Commando Archive

I've got unarmed brawling skills as all of you commandos do. I'm curious to know if you suffer kiting issues. I noticed that a lot of the commando weapons have a low ideal range. So are you kited by all your enemies? Kiting seems to be the downfall of a brawler or melee.

Also do any of the commando grenades have state effects ( stun, dizzy etc ) ?

Thanks

I cannot say for sure, because i do not use grenades, but i blieve they have state effects that are currently not working

kiting is the main weakness of commandos, just the nerf cryers are too dumb to realize it.

I don't understand why people want the commando to be nerfed. I've seen a duel between a commando and a pistoleer. Do you know what happend? The Commando never touched the pistoleer. The pistoleer kited the whole time and just took the commando down. If anything should be fixed, its the kiting. All you have to do is stay out of the commando's range and you can beat him easily.

So brawlers aren't the only ones to suffer from kiting. I'm curious what the argument will be now? Possibly "Don't bring a heavy weapon to a blaster fight?"

It seems like brawlers/melee and Commandos both suffer from the kiting issue. Hopefully this issue will be fixed.

Thanks

if the commando has half a brain they won't get kitted.


The only times I lose a fight is either a) dizzy/kd or b) i'm severly outnumbered at least 3:1

I was mind poisoned the other day, then the guy guy just ran. I couldnt hit him while moving because of poor flamethrower acuracy at lower levels, and couldnt get close enough to hit him with flamesingle. We can easily be kited as all our weapons are most powerful at close range, this our weakness.

Guys if you are being kited why not break out a launcher pistol, even with just bodyshot two you will do SOME damage, you can also make them bleed.

Supression Fire. And if that don't work, a particle beam will.

stand inside a building if someone is trying to kill you, and is kiting, when he comes in you have a shot and 1 shot will kill most people w/o armor, and if u miss and he runs back out just wait more

I kite Commandos always and often. I am grining away to be one so I try to duel quite a bit (esspcially at starports) to find weakness from from a Pistoleer and CH point of view. As of yet I have not lost in a duel. However the only guy to put his FT away and pull out is LP was the closest anyone came to killing me. I have to say it was a close thing and me winning probably hadmore to do with luck then my skills at PvP.

This should not be changed IMO. You can not have awsome damge and no penalties. That dammage is not really for people but for enemy objects.

As a master commando the auto attack is usually enough to take people out. The onlything to fear is dizzy/knockdown. Kiting really isnt a factor. If someone kites I just let the auto attack do the work. You miss often with the flamethrower but at master level its quick enough to make up for this. I do damage with the auto attack thats on par with others specials. If things start to get rough ill launch a couple heavy particle beams.

lol SmugglerMan008, I was in anchorhead last night with a commando that was playing tef tag...

he'd walk into the cantina and flamecone everyone with a tef...

was funny but annoying... he couldn't kill me with the shot, and the dot didn't either, I was buffed, but it was funny none the less...
