Commando Archive

To all commandos: I notice many of you saying that we are fine the way we are as a defense to people screaming nerf on our profession. This is my big pet peeve. We are not fine the way we are. Do you honestly like having a large supply of weapons to choose from but only having one that is useful (flamethrower).

No one wants to pay 125k for a Rocket launcher that has 30 charges and misses unless the target is standing perfectly still.

No one wants to take damage from their own granades while the area effect doesnt work properly on group of monsters.

No one wants to use the acid rifle that specials takes a full 15 seconds to recover from no matter if you are a master commanod or not.

The only weapon commandos seem to be happy with is the Flame thrower, and the devs are already talking about nerfing us because players are complaining it doing to much damage in their opinion. The people who are complaining are the newbies who do not have very much experience with PVP.

We are not fine the way we are! Balance all of our skill lines then decide which ones need tweaking. We do not need to be nerfed.

Where are the developers talking about nerfing flamethrower, last I heard they said it was working as intended and would stay that way.

I think there is still lots of stuff that can be fixed with this profession like grenades to make them useful, make the unarmed tree that is required have a point, fix the flame thrower = melee weapon bug, fix the HAR and its problems. But if i do ever say we are good it is mostly saying the flame thrower tree and the heavy support tree is good.

I know the other day I showed my friend why he wouldnt be nerfed as a commando, I only had expert pistol trained and used a power 5 pistol to run circles around my friend using his flamethrower, damge diffrence is huge and I did lose and should have considering the diffrence in training, but I took them down to 1/4 health, mind you I dint even have a pistol bleed yet... Yes Commandos are powerful and should be, but you just need to use the brains we have and say well that tactic doesnt work, lets try something diffrent.... instead of everytime I face a commando I die because I did the same tactic....I do agree that Flamethrowers should not be able to shot 64 m, and that they shouldnt be considered a melee weapon (why cause umm I dont hit ppl with my flame thrower i pull a trigger to make flames). Like everyone else has stated dont try to nerf something cause of stupid ppl, just fix what needs fixed. As for Rifleman and getting axed with flamethrower ever thought of switching to a spraystick....not a 2handed gun no 3x damage multiplier...(that I am aware of) No it doesnt have the damage of a t21 but it will give u a much better fighting chance...
