Just picked up novice commando this morning. Got myself a decent launcher pistol and headed off into the wilderness to see what there was to see.
THAT WAS THE MOST FUN I HAVE HAD IN A LONG TIME IN THIS GAME
I was killing lesser plains bols just to watch the animations.. normally I would just pass them by due to the minimal experience gains.
And I havent even picked up any of your other weapons yet (I only played for about 10 minutes after getting novice) Man if everyone else knew exactly how much fun it is to blow stuff up like this we'd all be commando's... So are the rest of the weapons in your arsenal just as much fun? I can't wait to see.

yes commando is thrilling at first...but believe me..it will get on your nerves on what still needs fixing...
at novice lvl..you're still used to Master Marksman...you should see what a Master Pistoleer can do w/ the LP...and then see what a Master Commando can do with it... (The damage and speed and accuracy you're doing now...will still be the same at Master unless if you pick up pistoleer)

I just picked up Commando after retiring from the Holo Grind (18 profs). This IS the most fun I have had since I was a noob out dodging Kreetles and Rills with my combat knife. My combination of Master Pistoleer, Smuggler 0040 and Commando is a breath of fresh air.

That's creepy, you stole my template. 
And I must agree, Master Pistoleer with the LP and a good video card is pure visual euphoria!

Welcome to the Commando Ranks and yes, some of the other weapons are that much fun.
In fact, only the Heavy Acid Rifle is not really worth the while.
The Flamethrower is my favorite weapon, Flame Single 2 does considerable damage
even to creatures with high heat resist (well, maybe not that much on Jedi Knights
with 90% h.r. ;-).
Have fun being a Commando!

When you get the cert go out and buy a few Heavy Particle beam cannons. They do as much damage as a rifleman using strafe shot two but there really fun to play with!

Oh yeah if you ever reach Master Commando go buy a crate of proton grenades. You havent experienced the might of the Proton until you have blown yourself up with one.

Sigh... I remember when I thought we were awesome and the most powerful thing on the server. Enjoy it while it lasts.. it fades rather quickly when you find out your job to blow up stuff has been replaced by rifleman.

I agree.... I actually just started Commando last night (grind #30) and said to myself "damn". This is pretty cool and refreshingly fun. I agree, it is a shame that rifle does more damage.... but atleast im having a good time atm lighting crap on fire!
Woot for commandos and may the enjoyment be relished

I'd like to see Commando get fixed to the point where it's worth playing in PvP again. I was master commando/pistoleer for a *long* time before the flame DoT nerf, but had to drop master commando because it was worthless in PvP after that. Still, most fun I've ever had in the game when when I was hosing down four Imperials at a timewith one shot from a 4800 damage rocket launcher or burning them to a crisp with my flamerback in the days when Anchorhead was THE place for a Rebel to be....

You know that is a good point. Has anyone been to anchorhead recently? It is completely empty and I am not sure why. Hologrind? Player Cities?

I think all ofthose things, but more importantly death on decay really deterred mostplayers from participating in PvP. Pretty much as soon as decay went in AH became deserted.
