I saw a proto Commando in a match today.
It felt something like wandering into a game preserve at random, and spotting a unicorn just inside the front gate. I should have taken a picture.
The poor SOB went 2/10 in the match. I wanted to give him a hug... that SP ain't coming back.
Here's the problem with CCP's thinking on Commando:
They think being able to field two Light weapons is way more powerful than being able to field two Sidearms. It isn't. From what I've seen, 2x Flaylocks + AV Grenades > AR + Swarm Launcher. Especially once you consider the large, slow Heavy frame.
The only weapon combo that would be worthy of the severe triple nerf that Commando got would be if it had two Heavy weapon slots.
As it stands, the Commando should have lower base HP or fewer module slots, but not both. And the ISK cost is simply unacceptable. |

That dude was just terrible i ran STD Commandont all day (minus one close match where actual heaving was needed) and never went negative.
1 heavy and 1 light is the only other thing we disagree on, everything else is dead accurate.
I agree he was terrible. I still felt bad for the naive fellow fattie all the same. 
But yes, you are correct. 1 Heavy weapon slot and 1 light weapon slot would probably also be damn powerful. (Forge Gun + AR, yes please.) Was just trying to illustrate some conceivable combo that would justify the severe pre-nerfing that Commandon't received. |

No dual wielding. John Woo was not a fattie, it seems. 
Just to be clear on another comment: I'm not suggesting Commando should be able to field two heavy weapons or a heavy + light weapon. I made the statement to highlight how pre-nerfed the suit is.
I think the basic concept is fine, but that it should have the same number of module slots as every other heavy suit. The way it is, Milita Heavy + AR + Flaylock + AV Grenades trounces proto Commando at any task and in all situations.
And please CCP, if you do nothing else at all, fix that price tag. |
