Commands

The commands on this page are in English. Stay tuned for commands in other languages (such as German, Spanish and French).

Usage

Commands are issued in the following form:

To select team members:

SUBJECT

or to command them to do something:

SUBJECT - COMMAND

or (depending on the command) to do something to something else:

SUBJECT - COMMAND - DIRECT OBJECT

All of these commands are based off of BI's squad commanding menus. If an action doesn't do anything, it has nothing to do with Articulate. For example, I have no idea what "next waypoint" or "suppressive fire" actually do ingame.
