Now when they say "built in specials" does that mean were actualy performing a flamecone2 or whatever when we attack or are we just doing a crap area attack with the cool new graphics?

In my opinion taking commando's specials away completely is just wrong. I dont mind that flamesingle and what not is gone, not with the new cross weapon attacks anyways. But I do mind the fact that commandos get no such attacks. I'm not asking for anything on the scope of riflemen or carbineer, but something that makes us unique and not just "uber" dabblers. I'm TKM/Commando(kinda, I have to re-grind after being BH for a short while) and I love it. But now, I have to use something like riflemen or carbineer to improve my remplate on the commando end, ruining the template I was aiming for of TKM/Master Commando/BH 4xxx.

If I asked you for $100 and then gave you a Pre-Paid Credit card that you could spend up to $1000, would that be a pretty good trade?

Basically, we are losing 2 unique specials to gain the ability to turn any other ranged special we get INTO Flame specials...That makes us the MOST unique profession in this game in my book...

Besides, we DO have specials even without dabbling ANY other professions...we get them from Marksman....Remember, we turn even those into Flame Specials...

And beyond that, we have OTHER weapons now besides the FT that we'll want to use...We have MORE non-consumable weapons then ANY other profession AND we have our Grenades...our Role is "Heavy Damage Specialists"...sounds like we might just finally be that...

This also makes us sound like The most flexible and formidable Proff. in the game. Life has just become 1337 and UB3R for the Commando

it seems to me that not giving the commandos any specials of our own really cheapens us as a standalone profession.

Rifleman will look at us as a "power-up"...but we'll look at them as a "tasty snack" for us to take and use their specials BETTER then they can...I see us as the kings of the castle...we can take any ranged special and use it better then those other professions...

When someone in the navy goes on to be a navy seal, they don't lose those earlier skills...the navy is still apart of them...

So, does this mean a flame thrower can use headshot or a rocket launcher can use conceal shot? seemed to have been answered by reading more

Also, you mention that the consumables are regular weapons again, do you know if the DPS they figure and list in the weapon's description is from a base attack or doing something specific?
