Thread: _____-The Commando's best friend?
One of the best prof's for tactial PvP is a master commando with a rocket launcher and a rifle minor....
If all u want to do is run around and spam specials... Better look into pistoleer TKA...
....so start out against a tk spank them with dizzy then slap them with kd switch to the ft and you have a toasted tk(thats if all goes well)...id probally recon you dont kill him the first incap let him get up and take some more wounds then kill him My best friend? Beer
It takes some of the sting out of other players laughing at your corpse during pvpgives you something to do duringthe run back from the cloning center.
... In response to Maddogs reply, I simply say: Grow up =P
How old are you? 7, 8 maybe? You can't spell, so here's a suggestion. Go learn yer grammar and figure out how to spell, because you are ridiculous! Reading that attempt at a flame just made me laugh. Oh and by the way, I agree that Commando is a very good Tactical position for PvP. Obviously you've never tried to take out a turret with a **edit**in' scout blaster!
Now, the word TACTICAL refers to its ability to combine itself in a very useful manner. By TACTICAL, I believe he meant taking out turrets with the RL... yeah, you go and punch up that turret...
Secondly, PvP head-on... Commando's rock. Get a doctor behind you, and run up the rear.
People who are engaged in combat are looking at who to switch to, so you just run up and flame them! You get a good shot, you can take someone down in 1-2 hits!
Now, I haven't done the heavy weapons tree yet, but your RL accuracy increases... So, further up you are, the more chance you have of hiiting.
... and by the way... 1 out of 10 shots is not 95% chance to miss =P
and out daming you by 3X when your useing a RL tryingto kill a atst

Or he is someone who's first language is not english, but who contributes on a regular basis here.
Maddogs,
I'm sorry you suck so bad at using a RL. Perhaps you should realize that in any "tactical" pursuit, you gauge your enemies strengths and weaknesses. Do you just run around and shoot everything that moves? Perhaps you should go back to playing Quake, or UT or something.
Part of a tactical approach is knowing your enemies better than they know themselves, what armors they utilize, what weapons they use, the different professions they have mastered, etc. Find their weaknesses and exploit them. I hate to break it to you, but I've found RL's to be VERY useful in the GCW, and if you actually go to Master Commando, you aren't really that bad at using them. I do miss occasionally with them, but more often than not I hit, I know the range they are most effective, and I use them on targets that are more scceptible to their attack. Logi isn't saying fling rockets at everything that moves.
The only problem with the approach that Logi suggests is that it is indeed expensive, but then again we are commando's, we live for the best weapons, teh best armors, and the best buffs...so if you are worried about the cost of launching a couple rockets in a battle, well I don't know what to tell you.
Overall you seem to be a pretty good contributer to these forums, much more so than myself, although I am just now getting more active in this. I do think you everstepped your bounds when labeling a suggestion for a template bad and stating that the person knows nothing about PvP. I don't know your skills, but I know Logi, I know how respected he is on the server, and I'll tell you right now, I'd pit his PvP skills up against just about anyone elses I can think of.
I've tried the little RL thing in some GCW escapades, and I have to say, not only is it a tactical advantage, it's also unexpected by most. Most people see Commando and they gear up for the bull-rush, or get prepared to start kiting, when they see one drop to one knee and fire a rocket up their arse all of a sudden a new element of surpise hits them...and they realize they are up against not just another zerg rush.
Do some research, RL's are with our skill mods some of the most accurate of the depletable Heavy Weapons we have, learn their accuracy bonus ranges, take a little time to practice with thiem and youmight just find that although they might not be your mainstream weapon of choice, in certain situations they can provide for an interesting tactical advantage, and change the mindset of opponents who gear up for yet another zerg flame rush.
