Commando Archive

I was gonna run this by the commando community before posting this on the main dev boards. I didn't want flame and nerf yellers to get their hands on it first.

Everyone in the commando community knows that since we can't make out grenades anymore they are more than a little useless now. They all do low damage comparatively, they have bugged AOA, and are have atrocious HAM costs.

My idea is to make these little buggers usefull finally, help balance us out even more against the nasty BH eyeshot, and give the weapon crafters another form of constant income.

Grenades,

Grenades, as some of their names imply, should give special effects. My shortlist is:

Fragmentation- itimidate (due to the load explosion)

Cryoban- stun (due to the cold explosion)

Glop- imobize for a few seconds(due to the glop duh)

imp detonator- dizziness(due to a disorientating blast)

Thermal detonator- blind( due to the bright flash explosion)

Proton- knock down due to it being the biggest exploding grenade or at least should be)

I think that this would help to give us a chance to fight back against the blind of a BH which makes it impossible to hit anything. Protons to help fight back against the pistoleers with buffed stats. That and we're the only profession that has no specific attacks that give special affects. I think that blind is high enough up the ladderthat it wouldn't be as bad as the BH eyeshot. It would add balance and be an alternative the the ceaseless nerfing. I'ld like to have some feedback please post

srry this thing started posting before I was done read above post of same name.

I think thats a good idea. Right now, grenades I have used dont do much more than my weapon. it uses hi HAM, and really gives me no reason to use them. Its just a sinkhole of money.

They really need to add area damage with them, I think all area damage stuff is broken now. Fix that and they are great how they are now.
