Commando Archive

The Commando profession from a non-Commando's view:

Ok, first off, YES I am a Bounty Hunter. NO, I never called nerf for Commando's, and here is why.

Different Commando nerf calls I have heard:

1.) Flamethrower and/or Commandos generally do to much damage.

-Well, they may do massive damage, and that they do. But, the Devs did balance everything out. Pistols aren't supposed to do 8k damage, but you may be able to pull 8k off in the time it takes a Commando to get his next shot off. I believe the Devs balanced Commandos out quite well.

2.) Commandos are PvP gods:

-Yes, their insane damage may hurt in PvP, but I have take down countless Commandos in PvP as a Pistoleer/BH/CH. Just try this. Imagine your in a back alley, and your in a fight with a guy. On a crate next to you, theres a Pistol and a Flamethrower (very unlikely in realy life but imagine it lol), you get a Pistol and he gets the Flamethrower. You shoot him once with the Pistol, and he lights you of fire and your dying from the flames. At 16m, a Commando SHOULD be able to beat people in PvP. (Thats why I stay out of 16m, and I constantly move. It seems as Commandos can't him me while I move and stay out of their range.)

3.) Heavy Weapons are too powerful:

Thats the point. Thats all I can say.

If you have anymore issue I should adress, please tell me. Its late here right now, and I can't remember everything I wanted to say.

Leomi, what you said doesn't comply with your answer that we're PvP gods...

...but first, i can very well say these things about BH...its pointless talking about commando when you have not played commando

and with the pvp god statement:

your example is very bad, since it pits a pistoleer - just an elite prof, against a commando - a hybrid proffession that *should* be stronger. Of course we'll win in that scenario since we're intended to be stronger than a pistoleer, but that doesn't mean we'll win all of our fights. Hell no, we in fact loose most of our fights unless under ideal circumstances...meanwhile the single largest group of PvPers are composed of BHs + Pistoleers...in my combat experience, BH's can many times bring down people in only a few shots - usually shorter than the time that takes for us to reload if we miss our first shot using specials..
