Yeah, I can see what your saying. But somehow they got to keep their range. Would be nice if you could do that at 64 M.

Thats about what I thought but figured it was more in the way in their terms of balance so they would tone it down a bit befor giving us diferent things. They definately toned it down so I wonder if maybe they are intending to go that route.

i would pray so

I've had the same thought myself, seeing as right now rifleman acts as:

• The Sniper


• The Machine Gunner


• The Stealthy Combatant

Add explosives in there and you've pretty much got a commando IMO. In SWG it seems commandos are supposed to focus more on heavy weaponry though, and to that end we're kinda in the right spot, butI think we're severely lacking in implementation and variety. Heavy weapons traditionally come in a wide variety of types: Rocket Launchers, Machine Guns, Heavy Machine Guns, High power rifles, etc. Our primary problem right now is that our skills only represent one (effective) facet of this heavy weapon arsenal.

As such, I want a repeater and an E-Web.

I thought about this the other day. Before I saw where the cert for the new GEO rifle was, I got all excited. I was saying stuff like "Hell yeah! we finally get to LOOK like commandos!" then I found out it was for rifleman... I was a bit disappointed, but hey... I'm kinda used to disappointments with certain aspects of this profession. That said, I still enjoy the commando profession... There's just something fun about roasting little critters all afternoon. <shrug>

Yeah and who says our FT is supposed to be slow cause its a heavy weapon? To me, a T21 looks like it would be a lot heavier than any of the weapons we got. I mean look at the size of the thing. Somebody must be compensating for something.

actually, the T-21 should be a commando weapon. its not a sniper rifle, or a standart rifle for that matter. i believe it is a light repeating blaster. sort of like a smaller version of an E-WEB. where as the E-WEB would be mounted on a tripod and takes 2 people to use, the T-21 can be held and fired by one person. so, this is just another example of SOE screwing up continuity/common sense.

im a 0/1/0/0(almost 1) rifleman on valcyn..and i can say im outdamaging mycommando character when he was approx halfway up the commando tree...and dieing a hell lot less (havent died once lvling rifleman so far)

also..rifleman has a crap more defenses than us, and 90% of the time they dont even use it...go figure

ya i remaber when i was lvling in riflemen i get 3 free shots the 4 make them argo and i couldint kill them within 4 shots usly they coned red

thats why it makes no sence they have all that defence and all that speed

they be way better off with 10k-18k every 8.5 secs (heck they get 4 hits and if they dont kill in that they defently not be attacking that red con mob )

why on the other hand commando is always right in the mist of the fight and needs speed and defence
