With biotec upgrades you can punch someone so hard you drive them into the dirt like a stake

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't commandos traveling light with special equipment?

I'd say a commando should be based on the Logi class, or at least the medium frame. Like two weapons and 2 equipment but low base stats (lower than logi), less modules (like a scout) and a little bit slower with a low scan profile (if that mechanic ever gets implemented correctly).

So that it's low profile for infiltrating and versatile because of the two weapons.

Yeah, I noticed they have like 240 melee damage... Too bad the std suit has no mod slots

I right now love the commando as a support class like Iron Wolf said.

Mass Driver + Scrambler is the way to go, or some other combination of one-two punch. Works best with a squad, as you can support long range and close range. You can even run with a repair tool or injector and support your team further!

Other combos I like:
Mass Driver + Mass Driver
Scrambler + Assault Scrambler (tactical and standard AR works too)
Plasma Cannon + Mass Driver
Assault Rifle + Shotgun

The secret to success is to use both weapons to their full potential. For instance, The scrambler does 20% more damage to shields, and the mass driver does 20% more damage to armor. The downside to these weapons is that they are only efffective vs one type of health, whereas using them in combination means you are doing 120% damage all the time.

Play this class similar to a two handed warrior class. You don't have much health so you have to rely on your damage to take players out before they can take you out. Also, you don't have that much health, and it's even worse that you move slow too.

Like, it's an even worse version of the basic heavy suit. I dunno, I just don't see how it's useful... If someone could explain it, that would be awesome.

Also, this is probably the biggest derp idea, but I'm thinking i'm gunna be a repping commando, just for ***** and giggles.

Yeah, tell that to Arnold Schwarzenegger.

He killed a small country by himself to rescue Alyssa Milano.

I'm going to skill into it because I'm getting a bit bored :P lol

Front lines are a meat grinder total waste of a person with that that high of a specialized skill.,

No matter! At least 3-quarters of our player base are stupid enough to jump into the meat grinder!

with a melee dmg base of 240 you can get commando suits to OHK people with melee only, the two light weapon slots are to take your attention away from this.

Um the bonus it gets... Reload bonus and i forgot the other bonus

I actually died to a commando yesterday - saw a heavy with a shotgun, so I backed up a bit and lined up my pistol only for him to switch to a scrambler rifle and smash me in a second. I shall no longer presume a heavy without a heavy weapon is an easy kill that requires the least possible effort.

I once went 17/6 as a commando in an ambush. It's a perfectly viable suit, but you need to know how to play it correctly.

The Commandont is a joke. As a true heavy I see them as an easy 50 points. They need more slots early in there progress and more speed. Also lower the cost.

Standard should have 2 high 1 lows

Advanced 2 highs 2 lows

Proto 3 Highs 2 Lows



Heavy should be 6.0 Speed

Commandont should be 6.5

Assault should be 7.0

Scout 8.0

I know the scouts fast who would have thunk it. The scout has to be fast because it sacrifices its armor for speed. Just a thought.

IMO, The commando would've been much better off as a scout suit. Anyone who has black eagle scout suits should know what I mean.

Low survivability, low slot count, but fast as hell.

Heavies just get too many downsides as a whole, and then taking away their slots and heavy weapon is way more drawbacks than required to justify the pretty cool bonus of having two light weapons.

I've been playing commando a LOT for the past few weeks.
Testing it you might say.

The suit is FUN. Thats why i use it because it STILL SUCKS.

I play solo all the time and sometimes even with 2 drop uplink blues prefer to just sit in the MCC. The AScr and Mass driver combination works very well.But then again this is the 2 light weapons talking, not the suit working....

The 2nd one is for open maps and when there is the need for a push. Im pretty decent with the Burst AR, and in case i see a vehicle ,swarms away.

The 3rd is for the typical (1 every 2 games) we got proto stomped by a clan.
When half the team is sitting at the mcc , and the other half is dying / sniping , i take this one out.
This is by far the only loadout that works very well for the commando. At level 4 passives i have 600 total HP,that is NOTHING for frontline operations,but for a sniper is enough. Having nanohives lets me camp an area for a LONG period of time.The Adv Swarms let me take out derpships and scare away vehicles. The High Melee damage of the suit is my only defense in CQ thou...

I know everyone keeps saying swarms are good with it, but basically what you're doing is putting swarms there instead of AV nades. I mean, unless you're running advanced or proto swarms, the absense of damage mods kind-of makes using swarms pointless on this suit..

but that's just what I think. I mean if I was going to use swarms, it would be swarms and plasma cannon, or swarms and more swarms XD
