To be honest this seems very much like Battlelog as it already exists, which is no bad thing. I've probably spent 100 hours or more looking at Battlelog between BF3 sessions, checking out what unlocks I can work towards, looking at game stats and leaderboards and of course setting up my classes prior to an evening session.
I'm still not overly convinced on the commander mode addition to the game, they're going to allow you to play this whilst on the move which will inevitably lead to many people starting a session as commander, then hitting a black spot and getting disconnected or their connection being so slow that it's anything but real time (i'm think EE here with their fantastic 100mbps connection that's rarely available to anyone). Or people playing at work and their bosses coming over and them having to leave it alone.
The geo-scoreboard thing could be interesting, but I don't think it'll really add much to the game, though I suppose you may find some people in your town who are playing and be able to hook up with them, depending of course how it determines your location....my internet location reports as London as I skip local exchanges in favour of a direct fibre pipe to London.
Excited about the game but these features don't really bring anything to the table other than Battlelog being usable on machines that aren't running high resolution displays (currently battlelog is complete crap on anything less than a high res screen because of the locked sizes of some of the menus meaning everything is off screen without a scroll bar).
