The Commando role isn't just "heavy with a light weapon," it's "dropsuit with 2 light weapons." They have fewer slots and less total HP, too.
Also, how many of these threads do we need?

I don't know why you decided to phrase the way you did, but yes. I do "say," just like I "say" that water is made of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen.
Of course, if you were trying to link my statement to Mordecai's (who's a different person, despite the same avatar), he apparently thinks that the HMG doesn't count as heavy DPS.

But the whole Commando shtick is using two light weapons, which the Sentinel can't do.
*Anti-Vehicle and Anti-Infantry in one fit (Swarms + RR)
*Close and Long range (Shotgun + RR)
*Sniper and mid-range (Sniper + CR)
The Commando is all about being able to make any combination of two light weapons to cover whatever scenarios you want. It's not about having a rifle and a big HP pool. The assaults can already do that.
Sentinels can only be heavier, slower assault suits. They can't be Commandos.
