How exactly would you do unrmedhit3 with a polearm or twohandedhit2 with a knuckler? Would you with your amazing TKA powers beat the time out of someone with an invisible sword? Just funnin with ya. Garvin made this hint a long time ago. I can see the mechanic with ranged have a much harder time grasping the mechanics when it comes to melee.
Here's what i would love to know (as much as I am dieing for information nobody break the NDA though ok) LOL
1. Will we have actual defense moves that will queue up rather than defense sololey being a passive act on our part?
2. Will armor be certed or will it remain uncerted?
3. Will there be a special bar making moves more startegic and elimiating the hit3 spam fighting?
4. Will there actually be gap between being incapped and be DB'd actually allowing someone to force of will?
5. Can Iprogram a broken datapadand rig it together with a proton grenade and a MarkIV engine driving my opponent 400 meters away while instantly DB them when they land......... just kidding 
There you go completely rant free... cheers!

WellI would love to answer all your questions, andI would, but I was just asked to keep my mouth shut. Out of respect for someone else, I will keep quiet.
... yep yep I'm taking a vacation from ranting.

Nah just hoping someone or someones (/pokes Garvin in teh ribs) might convince the devs to start answering some of these more basic questions to the public. That would be very nice. I have made a pact with myself that I will try not to rant until atleast after the holidays so I figure I will just ask questions.
Great pact.

I don't know if a lot of people will recall but there was a pretty major thread a month back on this topic...JohboBocal and I had a really good talk about it at our Dinner...I agree with him (as I made obvious in that past post)...I think it would be especially cool if we (1) had a Melee weapon that we could use with Melee specials (like unarmed specials) and (2) that we had at least one other Ranged weapon that could use other ranged specials...like RIFLE that could use rifle specials...maybe the HAR will get converted into that...
Someone might Necro that older post if they want to still discuss it although I remember that there were many who disagreed with that idea...it was a Great discussion though never the less and JohboBocal had some great ideas he expressed over our Dinner...
JohboBocal seems pretty good at getting some of you to believe I actually gave him info...lol...but if you re-read his posts, he's only re-covering some of my hints (which I actually encouraged him to do) as well as re-bringing up some of our more popular discussions...I encouraged him to rebring up those hints and discussions because there were some really good info in them that I think some of our newer Commandos might have missed...There were also a lot of "red herrings"in those posts from where people took and idea and ran in the wrong direction with them...The NDA says I can't share anything specific regarding the CU, but I can still participate in discussions about the future of Commandos...and when I do, be careful not to take what I say as a definitely being in the CU...just things I, as a Commando, would like to see as well...
