Commando Archive

I am inclined to agree. If anyone has read Nighthelms post then they wouldnt even bother with concerning themselves about HAR. Simply put it is a waste, it should be combined with the Flame tree and we Commando's should get a default rifle. Hunt down Nighthelms post, it is truly the best post I have ever read a work of methodiacally pratically perfectly thought out art.

Yes, many problems. Why can a non-heavy weapon class, pistoleer, use a heavy weapon and apply their specials to it when we can't apply specials from rifle, which we are REQUIRED to gain, to one of our heavy weapons, the heavy acid RIFLE. We are supposed to be the heavy weapons experts, yet pistoleers can use it better than we can. I don't care if they use it, but we should be better with it if it is going to exist.

How about moving the combining HAR and flamethrower lines, and moving LLC into commando. Then BH would have room for some special BH stuff?

HAM costs definately need to be lowered, I take -24 health when firing my FT and -129 or so when firing the HAR. I've done commando 3 times and have pretty much never used the HAR because there is no DOT, and the damage isn't as high. Now that I've finally finished mastering commando, I've played with the HAR. Resistances are the same most of the time as heat. I just revert back to the FT with DOT damage (it's faster too). They really need to rework the HAR or add new commando weapons.

I findthe Heavy Acid Rifleto be a very disappointing weapon. In general i avoid using it, unless there is no alternative. Which is too bad. I feel it should be on par with the Flame Thrower as far as damage and should havea DOT.

issues......lots of issues. At least I never think to use it...too bad a master commando is seldom little more than a 'shock trooper'

Guys I remember hearing that the HAR can eat away at armors condistion or has that changed

I agree with everything Garvin said.

Instead of craptastic FT clone specials how about a:

Acid Gel 1-2 single target persistant acid burn (poison)

Acid Cloud 1-2 persistant area of effect attact that remain in effect for a certain duration and all who enter get affected

AP 2-3.

Acid would eat armor, not bounce back. So would flaming napalm but not the point

the gun just sucks
