The first part, commandos are indeed commandos, but what your definition of a commando is isn't the same as others. Telling ppl 'if you want tobe decent or 'rule'in combat you must pick this profession' (because this one guy thinks it should be the best) is not a good way to run things. We should all be able to achieve the same goal, the difference should be how we get there, be it massive damage, crowd control, whatever.

(and i came on here in defense of commandos keeping the big guns, and a sense of self, grrrrrrr)

What is my definition of Commando? I simply follow the dictionary:

1. A military unit put togetherfor special tasks and military missions

2. a member of such a unit

Commando is supposed to be an elitesoldier, good enough to execute missions on their own legs behind enemy lines, without help from their superiors.

This suggests that Commando should be the master Combat profession, trained in all kinds of combat, trained for team work, trained for solo.
For balance, a Commando should naturally have higher skillpoint cost than generic professions, differing only based on what kind of weaponspecialization they have on top of "Master Commando".

I just finished Republic Commando, so I find it difficult to think based on SWG balance... I really think people should play it as it really show how Commando should be, even in SWG.

Ok, i'm military....i look at it this way, if title was the basis for what a profession should be, where are the armored vehicles and TOW missles for the Scouts? Why do Rangers get harvesting mods when they fall more inline w/Commando, why didn't they switch the titles there? ie the commando gets to harvest stuff........i know why they didn't, it's a side note. But i know Rangers that'd come and laugh at this game just due to SOE taking Elite Soldiers and turning them into glorified game hunters.

So don't complain if Commando doesn't measure up at this pt (to your own view)......a Ranger ingame is a far cry from what they should be if you use real life standards.
