Commando Archive

It seems to me that if the launcher pistol does pistol specials, then the acid rifle should do rifle specials. With the pistol having an AR of 2 and the rifle an AR of 3. Everyone going commando should not have to end up as pistoleer to get the maximum benefit from their commando weapon. I mean BH's get weapon specific specials in their tree, why not us?

Not HAR...

Beam Rifle. It'll come in with the same patch. Rifle for Commandos.

In a way its a good idea, but i would like to see the fact that launcher pistol using pistoleer specials taken out once commandos are fixed and our own special added for launcher pistols. Same for HAR/beam rifle.

I'd agree as long as we get some sort of stop shot with our launcher pistol. Considering the explosion that results from that weapon, you'd think it would stop whatever is coming our way.

just want to point out .....

beam rifle = 3AR....

That is All

no.

The Launcher Pistol is not our goto weapon. You guys are misreading the intent of the class. Heavy Weapons will be our best weapons, by far. They will be situational, but situational does not mean rare.

Think of it this way (in terms of cars):

Pick-uptruck (Heavy Weapon),

Corvette (Heavy Weapon),

Mini-van (Heavy Weapon),

compared to a SUV (Launcher Pistol).

There is really no situation that one of the Heavy Weapons above will be worse than a Launcher Pistol. If you need to carry crap, the Pick-up truck is the best, if you need to go fast, the Corvette is best, if you need to take the kids to soccer camp, the Mini-van is best.

The SUV can do all of the stuff above, but not as well.

In a MMORPG, the players control the situation, so specialization is key. You will never use your Launcher Pistol, after you max all other Heavy Weapons.

In regard to the above question, the answer is NO. Why not have rifle? Because we wont be using rifles for anything, or pistols for that matter. We will be using heavy weapons. We will have to switch a lot, but there will be a HW for every situation that is better than the LP.

The LP is a quick fix to a problem. Read my other post about the problem. It has to do with the fact that there are no HW in our novice prereqs.

In the TC patch they fixed the AR cert, so when it comes in live servers it should be fine.. The thing is, if launcher pistol uses pistol specials that encourages commandos to pick up pistoleer to be worth a **edit**. If beam or HAR uses rifle specs it encourages commandos to pick up rifleman. This is just a temporary fix so that we can gain HW xp using the launcher pistol until they get the rest of the commando fixed. In a way its a good idea, but i would like to see the fact that launcher pistol using pistoleer specials taken out once commandos are fixed and our own special added for launcher pistols. Same for HAR/beam rifle.
