NOT saying here that commandos are the s*i*. But people are to quick to judge a dropsuit as bad when not even 24hs have passed.
a suit that at level 4 of passive dropsuit upgrades caries 600 total HP WITHOUT including dropsuit modules... c'mon. PLUS the fact that since HMG are still kind of crappy this will become the new heavy. The OPness of 2 Light weapons is still to be tested by many players.
PLUS YOu get 2 high powered slots, just enough to get 1 complex shield Ext (+90 shields at proto level) and 1 Complex Light weapon damage mod that of course, affects BOTH of your weapons.
AR + SWARMS: Be the assault you've always wanted but with something to fight back vs LAV's,tanks and Dropships. TAC AR + AR: Be the best at both Mid ranges ranges. SNIPER RIFLES + SWARM: Snipe enemy units, bomb enemy vehicles. Nothing you cant kill at a distance. SNIPER + AR: Snipe enemy units and if they get close, you are STILL PACKING 650+HP AND A AR WITH COMPLEX DM MOD XD MASS D + AR: Bomb from afar, nail from mid close. This combinations offers the best for both Support Fire and precise fire. LASER + AR: Pretty much self explanatory. etcetc....
You think you are still slow? Put on a COMPLEX KINETIC CTLZ and run as fast as assaults. Worried that you dont have Armor rep? Use Repair NANO-HIVES, repairing you armor AND restocking your ammo at the same time. This IF the enemy can drill through your 300-470 shields....
The grenade slot is a Shame, but i think the equipment slot is more important in this case.
The only problem im seeing with the commandos is that they ARE a little overpriced...But consideringhow LITTLE you can actually equip on it there by increasing the price, i think around 70k would be fair.
Other than that, lets wait before making a judgment. |

Grenade slot is the thing you have to deal with. It is niche role, and you should not play it if you can't handle missing grenade. Other than that, it is very versatile role and I am loving it so far. |

Commando is the new all around assault?
Logis don't count. They're a tier above everything else. |

I think they are a very good suit. a tier higher than heavies and Scouts but under logis. Maybe the same as assaults.... |

Im gonna be honest, if i wasnt already HALF way through getting my Proto CAL LOGI , i would go COMMANDO.
But since CCP wont give us another RESPEC i wont....
Commandos = adaptability in Weapons dept.
I would probably run : AR + Swarms. SNIPE + SWARMS S.Rifle + Swarms
Sadly ,even with Complex Kinetic C. i dont think commados are suited for shotgun use.... AR + Shotgun would have been godlike... |

Your world is small - expand it a bit. Because in mine if you get in my optimal your trash. And if you get range I'll call my logi-lav and make you feel even more like trash. And if you think swarms is your answer think again - they blow vs shield and I'd of closed the gap before 2 volleys are used.
Commando's blow - their only use in PC will be as starting suits for the AV/AR/Dropup link combo. |

You are judging a suit that 1st, YOU DONT HAVE. 2nd , hasnt been out for more than 24 hrs. 3rd , wow you LOGI LAV like that makes a difference thats so OP tahn not even FG can take them out, i could run your *ss over with the same LOGI LAV, so dont brag about BROKEN STUFF here. 4th. I liek how you call me TRASH sinceyou've never even played against me 5th. I will never get in your optimal, cuz you are gonna be dead by DUVOLLE AR + 2 COMX DM MODS + POF 5 before you even notice im there. |

If people don't try something because of what other people say they are trash. Also commando is trash, hey CCP how about we get the other heavy suits instead of a new class of trash. Plus you are in A.N.O.N.Y.M.O.U.S., so you are trash and so is your opinion. |

I don't get the comparison, but whatever floats your boat bro. How can you not get the comparison? Commando is a heavy that can't use HMG yet has all the draw backs of the suit. AR isn't going to save it from sucking because current AR heavies can't even do it with more mods and health.
And boats SHOULD float.

I look at it this way.
In the vast majority of my matches, I run an advanced basic heavy frame with a Gek AR and my other goodies. I very rarely need to drop to my sidearm, let alone switch out a weapon type. While yes, the added versatility is nice to have, it comes at a terrible cost. I don't tank, so I work at about 1000 EHP. I'm easy to hit, especially with the range system FINALLY working (tyvm everyone, awesome work), and I rely heavily on my build to fit to this particular playstyle.
While yes, I agree that we haven't seen enough actual Commando's out on the field yet, they are going to fall hard in the fact that they're trying too hard to be medium suits, and drifting ever further away from the philosophy that was the HEAVY of old. It's still very easy to hit, and losing the grenade slot....that's the best part of DUST for me, so even if this suit ends up being amazing somehow....I couldn't bring myself to play it :/

What, did you really think I would commit suicide in a public area? I'm a Heavy, not a Commandon't

Why would you sacrifice your most PG-for-value slot (Gernade), when you can already equip a core flaylock in a sidearm slot (negating the benefit of being able to choose from light weapons)?
It is too slow to be an effective swarm fit, too slow to be a good drop link class, too slow for nanite injector, The inability to equip a gernade limits the usefulness of nanohives Too little PG to equip two proto weapons and a proto equipment slot. Too few low slots to equip CPU/PG mods that would be essential for making up for the atrocious base stats
It is a faster heavy (with a lot less HP)that wastes time with two light weapon slots instead of going HMG/Flaylock. It has the added addition of having an equipment slot, so that it can do things that other classes in your squad can already do better.
The melee damage is pimp though. I can imagine commandos pulling out a large cane with a ruby at the top, and smaking people upside the head with it.

I agree. Maybe commandos do need to raise their base Armor and shield to 325 for it to be worth it, since Logis and Assault can STILL tank better being medium.....
At level 5 passive dropsuit enhancements a Commando would have at least 810 total HP making it worth calling heavy. PLUS BEING AMARR thy should have a PG/CPU increase. |

Giant hitbox.... I agree with you Fiddles, this suit will only be able to do stuff in a 'ok' manner. The only thing they could possible do well is snipe. Though, even at this, they will not be as good as a scout suit because their profile is huge. Minmatar Assault is a way better Swarm fit, add any sidearm and you will BEAST! Medium Assault suits and logi suits, will still be the best assault suits.
To be honest, I don't really see an effective niche for this suit. That said, if you can work it, more power to you. |

OP is both right and wrong... This suit will never replace the heavy it sucks in brawls. It does have a niche role as a headhunter. It was made for the LLAV (cuz who uses scout). Cruise around the battlefield ninja hacking and running dudes over. Wait a loner in a place your LAV can't go good thing you have an AR and a decent chuck (IT IS ONLY DECENT NOT GOOD heavies sit at 1012 base ehp and arent in any way OP) of ehp. 1v1 and its not a proto assault or heavy you should win. Wait some other LAV or vehicle giving you problems while doing the aforementioned? Get out and swarm him then nanonhive and continue mission.
Also it probably good for tower defense 514 but thats not my playstyle.
Edit: It will never win 1v1 against an assault unless that assault sucks, and you arent that fast and don't have mobility. |
