Ok, so I was sitting at work the other day with nothing to do and got thinking about some things that would make Commando cooler. I came up with this idea, it will never happen and probably wouldn't work too well but the picture in my head is amazing. Here's the deal, we get a new FT special that works up to 64 meters. It would be an area attack that hits a target and has a chance to hit any other target within a 16 meter radius. It would do minor damage but inflict a potent burn. So far you all say "yeah yeah, this isnt that great" Well here is what makes me think this would be a sweet attack, the animation. Picture this...
You approach your target and stop at 64 meters. You pull out your FT, eye up your shot, and then commence to soak him and the area around him with unlit fuel from your FT. As your target starts to agro on you, you fire a single ball of flame into the ground next to him and a 16 meter circle of earth bursts into flame, sending tendrils of fire 15 feet into the air,scorching everyone in the area.
Now I don't know what you think, butthis would seem like a pretty sweet looking special to me.

Sounds alot like the secondary attack on the FT from Unreal II, spray down a pool of napalm at the feet of your enemy then torch it to get a nice BBQ going, was good to kill the smaller groups of those roach like lil creatures. Was also funny to watch the enemy run around panicing while on fire.

Hm, seems like the most feasible way to work it would be to fire an arcing "blob" of Flamethrower fuel which splashes and ignites on impact. Of course, all you actually end up with then is effectively a Heat Damage grenade, and there's Protons for that.

Long range Specials for FT ????
O_o
its a FLAMETHROWER not a flamerifle lol.
im actuallywonderin myself about the ideal and max range of the ft.
Actually, the normal FT-attack suxx 
change single to normal fire and normal fire to a special - thats okay.
but i dont like the idea to "SNIPE" with a FLAMETHROWER...
no way ! ^^

I'm not a master commando, nor wll probably ever be, as it would required me doing something besides Rifleman. I do have commando 4/3/0/0 because it seems to me that any halfway decent rifleman should be able to throw a grenade and shoot a rocket, (maybe not as good as a master commando but decently) But, to get to the point, why don't commandoes have a rifle tree? pistoller and carbineer, If they want to be truely effective in PvP, need to pick up the specials in BH. So why not riflemen needing a tree in command? It makes sense to me and would be a huge boon to both of our communities. It would give commandoes a long ranged options, which they sorely need, and take some heat off of the riflemans back as being to overpowered. Make the T21's blast to, that would allow commadoes to have an accurat, long ranged option to take down turrents and at-st's since T21's are only good PvP wise at 40m+ (accuarcy curve issues), I think it would be a perfect complement to your flamers and whatever replaces the worthless HAR. Hmm.. make the Har tree a rifle tree? /ponder comments, suggestions?
