I just noticed that all the commando QQ threads are not populating 50% of the first page threads. What happened to them? Did people figure out they were OP and trying to keep quite? Did they already go back to the Sent cause they missed the heavy weapons? Are people just not using them? I am curious why they stopped getting talked about seemingly so suddenly, at least from my perspective. |

I actually think it's because CCP for once did a good job implementing a new item while not making it underpowered or overpowered. While it can have its pros, it takes a lot of SP to skill into, so only the true die-hard AV's who also want a chance agaisnt infantry get it. It's a good new role that isn't really OP or UP, and that's why there isn't really much to complain about. |

It's not a bad suit. The fact that no one is whining about it means that it's not OP / UP.
inb4 "because no one uses it". I've seen these things scattered around skirmishes. |

I've been playing around with the basic Commando, it's....interesting. Not having any module slots makes it a real bummer. You can put much higher level weapons on it, but I hesitate to put too much ISK on a fatty that can't self repair.
Not having the grenade is certainly a bummer, though you can create some pretty interesting approaches with the two light weapons. I've taken a liking to the Mass Driver / Assault Rifle combo, with an active scanner.
It's a rugged, bare bones, gets the job done kind of suit. It doesn't really fit into the theme of Heavies too well, I don't think, and I can't imagine the prototype suit being too impressive thanks to the overall cost of the weapons and suit without being able to up your survivability too much. Yet again CCP adds in suit bonuses that don't actually help the suit all that much, aka +2% per level to armor and shield module efficiency. At first that sounds like an awesome bonus, and then you remember that the commando has literally no module slots at basic level, and a mesmerizing 3 at prototype.
Again, not having a grenade sucks, but I think it would be too imbalanced if they had them. Some of the weapon combos with new weapon switch speed really change things up. If it weren't for the fact that the Commando feels like a dead end path and is certainly an SP sink depending on how you approach it, I would actually recommend this suit to new players for sure. You can make some very reliable fits on extremely low SP with that thing, and it won't come anywhere near breaking the bank. |

No one is complaining because its a lol suit. You use it when you just want to screw around. Red dots are happy because of the easy kill, users are happy because if the silly stuff you can do (double plasma launchers! Trollolol!!!)
But no one specs into it seriously nor looks at trying to make career fits. That's why you see no complaints.
It's seriously a joke fit. Great for dicking around - but completely unviable for any sort of serious usage. |
