Not much of an infantryman myself, I'm making this thread for tin foil hat speculation on the upcoming Commando suit.
Two light weapon slots'll make this a very versatile suit, but I'm hoping that it gives up considerable tank in order to acheive this versatility. Swarm / Cannon for both close and far AV, or AR / Sniper for taking an objective, then laying shots across the field for the next objective would be pretty cool shtuffsh. |

This concept alone makes me very happy.
I'm just hoping that it's balanced with some downside. Kinda hoping for a glass cannon, but there could be other faults that would be partially remedied with further Commando skilling (like reduced ammo capacity, -50% base, +5% per level). |

Damn this would be useless for me.
Well, it would be pretty bad like that, but I was just throwing out an example, not really what I'm hoping for. Some kind of fault that would partially be recompensed through further suit skilling. |

Definetly should sacrifice the equipment slot. Otherwise we'd see groups of snipeswarmers load into dropships, park on a tower, and just go nuts on anything that moves, lives, and breathes xD |

If I were to use this suit I would need a supply depot... Oh and less CPU and PG. I think that would help. Also maybe a bit slower (Since it's a heavy suit after all)
A friendly Logi could help you with that too :D |

Well, what do you think should be sacrificed for dual light weapon slots? |

This didn't even occur to me. Light weapons take up a good chunk of resources, god knows how limiting the fitting options will be with two of those things. |

Please leave comment if you agree.
Thanks
Nice try. Another PS2 video.
How's GU11? Enjoying the melting GPU's / garbage framerates / client crashes?
In any case, thanks for the free bump. |
