The problem is everyone thinks they should be able to run and gun like an assault with two weapons. It's not meant for that. If you're a cod scrub, I don't recommend the commando. Where they shine is used as a support suit as it was intended. Perched on a building or ledge with swarm launchers, mass driver or something similar. Use it correctly and you'll love it. I had several games last night alone where I went in the neighborhood of 25/2 with my minmando/ MD fitting

I had several games last night alone where I went in the neighborhood of 25/2 with my minmando/ MD fitting Hello Robin, loved you your whole career! I hear what you're saying - and please please I've never played COD and never want to. My moan about the commando is maybe coloured by me going gallente and having fantastic assaults and scouts to chose from. I get the role - but it's coming in way under par. Interesting to see the two posters backing the commando in it's current form are both using minmatar.
I think it's because the minmando has bonuses to the best weapons for the role. Swarms and Md, throw in a combat rifle and the thing is a beast. I think all races should get the swarm bonus personally. Not the md though.

Let's create a scenario. ,1 minmando, 5 min assaults. Now every assault using cr would have not only a larger clip size but 15 percent increased damage and reload speed.

Have most of you even used one?
That damage bonus they get is no joke.
A Galmando will absolutely rip your face off with a damage modded proto Breach or TAR.
A Calmando with a sniper rifle, or the current ARR is sick.
A Minmando shooting snowballs and opening mad suppression with a Six Kin?
Commandos are niche suits. Just like Sentinels. Except their niche is dual-versatility.
A Calmando running a RR and a Swarm Launcher, can adequately protect a group of assaults running across a field from enemy vehicles, and long range threats.
Then you have Forks when he was running a Calmando as a true Overwatch sniper. That was a very specific niche.
What I'm saying is, you don't want Commandos being spammed like Assaults. You don't need them to. They are for players that have very specific niches, or roles of execution in mind.
If anything, buff their damage bonus.
It wouldn't fly in a pc, but in a pub you can have some great lols with a commando spam. We've done it and had a blast.

Min commando
Do you mean more slots or more pg/cpu? Cause I can fit all proto modules on mine with a proto assault md and a bk42 cr with no problem.
