We have for along time been a nerfed.. battered.. and broken career.. some of us held on to our Commando skill through all this.. swaring to the flamethrower as our main firearm.. we asked and prayed for a new assault weapon...
So we get the CU.. Commando gets alot of love, and we get new weapons..
Proton rifle, new flamethrower..
First.. the riflemen go nuts and claim we stole the proton.. so.. now.. we dont have it anymore..
Then.. and here is what pisses me off.. the Flamethrower.. is no longer a certified weapon.. any1 can pickone up and use ..
I dont care if they can use is efficiantly.. FT is Commando.... if this go live I will for sure delte all myaccounts....
This just aint right SOE!!!
This is turning out to be some kinda Disney version of SWG..
Give us the Proton assault rifle! Give us back our FTs!!!

100% Sure its a bug going around with weapon requirements. As other professions are yelling foul after discovering their pikes, rifles, etc are commando-required 
Btw - both weaps still take Hvy Weapon mods despite the bugged (at least Im HOPING) certs..

not so sure, Ive been doing extensive testing on this, and general ranged speed + accuracy is so good now that you will be able to use a non certified Flamethrower very nice, as say master rifleman. Also since commando specials are buildt into the weapon.
But Im hoping its a bug.. just seems to be a strange bug to come along.
As Ive said so many times before, if they mess with the career identity its the final nail in the coffin. They must keep the careers special.

I was playing with pistols earlier today. I can do almost as much damage with some of the pistols, even though I don't have a single box of pistoleer as I can with the Plasma flamethrower. Very depressing.

Exactly, Ive also seen that with rilfes, carbines.
The new HAM system is made so that no weapon can really deal alot of damage at once, making the HW.. well.. not sure what it does to the HW.
One progress today is that the Proton Rifle actually work 
Some cool effects on the Commando Arsenal aswell.. fun to watch.

Well I blew a vent on this post.. but as it is in TC3 now it is no longer a certified weapon, meaning everyone can use it. Now Im hoping as SN that this is a bug.. mostly I think it is, as the rifle was given a "quest" name a few days ago, then the name was reverted back to the "proton rifle" today.
But as it is now, it is a open for all rifle.

I agree, not only has the weapons been nerfed, but also we wont be able to use the awesome nades if we choose to grind out combat xp....look SOE if we wanted Everquest we would just play it, SWG is the most unique game i have ever seen, dont do this to us please.

The nades got nerf'd thanks to everyone exploiting them for FS grinding. So everyone has helped to get the nades nerf'd... Its no good moaning to SOE, 90% of us are all to blame.

I didn't. Too poor. Not worth the effort to grind FS anyways.
