Commando Archive

My own version of some of the good ideas that have been thrown around for the last few months.

Here goes:

-Combine HAR & FlameTree into one.
-Give LP its own tree w/ specials.
-Allow the rifle specials you get from marksman to be used with the HAR
-Give the HAR more speed and Ap2
-Give master commando melee mitigation 1 (so going to master has a nice payoff)
-Give the FlameThrower Ap1
-Give us a little bit more melee defense
-Give us a little bit more ranged defense
-Most important: Make us our own proffession, and not a proffession of dabblers.

I know all of these are buffs and some would seem to overpower us. But wishful thinking never hurt anyone.

I wish just for once Commandos could be just commandos and not have to dabble with other stuff to become useful.

One thing I've noticed too is, I equip a Flamethrower, I take nearly 40% more damage then if I had my Launcher Pistol equipped.
Thats having just the basic prereqs and not dabbling into Pistoleer. I don't understand this. Please, someone enlighten me.

Umm, flame away.

Here goes:

-Combine HAR & FlameTree into one. I doubt you'll find many who disagree there
-Give LP its own tree w/ specials. I still like the idea of getting a carbine (or rifle) as well as the LP, so it makes sense that we'remaster marksmen
-Allow the rifle specials you get from marksman to be used with the HAR IMO, either merge the trees or make the HAR a rifle, not both
-Give the HAR more speed and Ap2 Can't argue with that
-Give master commando melee mitigation 1 (so going to master has a nice payoff) Would make sense
-Give the FlameThrower Ap1 Dunno about this. I like the idea of having the HAR and flamer as "twins" in one tree, flamer with DoT, HAR with AP
-Give us a little bit more melee defense A little more would be nice
-Give us a little bit more ranged defense ^
-Most important: Make us our own proffession, and not a proffession of dabblers.

Not too bad IMO.

Imo, just merging the 2 is like making a peanut-butter jelly sanwhich. Not the greatest of all foods, and only a half decent in taste.

No one can complain about the jelly (jelly being the flamethrower), jelly tastes great on toast for instance.

But peanut-butter doesn't go too great with much else, IMO. And we could make this sanwhich a lot better.
For instance lets toast the bread, jelly and toast together are fantastic, so now lets make it even better and add some peanutbutter.

But no wait, the peanut-butter can't be any ordinary peanut-butter, its has to be the best, otherwise your toasted peanut-butter and jelly will taste more like something that was sitting under the couch for a few months.

Hopefully I conveyed my point to you.

hmm, dunno 'bout you, but I'm starvin'!!!

Let me add to that-

We're basically toasting the bread by adding ap1 to the FT.
We're going out and spending $10 on a jar of peanut-butter by giving HAR the marksman rifle abilities (and possibly ap2 or 3, this could however have a opposite effect by making our peanut-butter too strong and overpowering the jelly).

Yes this sounds crazy, but I think you'll be pleased if this was ingame :>

No, I don't mean our toasted peanut-butter n' jelly either..
