Stop basing arguments on damage to the current weapons damage! wow thats stupid.
They can very easily jack up the damage for them. I would rather havea weapon that has specials that reach further than 16m with AP2. Thank you very much.

Ugh, I hope the LP never becomes our main weapon. I'd much rather have a selection of 3-4 main weapons that are all equally viable, such as being able to choose between the LP, a carbine of some sort, and the HAR (assuming they followed the trends of Pistol/Carbine/Rifle) in terms of how they work.
Given our prerequisites and skill-point investment, I really don't think that would be asking for too much.

None, it's broken and there's no cert for it. In beta it was supposed to be a commando weapon, but somewhere along the way that was chaned.

Lets be honest with ourselvs here. This has been said a million times already. Commando should very well use something from the trees you need to even have novice. Pistol is the only thing and thats not enough to justify for a whole master and another treee in brawler.
Shouldnt commando ( the way every other proffesion is built off ) is to continue the skills you need to become that proffesion? Pistoleers... to become one you use a pistol. When you becoome pistoleer, how retarded would it be to not even have pistol skills advanced past that and you use a completely different weapon.
Others have said it better but you know what I mean. To make commando even logical, it needs a revamp from the ground up. This is not going to happen no matter how much and how nicely we ask. If we do get everything fixed, we have: Flamethrower, good gun, limited to brawler range. HAR, same gun but acid dmg, havent seen any good ones built , ever, and no dot ( dot sucks so bad now so it doesnt matter ) , then the LP, ASSUMING it gets a tree, that will be our main main weapon. All the other weapons are munitions. Even if they made rockets alot better, we still spend a fortune, and if money isnt an issue, then maybe the fact that every munitions makes you stop to use.
I'm feeling light headed... Sickens me that somehow they made commando and never thought twice ( we can question wether they even thought at all ) to think over the proffesions usefullness for the massive skillpoint requirement.

This has been talked about many times over with different weapons to be used. I suggest you all post in LordS' new post on suggestions for new weapons.
