I've heard that the flame for commando is getting nerfed to hell and i feel for you guys. Flame is one of the best weapons you have in pvp and I've heard from other commandos that it's all you have. I was thinking since you guys don't have the "uber" DOT anymore why not give out another weapon for commandos that they can actually use in PvP. If I'm not mistaken, commandos get a lot of weapons and it seems the only ones they use are flamethrowers. A nice assault rifle would be nice and fair wouldn't it??
I guess what I'm trying to do here is put an end to all this nerfing ... (I hate trolls 
) The devs should fix all the professions before nerfing their own work...

It's good seeing non commandos comming in here, and offer positive input, and showing some understanding.
But..trust me..the Devs dont even admit that our weapons are..non functional.....Wich means..no new replacements in the near or far future.
TH himself, who claims to have "tested" commando...tells all those who have done the walk, and mastered commando, that things work....And I don't know what weapons he used..but he seem to think, that we are uber, and want to become "invincible".
Wich is hard, when our "mini flamer" the HAR, has its speed and accuracy mods so bugged, you can have a "cooldown" delay of 20 seconds between specials..and you praise the lord everytime you hit with it.
Wich is hard, when our grenades, wich has about the same blast radius as "best accuracy range", usually misses the mob, and those other mobs in the pack..while we get hit by them..like the ham cost for tossing one isnt enough.
Wich is hard, when your "heavy" weapons, Rocketlauncher and all the launchers cost a fortune, and wont hit a target, even if it stands still on optimum range.....if they have ranged defence or evades..
Wich is hard, when our "base weapon" the Launcher Pistol, is the only "Elite profession" weapon, that requires you to take up another profession, to get good with it...(like asking a rifleman to go carbineer to get the specials...)
Wich is hard when your flamer, is the only thing that works, and you need to get to 16m to use a special..wich is well within striking range of the big mobs...And is frontloaded damage..as in "one hard strike"....and its slow..so without the burn, our DPS, is lower than any combat profession..even pikeman..
Wich is hard, when you spent twice the FP than most combat professions...Only to get told by those cheap professions, that we are "uber" whenever commando comes up in a discussion...No matter, that we are more kited than melee people, and have less defences than most...Thus we have a horrid PvP record.
But..Again..thank you, for comming here, being friendly..We do aprechiate it. If it do not sound like it..it is because we are down now...really down...We are just waiting to a bullet between the eyes, to finnish it all.

If only....we've been wanting something like that for a long time now. If only the Devs would open their eyes a little bit...
Thanks for the thought, we appreciate it.

E-Web blaster cannon.
Be nice if we could have it slung from one shoulder and fire from the hip, like arnie in Terminator 2 with the minigun.

I don't agree. You complain about the flamer having a bad range. Thats why you have the HAR. As you are a master marksman you can use conceal and then aim. Then say good "luck" to the guy who tries to fight you in a ranged battle. The will realize they'll lose and try storming you, and thats where you grab the flamer and bbq whats left of them.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!
The HAR isn't a Rifle, it can't use Rifle specials.
The HAR in fact has a WORSE Range, Accuracy, Damage and Speed than the Flamethrower. I do more damage against 100% Heat resistant targets with my Flamethrower than my HAR, it's that pathetic.

no spacemouse you need novice rifleman and then somefor 'Conceal Shot'
and it wont work for a HAR
the only specials that work are the overcharge shots, warning, threaten, and suppression fire.

Besides HAR is a near completely worthless weapon. The Skill mods (speed, accuracy), from all the tests, do not stack at all. It's broken...just as broken as all of our trees other than Flame...to bad TH says that he doesn't think commando is a broken class, even though he plays as one

Just a question... do any of you commandos use grenades in PVP or PVE?
Never seen one used in PVP
