I think it's stupid that wielding light weapons is a commandos speciality and they even give up armor to do so,while regular heavies who have sacrificed nothing can do so.
It's like other suit classes wanting more equipment slots to compete with a logi,a specialised eq suit,its not fair because logis have to sacrifice a sidearm. So "it's not the fat suit it's the weapon" is a lie it's BOTH.
Do you still really not get this? Commando's get 2 light weapons, not one and a sidearm, two. That's their advantage, they get ultimate versatility, and can make some of the most well-rounded specialized suits (such as a sniper or swarm launcher user). They're designed for second wave/suppression tactics. And as I said before (yet strangely no one seemed to respond), this would also mean making it so light weapon slots can't be filled with sidearms. And has been said, yes, a heavy suit gets more HP than a medium suit. The tradeoff is severely limited mobility, less module slots, and no equipment, while getting the plus of being able to wield heavy weapons. They're very well balanced against the other suits presently; if you can't beat one ever at all, maybe you really just do need to change up your tactics a bit.

Rather than accepting they chose a role which limits parts of the game, but they excel in other parts...
The whole issue is, trying to balance classes versus each other will remain broken, until classes become defined. Giving every one the same fire power but letting others have 100's more HP whilst doing so is broken logic, clearly.
I'm afraid you're mistaken. Your argument is entirely based on the HMG, which is not the only heavy weapon. The FG has far greater range, despite not being the greatest at anti-infantry. When the laser heavy weapon comes out, it'll have at least moderate range, and your argument will really have zero merit.
