i dont think they'll ever make our class into what it is supposed to be
Partially because people cant really come to an overwhelming consensus (At least so it seems over at SOE) as to what that should be. To be honest I like commando much the way it is (Just with some severe tweekage) I mean we the players certainly know what the issues are. And I was rather supprised to see a dev ask us the playerbase directly for input. Which means -something- is going to get done. Though this may or may not be on an offical basis. Blixey for example went and made the whole BH loot system as it stands now. Because he got bored or something and decided something like that needed to be implemented. It has since been slowly tweeked to 'balance' it out.
Frankly the way things seem to me. Is that were more likely to see the odd change here and there for a while to come (in the long run) before we ever get any serious overhaul like we need. I eman some of the issues should be pretty easy to fix. (Updating weapon schematics for example so that low level commando weapons dont cost 10x as much to make as mastery level weapons, grenades etc).
I mean grenades are more or less servicable right now. They just need to fix the enhancer slots so that Cryos and Glops arnt the only greandes that can use enhancers. And then beef up the dots, and maybe boost the damage a tad too. I mean quite frankly the Glop grenade is almost perfect. You can get the dot stick ratio really up there. For it's CL requirement it has good damage (And can get REALLY good damage with acklay venom).
Specials and the like would probably take a major revamp. And I'd definately like to see the unharmed requirement of commando changed to something else. Every other profession gets something useful (BH for example can actually proffit from it's scout tree in several ways. improved terrain negociation while chasing marks, as well as the ability to hunt and harvest meat/hide/bone/milk etc for cash)
I think TMK is the only other profession that has to pick up a line that wont benifit it at all. And even then you can work it to your benifit if you pick up the advanced profession it leads into. While a MTK/MCom profession would probably result in a largely laughable template. (Though pre-CU such a template was quite the opposite)
Probably another year before we'll ever get a Revamp, and trust me we're not on the Dev list to be fixed anytime soon.
We'll probably see the mystical GCW Revamp before Commando.

My guess is between now and when ToW is released officially in early november...
with the new weapons we are getting with TOW, it would behoove SOE to fix our problems first... otherwise they'll just have more to fix.
also...
our new weapons wont be the "end all, be all" be they are pretty freaking cool, and are the reason i HAVE ALREADY preordered TOW.
