Not sure if anyone's mentioned this...
We know ppl want a new weapon for the commandos, preferably and most popularly a rifle, this new lucas arts game focuses around a clone trooper commando and his adventure during the clone wars. check out the preview at lucas arts at:
http://www.lucasarts.com/games/swrepubliccommando/
-about the game-
Republic Commando is a new FPS game that lucasarts is working on, supposed to put you in the shoes of a clone trooper commando and commander of clone trooper teamates (rainbow six style- only Star Wars). The game is supposed to be a darker side of star wars (looks pretty dam cool). whatever you can read the rest at the link.
-SWG-
Refering to star wars galaxies, if we're talking about new weapons and concepts for commandos, check out the ideas/weapons this game is introducing. i'm not sure nor do i remember the exact name of the rifle used in republic commando (maybe DC-17m) but, that essentially is the main/primary weapon for the commado in the game. In SWG we're stuck w/ a flamethrower, Har (not very star warsy to me).
-excerpt from the gamespot preview-
"Your primary weapon--a rifle--is actually three weapons in one. It will feature two upgrades in addition to its standard configuration You can use it as a basic rifle, or you can add sniper and antiarmor attachments as needed once you acquire them."
Yes i know that SWG isnot "Republic Commando"nor should it be, i'm strictly talking about some of the weapons used in the game that could offer a better idea or suggestion given that the main character is a commando (unless i'm mistaken he does specialize in heavy weapons). i also understand that both games take place in different time periods but in comparision i really doubt that a flamethrower or HAR is more advanced than one sweet upgradeable rifle. just my thoughts and something for ppl to think about.

this has been brought up on many occassions before (and i for one am closely following that Rep Commando 
)
but the commando's main gun as a rifle is misleading..its more of an AR - Assault Rifle..accuracy of a Rifle, but heavier and more machine gun like..but alot less clumsy..and we fit the role ofa class that would use that sort of weapon
i also do believe that cuz of that game, the petitions for an AR have become more frequent
