Basically because it has everything.
It has a bonus to the best rifle in the game.
It has a bonus to the best light AV in the game.
If not using AV as a secondary, it has access to another good primary that compliments the CR very well.
It has the highest speed of commandos, meaning that unlike most heavy class dropsuits it's not as restrictive.
It has excellent base HP and the regen is pretty decent.
It has a reload bonus - swarms are held back by the reload, the reload bonus helps this immensely.
In terms of base HP it also has more shield HP. While armour is certainly the meta due to the easy stacking of armour plates (You have another thread up about that) 1 shield HP is more valuable than 1 armour HP due to how readily it regens.
EDIT: Out of curiosity, what is the order that commandos come in for frequency of use?

CCP Rattati wrote:Thanks guys, this is been a great source of information. I guess my main take away is the swarm bonus which does make more sense as a caldari and the CR needing a tweak, and a few additional improvements.
Arkena, the current use is
Minmatar
Gallente
Caldari
Amarr
We are going to come back with a holistic view of the next patch and see if we can't fix a few things this round. I will still make a sticky and keep an eye out for additional info.
Thank you.
You noted in the OP that the Minmando was 'by far' the most commonly used. Are there any significant gaps between the others? Do the other three have small usage gaps between them, or are there any other big gaps?
At a guess I'd say that the Amarr is by far the least used, because of the relative difficulty in using weapons with overheat.

All of the commandos are great now, the damage bonus has made them viable even in PC.
Um. Do you play PC?

I think Assault class needs a lot more love than Commandos right now. I'd like to know how many people are skilled into Assault compared to everything else.
I concur.
But to me this thread is about correcting imbalances within the class, not correcting imbalances between the class and others. CCP Rattati has specifically been talking about how frequently they are used compared to each other, not to the other classes.
Although... Rattati, might I ask what the usage order of -all classes- is?
