I'm putting my credits on..."The Devs ask Commandos not to Rant, but Flames are all we have..."

I thought that was pretty clever and much better then my silly one, which I decided not to post...."Commando: Mmmm Mmmm MMMM...toasty."*



*silly quiznos commercial referance...btw, and way off topic,....any one remember that deranged quiznos commercial with the dead shrimp/mice looking things singing and playing guitar? They still haunt my nightmares!

I think those were hamsters, but I'd rather not dwell on them. Kinda freaky little things.

But...but...they were mushed...like maybe a stepped on hamster. Then the teeth and pulsating eyes...why?! Why!!?


The raspy voice, "We love the subs!"...please make it end now!


I dunno if the person behind it was a marketing genius or someone on work release!

Well...I'm here...spent much of the night attempting to loosen some lips with volumes of alcohol,,,unfrotunately, most of those in the serious know are being quite tight lipped...


As for the motto...I decided to make sure that TH and the rest of the Devs read all the assignment results...not just specific ones...I know they lurk, but I'm here to witness that they do...


As for what I've found out so far...I have heard many good things...but unfurtunately, as is the way with this position, I can't share them until I have official word...


But what I will say is that I talked A LOT with one of the chief people responsible for the Revamp...and when asked what he thought of Commandos, he said "3 Broken trees, one working one that doesn't work like we hoped...Grenades need serious work and the HAR is completely useles...." I think I have a new bestest friend here (and that's not just the Alcohol talking)...


I've only been here a few hours and so far I have a VERY V ERY good feeling we are going to LOVE the revamp...and when they say Combat REVAMP...they mean MAJOR revamp...To be truthful, my optimisim level on the Revamp has gone form a 65% to an 80%...I'll try to report more tomorrow...

One question....


How did the developers hope that the flame tree worked? That could be both good and bad.. Just being cautious

From what I gathered they never thought we'd use our Flame Thrower as a Primary weapon for all our fights...they meant for us to use many of our weapons equally, and therefore the FT wasn't designed to be optimal for every situation...The fixes, from what I'm gathering, seem to focus on giving us reasons to not use the FlameThrower as much as we currently do and instead use other weapon/specials...and that to me is a good sign...I want a reason not to use my FT...


That's about all I can say...but the jist is that there will be some serious focus on giving us other options rather then just one working weapon...

Ok...I was just checking... I would hate for them to say "we don't want commandos using just flamethrowers...lets nerf the flamer in line with the other weapons to make all weapons equal."


Then again...I know better... If they had said that you would have had to smack them around a bit

Awesome!


Our Field OP made it into the compound alive and well! Great probing effort as well....

This is one of two things. The old, "Tell 'em what he wants to hear (so he can pass it on to those Crazy Commandos)" or, "We've been reading your posts and understand them...hang in there because we are sincere about these issues (so he can pass it on to those Crazy Commandos)"!


I'm hoping for the latter! Garvin has mowed through deception many times...he's got a good instinct and sence of community. Things are looking up Brothers! Commando may not be the way each of us individually picture it, but I have a feeling that Commando will carry a proud name once things are said and done. Like I've always said...HANG IN THERE!


We've been lied to, as many have in SOE, but...


"Sons of Hybrid, of Commando...MY Brothers! I see in your eyes, the samethe fear and distrust, that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage and hopeof Commando fails. When we forsake our hope and break all bonds of fellowship...BUT it is NOT THIS DAY! An hour of Durni and shattered defence ... when the HOPE of COMMANDO comes crashing down. BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY! This day we HOPE! By all that you hold dear, on each of you servers...I bid you STAND!; Commandos of SOE!"


OK..ok..cheap rip off of Lord of the Rings movie..but I tried to modify it for us. This is even cheaper...(after the Commando Cheers...)


"For Garvin!"


Well, Garvin drops the Combat revamp into the SOE firey pit of Dev Doom, and we cause a distraction! Anyone up for streaking with Stormtrooper helms on in Texas? No?


Well enough...All our hopes lay within Garvin now! I have 100% confidence...good things are to come.


Slainte'
