People keep mocking the Commando, but one day, they'll look back and say "Damn. That's a nice suit."
Long live the Commando!

Just some tips, avoid 1 v 1 situations and always make sure there is 3 blues between you and a redberry :p
Kidding me?
It's ideal for me to get people into 1v1s, especially in open grounds. I know we all run the Commando differently, but I have to object to a few things ever now and then. I run the standard SCR and RR. My specialty with the Commando is mid range. As long as I avoid close quarters (spare for when in enclosed spaces, since that is where I get my real jollies from with the RR oddly enough) and those goddamn snipers. Only problem with my A-I is that it is a standard, which means it has no slots, which means it cannot rep itself or use a damage mod. My advanced and prototype do though, which makes it unforgiving to use with the specialized SCR and an advanced RR. Especially the SCR, since I am prof'd in it (unlike RR). I carry nanohives with me.
Sidestepping a bit...
Some solid advice for the use of the Commando is to adapt it into a playstyle that you enjoy or are good at. For example, my medium frames are close to mid, but my scouts are close or long (which is a bit of a gruff at times). Heavies (outside of the Commando) are like my scouts, depending on FG or HMG. I like my A-I. It's the second manliest suit in the game. No highs, no lows. Fit for survival without modules.
What's the manliest suit, you ask?
Minmatar Scout. srsly. o7 to them.

When I said avoid 1 v 1 I meant it as in, avoid 1 v 1 with proto bears, you'll get destroyed, you have a large hitbox, and your slow, so you will need to be packing a gallente AR or shotgun do deal with this CQC situations, it is partially my preference to avoid CQC situations so I equip a rr and AR.
I don't like using my Plasma Rifle. Sharpshooter IV, Prof. IV, Rapid Reload III, and I forgot what optimization I have. (II, I believe.) I prefer not using my prototype gear. I really don't, even on the Commando. It's really situational about whether you can or cannot engage high end gear users. I have this... habit of stalking people. I don't like engaging head on unless I'm moving in to soak some damage up for my allies. (Seriously, I step in front of people when I think they're taking too much damage. Old logibro habit.)
SCR, though not as strongly invested in as the Plasma Rifle, allows me to break down shield users easily, whereas the RR will allow me to pop the armor tankers. I will never engage (on my own) unless I know the number of enemies, their suit types, and their general locations. I've played for so long that it's just a glance to know their weapon and suit. Just have to keep in mind that if I can see them, it's possible that they see me.
I used to scout a lot, so I apply quite a bit of knowledge from it to my Commando, knowing I cannot engage in overwhelming odds. I also was a heavy for the longest time, so I have the feel for the sluggishness and size. In short, I play like a bastard. I will feed blues to the reds to get around to a better spot or to get out of enemy optimals.
My experience and use of the Commando may be vastly different to (for example) you, so results will vary between us. I'm not saying your way is wrong- it may be preferred to the upcoming Commandos. In retrospect, a fellow jack of all trades may find my way more appropriate. Then again, they may do something radically different. (For a while, I ran dual Plasma Cannon. It was hilarious. I don't think the Gunnlogis thought it were though.)
