On PC, you can log into the Battlefield 4 Battlelog online and change your loadout from there. I'm not sure if you can with Xbox 1 or PS4.
And on PC, there is something somewhere where it automatically tries to put you in a squad with your friends. It's on by default. I assume it's the same on consoles.
Via Battle Field app on phone and tablets.....or by clicking on join as commander on PC. NO idea about consoles.
You can on consoles from the in-game pause menu. Not many Android apps support Commander right now, my Note 3 wont open it. Note 3! How much more power is there?
You have to be at least a level 10 and then you go into the game servers and there is an option to join in commander mode.
Holy crap! If you haven't already done so, do yourself a favor and unlock the MTAR-21 as soon as possible (requires China Rising)... it is amazing. To unlock it simply... Get a kill with an Assault Rifle Get a kill with a Light Machine Gun Get a kill with a Sniper Rifle Get a kill with kill with a grenade All in ONE round. Easiest way? Get on a 600 ticket 64-man server on Operation Cluster****. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/f8wlZtft6lI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Haven't played this game in a while... Mainly because none of my friends have it. If anybody plays on PS3 add me FTG_FSU
