Wish they would though, BUT in game in the Devhangout chat room CCP Saberwing commented saying that he could not really vouch for commandos, for he does not play them, he said he did not like playing as a heavy

Yeah I was the one who brought it up. One day in that chat we should force a Dev to skill into Commando and run a few games with us. Get a first hand experience of the "joys" of running Commando.

Can I be a full-time Logi for you Command'ohs?
I will carry 3 sets of Nanohives (at least one Repper type) and a Needle.
I'll do this until I get at least the Advanced Command'oh then I'll join in on the fun.

I keep on missing you guys. ULTIMATE SAD FACE.
srsly, I run early morning UK time until my days off, then I might be able to catch you. Until then, let me give you all some insight into my experiences as a commando.
The most important point is that it's flexibility is both the best and worst thing about it. On the one hand, you are a true wild card of a suit. I run everything from laser rifles and shotguns to plasma cannons and combat rifle combos, and in that respect a commando is King of choosing his engagement type, if not his engagement range. On the flip side, the sheer amount of sp required to make the suit even remotely viable (let's urr stay away from the word "competitive" for a bit hehe) is astronomical; I'm at 5.5mil, and I can use the commando and nothing else. I have one weapon maxed to 5, everything else is all over the place. A lack of focus on my part, to be sure, but it's an easy pitfall with this suit, because it molds itself around your play style more than any other. I've tried a little bit of everything and found that most of it can work. But the core skills you need to get that suit up and running are crazy. Shields, armour, engineering; get it all to four at the bare minimum. You'll need it.
As mentioned in an earlier post, find your favourite play style and wrap the suit around it with your weapon choices. My gun game is average at best, but I have a head for trajectories and timing and primal need to make **** explode quite spectacularly, so I run a PLC and combat rifle on a cheap standard suit. Most importantly though are the uplinks; I can fit an advanced one on a standard frame and use them with intent. They are weapon in of themselves, and my commando takes on the role of shaping an assault by flanking with uplinks and harassing vehicles away from my blueberries. I'm not afraid to go CQC but I always aim to have the drop on my enemy when I do. Play a commando? Use your brain, it's a hell of a module.
I'd post more but I need to test something first in game :)
Dedicated Commando.
So it's a good job KDR doesn't bother me, really.

I have 13.5 mil sp and my commando suit is still barely viable on the battlefield, wether it's lack of tactics or lack of slots (hint hint.....ccp that's your cue to buff it) there are those times were I'm just simply out gunned by a medium frame. The commando does work (the OP is a testament to this) but it requires a drastically different play style in order to become effective. I started this game as an assault, wasn't very good so went logi. Logi carried me to sniper, sniper to assault logi for a few weeks, then back to assault. Then I tried commando, mixed it with my assault tactics and sniper tactics. BAM!!!! It was a good fit. Now I run shotgun assault and made commando fits that are CQC powerhouses. I went 29/3 with a basic commando, toxin AR and basic shotgun and flux scanner. This shows that yes it is viable, but there has to be very specific situations for it to be viable. With more slots, it can be more effective in many more situations.
Please follow the link in the OP and get ccp to buff the commando!!!!

o-o If they're trying to keep modules low for the Commandos, can't they just buff the passives?
Like,
the STD Amarr Commando would have as much armor as a ADV Gallente Assault in a tanking fit(500+) with some reps(6 Armor per second) and built in damage mods(3% boost)?
It's inflexibility and high cost make it not spammable but it's still very viable on the field when used correctly.

And for the first time there has been 2 proto commandos in one match!!!! Also for the first time a squad of 6 commandos has won 3/3 matches they played in!!!! Each commando made a minimum of 900 WP each match. A total of 6 OBs was dropped over the course of those 3 matches. Let this be a testament that the commando is a viable unit on the battlefield!!!!! The glorious members that were a part of this near impossible undertaking are: Mini Rehak (as squad leader) Aero Yassavi Wurm food T'orq (on his alt, Thanjac) Fire Of Prometheus Pyrotechninja CCP, US COMMANDOS WILL NEVER BACK DOWN!!!!! EDIT: I forgot to add that we won 2/3 matches by outcloning the other team EDIT#2: if you want in on the action (provided everyone is still on) then go to the channel "commando squadron"
Commandos are awsome they just need more slots or more hp

Personally, I like the +5% reload speed for weapons, it's a good bonus, but I would gladly swap it for an armour repair (like the logi bonus). It needs a better shield recharge rate first and foremost. 10hp/sec is despicable....especially for a heavy suit.
My proto commando (403 shields) takes 40 seconds to go from 0 shields to full.
My adv amarr logi, can go from 0 armour to 450 armour in 44 seconds. Do you see the problem(directed at ccp, not Roy)?
