rather disturbing. This leads me to believe that the tactical display will return, otherwise, how would squads leaders be able to coordinate attacks? _________________

Well I do hope there is some sort of HUD that allows the SL to issue commands etc.
