Dear CCP,
Jakkal Shoobah, dedicated gallente commando/assault, here and I have a few things to say. GIVE ME MY DAMN GRENADES CCP !!! I can't even begin to fathom who the **** decided that commandos did not deserve grenades. EVERY other suit has grenades. From the mighty sentinel to the puny scout grenades are a standard. STANDARD. I bet that even the non-existent pilot suits would have grenades. Other suits have their own tactical strengths and weaknesses which are perfectly complemented by grenades; breaching rooms, breaking up large masses,simple distractions, and fluxing those shield tanking caldaris are all examples of situations in which grenades can make or break you. I cannot understand why the most offensively diverse suit in the game does not have simple grenades. Is it due to physical limitations ? ( Are grenades simply too heavy for a duel-wielding, armor baring killing machine ?) Would it be too OP ? ( Give a fat clone an HMG and grenades but that is not OP). I cannot think of a logical reason why an army or faction or whatever you wanna call it would arm every other suit with grenades and then be like " Oh Commandos, we're sorry but we ran out of grenades for you. So just go on out there. You can fit a mass driver and another gun anyway." WHAT IF I DON'T ******* LIKE THE MASS DRIVER. DID YOU EVER CONSIDER THAT! HUH ?!?!?! I am tired of falling back without a grenade to help hold off the enemy for that extra second to find more cover. I'm tired of having to charge people sitting behind cover because I can't outmaneuver them fast enough or make them move with any light weapon (excluding the mass driver and plasma cannon). I'm tired of being ******* paranoid of scouts in close quarters ( Seriously that is some PTSD **** for commandos). What is the solution to all these problems you ask? Not the mass driver( Although it can solve these issues very easily, I prefer two rifles. These situations don't occur often enough that I need a damn noob tube with hives). Run an assault suit you say. I do as a matter of fact, but only in situations when mobility and survive-ability is paramount and not sustained firepower wherever I decide to look.
CCP, I'm not asking you to fix the game as a whole because it is a wonderful work of art (although frustrating at times) in progress. I'm simply asking you on behalf of all the commandos out there to please include grenades as an option at least for commandos. You can make them cost twice as much PG and CPU than they do for any other suit for all I care. Just please include them on the next hotfix.
Sincerely,
Jakkal "Jammal" Shoobah |

Zug, I just haven't had my fix of cigs or weed or Dust. And I needed to vent/rant in a uh productive way. i don't fall back, but if I had nades I would. Well no. I'd still charge blindly with my balls to the wall except I'd be following a grenades explosion.
HK MaxiRecon, I've used that before. Only good if you can use that mass driver well or if you are up high. I'm sure you know that.
Skullmasher, HELL YES. I can't tell you how many tanks have been hit by my plasma cannon with minimal health left that run away faster than I can reload and aim accurately. A simple packed av grenade would do the trick.
Shaman , you're probably very right. The commando fitted well can almost be a invincible god with a little logi support in the right places, but other suits have the CQC advantage. That is where grenades come in ( in my opinion). |

Derpty, its not that grenades are essential to a commandos survival. A good commando knows that they lack grenades and plays accordingly. When I went from assault to commando I'd find myself tapping the grenade button ( Not Anymore). I know there are alternatives to grenades, but I can't understand why we commandos must seek alternative explosives . You ever walk into the meatgrinder supply depot ( dom with alfa in the ring that people love to sit up on) and find 40 nanohives and links while you have say a rifle and a shotty. Well, i think is sucks balls to have to aim and shoot each piece of equipment individually. |

That sounds wonderful Shinobi. College is tough in the beginning when you don't have connections to all the "cool" kids. I got some cash, just no green and nowhere to acquire it . The campus is " smoke-free". For real whats up with all these health concerns and ****. Oh second hand smoke kills. Bich hold your breath when you pass by a smoker.

Apothecary, i strongly disagree with you. The new assault buff has made assault suit that can tank just as much as commandos (even more), but that is just another challenge. The commando is the inbetween of a fatty and assault. They can hold or assault in a limited fashion. They can't obliterate anyone that is near their position they are holding, but they can damn well shoot the **** out of em before they even get close. They can't assault as fast as assault suit, but a commando walks into a room with a shotty and rifle and they will ruin your day ( sometimes). They are faster than fatties and slower than assaults which I find to be the perfect speed. Not to fast that you rush to your death and not too slow so that you can't put some distance between you and a tank.
And I believe what your suggesting already exists. The black eagle scout i think ???
