Totally brainstorming with this so don't crucify me please.
What if we swapped out one light weapon for the ability to use a heavy weapon? It is considered a heavy suit after all, so why not allow it the ability to use heavy weapons? This would give the Commando access to the entire gamut of weapons ( since you can put light in a heavy and can put a sidearm in a light). In other words, this would give the commando ultimate flexibility in fittings. It still won't have the HP of the Sentinel but it will be a little quicker, and will have more HP than an Assault or Scout but will be larger and slower.
Using an HMG to engage scouts/assaults etc. would be a viable option. A commando who got the drop on a Sentinel may even be able to engage sentinels with an HMG. However, this would also allow the ability to match a Forge gun for AV with the service rifle of choice for infantry engagements.
If this was the ONLY change made, do you all believe it would it be considered OP (since I think there is a consensus right now it is not to the level it should be), or would it simply give it the highest versatility while not being the master of any one thing?
The one change that I think needs to be made if this happens is an increase in PG/CPU. It is brutal trying to build a decent fit even on an Advanced Commando.

I'd even be okay without the sidearm and instead the nades AND a second equipment. And the BW to support it.
Nades yes. Even if we only got 1. As for the sidearm, I don't really see the purpose. A sidearm is basically a scaled down light weapon. (unless you want to rock a RR, CR, and a Flaylock to have long range, close range, and a splash weapon). As for equip, I am reluctant just because I don't like every suit on the field trying to play Logi.
If this was considered, we would have to DRAMATICALLY increase CPU / PG because you can't build a decent fit now on a Commando suit.
