of an objective whilst on a high point are near impossible to take down if they are both equipped with an Assault MD, Wirykomi Swarms, and Allotek Nanos. They are able to deny anyone from hacking the point while having the firepower to take down any DS whilst sitting comfortably on rep hives.
Aside from sniping and orbitals, what other methods could be used to take these guys out? |

So your problem is that two Commandos, which are the least run dropsuit specialization in the game, are able to actively suppress a point - essentially the very definition of what their role on the battlefield is despite it being underutilized because of an extreme focus on single target attack between the other three commandos.
I really don't see a problem.
Have a suggestion for the Planetary Services Department?

Depending on the height, you can drop a whole squad halo jumping on them (had some guys doing that with me once, pretty impressive), or if lower, just try the frogger approach with MD PLC or remotes... |

Who mentioned anything about having a problem? I'm just curious to know of ways to counter this tactic. Also, this thread was created in response to something I had just done. Another MinMando and myself practically won a Domination game for our team as we wreaked havoc, unopposed. |

Laser rifle or Sniper. Commandos gone.
It's cool y'all ran that Dom the way you are supposed to. It's a surprise the other team didn't pull out a GOOD sniper or alaser though, because that would have been the end of that. Of course, there are like, what, 3 or 4 dozen guys who run laser regularly? So :3 |

Sometimes it's difficult, but if it's a nullcannon roof, you can just hit the nullcannon full speed, that will stop the DS, and you just need to hop out. Going full speed, with hardeners on, they won't pop you before you hit the cannon. A cheap viper with hardener is enough for that.

While I do mostly agree with this, it doesn't fix things that can't be foreseen. Such as that guy who interrupts your duel and kills one of you, ruining the ritual. |

Plasma Cannons and Forge Guns can easily take out any commando, though it's rather difficult if they're the kind with half a lobe who won't stop moving. Two commandos though, especially in comms, aren't likely to be taken down by anything short of a full squad if they've got a good rooftop position.

After reading the replies, I have to admit some ways are indeed viable but are incredibly hard to succeed with.
Take for example the PLC and FG. We encountered an FG user but made quick work of him. Having the height advantage really played in our favor. All we had to do was move back and forth in circles whilst spamming our rounds in the general vicinity of the FG's glow. While he was missing his shots, we were doing damage to him and other nearby reds each time.
Someone else mentioned HALO jumping, but no DS could even get close to us without getting popped. Rail rifles seemed the most effective but constant movement back and forth on our hives made it so we tanked all hits whilst allowing us to dish out our own in return. |

One milita sniper, ignore the commando's, just snipe their hives every time they drop one, watch how quick they run out of them.

You know, if I couldn't kill you with my forgegun and you irritated me enough, I'd just crash a dropship on your face ._.
If you swarm it, so what? I plan on hitting you with 30 tons of flaming hot metal death, then hop out with my proto heavy or one of my other 7 proto suits and finish you off o.o I'm totally suicidal like that and I usually have dumb luck with a bit of skill on my side. Militia dropships are cheap too c;
