Commando Archive

To me, grenades mean almost nothing, unless they give them some serious snares or dots.

As for our main wepaons, if they are to keep our damage sub-par, our SAC and speed is the worst of all exisitng professions, make up for it wit armor break AND a weakening attack. Melee can hit hard, fast, and for low low sac, with armor break, and drop a ranged in 3-4 shots. A commando should be the character class to return the favor. Make our weapons faster, more damage than carb, but less than rifle. Lower sac. Give grenades the snares taht last for 20 seconds or more, or a serious bleed dot. Rifleman is high damage/extremely low defense. carb is low damage/low defense. pistol is low damage/moderate defense. BH is the only ranged profession that is worth having, with moderate to high damage/good defense withduelist stance.

The elite marksman professions, in my opinion, would server better to be add-ons to BH and commando. Gotta bulk up bhor commando, then tack on that extra profession, depending on how you play.

The base to a ranged template should be either BH or Commando is what im tryin to say. The soldiers of every war in the last 60 years have been very swg commando-esque. Carried the usual assault rifle, grenades, and some sort of rocket. Occasionally a flame thrower.

I'd like to see commando take the role of an advanced "grunt". Ability to tank, ability to deal damage, ability to WIN. I don't want to see, in a world of futuristic weaponry and styles, a guy with a stick or a hammer to overpower and out manuvuer a specialized heavy weapons user..period.

If this could be pushed into their faces to upgrade the ranged class, could make all commando and general ranged templates an actual force to wreckon with, rather than they have been reduced to now... a joke. Please Post your thoughts.
