'C' is the default key to access the command circuit.

The Command Circuit icons give you control over what you want to see on the Command Map. Clicking any of the blue icons at the top will cause the relevant section on the right menu to be shown / hidden from view.

For example - if you're interested in only seeing where your team's deployed equipment is located, you can click each of the blue icons to hide all the information. But you can keep the deployed support and deployed assets selected so they will be the only two items listed on the right.

The green icons are to control the map itself. The camera option, when activated, will display a small camera in the bottom right of the screen (useful to keep an eye on yourself).

All base turrets and deployed turrets can be controlled via the Command Circuit. First click on a turret on the right menu (this will highlight it on the map). Then press the button next to it - your view will switch to the turret's view and you'll be able to take control. Deployed Cameras are controlled in the same way.

You can see everyone who's within sensor / radar range. This radar range is indicated by the circles, (note how the sensor in the image on the left is blocked by the mountains). Anything coloured green within a sensor is on your team and anything red is on the enemy's. Captured objectives also turn green so you can easily tell where friendly areas are.

Each player is represented by a model which has an arrow pointing in the direction the player is moving / facing. Don't forget, whilst you're using the Command Circuit you can still move using your movement keys, and you'll see yourself move on the map, although it's probably a good idea not stay in this view for too long, because the enemy can see you and you won't be able to see them coming! The health status of each of your team mates and items are displayed via colours: Green = 100-50%, Yellow = 50-25%, Red = 25-0%. This can give you some idea of where to go to repair items, for example when your team's generators are taken offline.

One of the most useful command features is the ability to issue commands. Right clicking on the map will bring up the menu shown left. For example, say you want to use the 'Meet (at)' command. Once selected a point will appear on the map (as shown left). Also in the chat window the message: Team: Meet at Location will be displayed.

Now any player pressing the 'N' key will see a list of current commands appear on their screen, and your 'meet at location' command will be listed. If a player selects it, a green square appears to him in the game which he can move towards to 'meet at your location'. At this point, players can press ENTER to accept the command or BACKSPACE key to 'decline'. Or they can use the command circuit map, right click on the command you issued and accept / decline it that way.

Have a play with this and you'll see it has its uses. Just don't expect everyone to follow your commands! Most players will ignore them or be busy with other things.

Other commands you can use right clicking on:

• Team mate: Where you'll have the option to select 'escort', and 'repair'.

• An item of base equipment: You'll have options to select 'repair', and 'defend'.

• Enemy player: This will give you the 'attack' command option.
