Commando Archive

ok lemme say somthing to tammerel or w/e his name was, you have some good poitns, but face it, the ft accuracy is so horrible, and u should check the older patches, we cant do crap for damage any more. and i was whineing for the better of the damned profession. yes ill admit what u said bout me whining may sound true, im just pissed b/c they r making commandos look like little sissys with flam throwers b/c thats the only... and i mean only good weapon in the skill tree. and yes the acid rifle is messed up. i dunno if u tried to use it urself personally, but it blows hard! i htink every thing could at least use a tune up.

we really r paying to play a beta at this point

DK-KRAKER:

You must be doing something wrong. I hardly ever miss with my flamethrower. Out of 20 shots, I might miss one or two. Thats hardly a serious problem for me. Did you post your stats? Did you post your Flamer speed? That would help.

Even if I miss a flame special, my 3.1 speed Flamer resets itself quickly anyway. If you are having so much trouble that you have to come onto the boards and rant about it, you should go and buy yourself some new equipment. You'll accomplish more by going in game and getting stuff done than coming here and talking about it. "Actions speak louder than words" so to speak, and to quote.

No, I'm a Master Commando - Ihardlymiss anymore due to a combination of skill mods, intelligent employment of /aim, and the proper application of range modification.

Like I said, your accuracy sucks until Flamer 3. If you don't like it, quit whining and find an easier profession - nothing about Commando is particularly easy. If you're not smart enough to play a commando or if, more likely, your playstyle just doesn't suit the commando class then FIND ANOTHER ONE.

As to "the weapon you should be using", the answer is that weapon is NOT the flamethrower. It has been stated numerous times across the board in a thousand different ways that you are intended (almost forced) to use your Launcher Pistol to level your skills until you become proficient enough in your Flamethrower (Flame 3) to use that as your main Heavy XP weapon.

Next time you rant, at least do the rest of us the favor of doing your research first. You would have noticed with no more than a cursory examination of the boards that the Commandos here who have "been there, done that" have said all the things I've said in this thread plus more, giving locations of the best places to level, the bestweapons and methods to level with, etc. Spouting the same uninformed arguement over and over again is simply a good road to being ignored bya goodpart of the community (the part that isreluctant to tell people that they're stupid).

HAH! YOU WANT ME TO USE THAT LAG BAG PISTOL! no sorry did that to get flame 1 and every 1 whined and complained, that is not happening again unless i have too, which i am considering. i just think that thw hwole point of the ft and acid rifle being "Close Range Weapons" you shouldnt be missing so damned much. when i use flame 1 i swear i miss when im 5m away. this is such bs and the devs really needa do sumthing.

another thing i have to add to this post of mine that is practically dead now. how the hell do you dodge a big ass ball of fire being shot at you at about 100,000 or even more mph? i missed 3 out of four shots on some phony ass reb Lt. i killed him eventually, but i got 4 shots out on him, hit him the last time, and then his team mates killed me. this is not pvp, so why the hell is it so hard to hit these npc's and yes i was using aim.
