- Launcher Pistol DOES use the pistol speed/accuracy mods

- Launcher Pistol has a Light AP

- Blast Damage is good

- Flame and Bleed DOTs got nerfed pretty badly, i'll leave it up to a current commando to say whether they're "good" still

- I'm not sure if all the flamer specials still stack, they used to

- FlameSingle1 and TorsoShot DOTs do stack

Launcher pistol doesn't have any AP actually (kinda funny, considering that you're shooting tiny rockets at your enemy... oh well)

The flamethrower specials no longer stack

the specials, IMHO, seem very unhelpful, but maybe that's just because I got used to their pre-nerf power.

Additionally, I'd say flamer isn't worth it unless you can get to at least flame 3, the accuracy at lower levels is just horrendous. You MIGHT hit creature MOBs often enough that it would be semi-worth it, but it's not too likely ( you have to consider the near 10 second wait between using a flame special and your next action... that hurts bad, especially if you miss)

as far as i am aware, each player gets 1 flame, even if they have torso shot. BTW, the LP rocks, for taking down turrets and atsts, and thats about it.

Well, I picked up Commando and was trying out the specials and found that the DoT's DO stack. I did flame single I, flame cone I and Torso shot and I saw all 3 DoT's tick above the mobs head

When was this? Last I checked, we aren't stacking any longer. Maybe I just missed it though.

To test it out i went to a mob and used flame single I on it. then i warning shot/peaced and watch the combat numbers above the mobs head. Every so often (about 7-8 seconds) I saw the DOT tick above the mobs head, it was about 1000 or so, maybe a little less. I went to next mob and did the same thing with Flame single I and flame cone I. This time i saw two dots tick per 7-8 seconds, Now obviously im assuming one was the single dot and one was the cone dot. So unless the Dev's did something stupid and messed up the combat numbers(ie. showing a dot ticking but not actually doing the damage) then I believe they stack. Everyone who siad they didn't, is this based on experimenting with it, or simply believing what was told to you by devs or other players?
