Commando Archive

I think that the devs should (sometime, but not before current probs are fixed) introduce the E-WEB for commandos to use. An example of this weapon in use is in The Empire Strikes Back, when the Millenium Falcon is escaping Hoth Base. A multi-person crew of Snowtroopers can be seen setting up the heavy gun and firing it at the Falcon. The E-WEB is similar to a heavy machine gun used in WW1, where several men were required to set it up, and additionally defend it. Other idears would be to have a smaller version of this weapon, like the SAW used in modern warfare. The full-size E-WEB could even involve a Squad Leader too maybe. Well, I'd love some ideas from you nice commando folks!

Don't know about multiple-person weapon kits, but I would be extremely pleased to see an automatic weapon introduced to us. It'd also be nice to see some more Star Wars type weapons. Yes, it's been done to death, but Flamethrowers and Acid Rifles don't really seem to fit the continuity. Launcher Pistols seem out of place as well, to a lesser extent, but, for the love of all that's sweet and holy, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INTRODUCE NEW WEAPONS UNTIL THE OLD ONES WORK, AND WORK WELL!

I agree with that idear - more Star Wars weapons instead of Quake ones like Rocket Launcher, Acid Rifle? I'm surprised they didn't have a railgun, heh. Of course they shouldn't put in new stuff until old things work, but hey, it's the Bizarro game developers, so they'll do opposite of logic. In the movies - you didn't see anything but blasters and explosives, and we do have lots of those, but more variety in models for the blasters, or some interesting modules on blasters (silencers, modified scopes, flash suppresors, extended barrels, stylish grips.) But that should be gradual development, and implemented Months from now.

Boba and Jango fett both had a wrist mounted flamethrower, so it is SW approved. And to me, it just seems that the acid rifle fits. Its not a messy type acid rifle that spews globs of acid all around, its a concentrated and presurized stream. Also, the fetts had backpack mounted rocket launchers, so those also existed. Now some might say that means that bounty hunters should have the heavy weapons. Well that's an intersting point but the Fetts are kind of the ultra badass bh's. After all, they do wear mandolorian armor. One key heavy weapon that is missing are heavy repeaters. That is quite the traditional star wars heavy weapon.

Blasters? where does it say we use blasters? Besides the Title "Commando" which we aren't really a commando anyways... it was just a "Flashy" Title SOE gave use cause "Heavy Weapons Expert" wasn't catchy enough... heavy weapons has nothing to do with blasters really... we use the weapons LARGER than carbines and rifles... the T21 should be a toothpick to us! Hehe.... and the LP has nothing to do with our profession except it goes BOOM!

Not ment to be a flame... just trying to dispel this myth of us using blasters and being half pistoleers.... ugh i hate pistoleers...

YES... i've been asking for heavy repeaters for some time now... i'm glad to see another post about them... never gonna get them without letting them now we want them... also whoever said weapons like this arn't starwarsy is kinda wrong (not trying to bash you just to let you know) there is also a few referances to other types of heavy weapons in many diffent places... Bossk had a weapon called a Morter Gun... i'm seriously considering this a heavy weapon even if its a "light" heavy weapon (Light heavy weapons are kinda the weapons that BHs use "Light" Lightning cannon for example and its also has a lack of a good name light heavy is a big contradiction) 4-Lom had a Concussion Rifle... in games like Dark Forces 1 there were a few heavy weaponish type guns... The "Photon Cannon" and the "Concussion Rifle" the last two guns you get for the people whove played it... and i beleave thats the name of the weapons... ONCE all the weapons work right i'd love to see more of an influx of weapons like... also "Light Versions" into the BH Line and just rename it with a more professional name than "Light Heavy Weapons"

Keep this post alive... the more it gets seen the more ideas the devs might get
