Don't give it a tree at the cost of other improvements such as an assault carbine or fixes to our existing weapons... If it would sacrifice anything else, to hell with the launcher pistol... that's my humbly blatant opinion

I have been a commando for quite a while now, and I have noticed that Grenades are rarley used, maybe even never used, and there is that beautiful Launcher pistol there with no specials, which i would much rather use.

So i was thinking, to help the commando proffesion, instead of being one whole tree of grenade certifications and mods, there should be a tree for the Launcher Pistol, the heavy weapons tree would turn into combat exp and then the new Launcher Pistol tree would be heavy weapons xp.

As in Bounty Hunter, the pistol tree is probably the most powerful in the proffesion. Which should be the same in Commando because the Launcer Pistol shoots rockets and high speed

if it had specials such as a ranged knock down, a DOT special and a Health, Action or MInd pool based attack could be very powerful and it would make the commando proffesion a whole lot more fun than Flame single 2 and Cone 2..ALL THE TIME.

it would be a great change and make Commando a whole new experience. Well anyway, it was just an idea that i really hope the DEVS take into concideration. And please post your thoughts and any ideas you have. thanks =)

I agree. I would not want to see a PL tree at the expense of other things, such as a new assualt weapon or, dare I say, E-Webb.

I would like to see the following done:

Either drop unarmed 4 for commando, or give commando a few unarmed mods and specials(good specials).

I would then completly redo the skill tree with the following:

Get rid of the grenade line (Field Tactics) and stick in an unarmed line.

Keep the flame thrower line.

Get rid of the acid rifle line and just add it to the heavy weapons support line. These specials would be completly redone to work with the launcher pistol, acid rifle, and other heavy weapons that could be added in the future.

In place of acid rifles line I would add tripod weapons like the E-web.

I say don't give us unarmed specials... give us defenses to show our melee prereq. It would much better suit us... our flamer already puts us in melee's harm's way enough, and with the new weapon switch delay, we can't wait to switch to our fists in that range. I think if they put in either Commando Toughness, massive def vs. X's, massive melee/ranged defense, or align us with counterattack or some other type of secondary defense to show our unarmed melee prereq, I'd be a very happy camper. (not camper in the gaming sense... just for the sake of the expression... on a side note, all campers are condemned forever into the pit of hades... but that's another topic entirely... now I'm just rambling on and on and on like a fool floating in the ocean... or something)
