Commando Leveling Idea - Making the "Grind" less painful

[Bebo1026]

I'm not sure if this has been discussed at length before, but as most KF players know, leveling Commando can become quite tedious at times, especially when you aren't always able to kill Stalkers before someone else does. Not to mention, it's the only class that requires one to kill a specific specimen as well.

Anyways, just a quick idea I wanted to toss out that might help to stem the, well let's face it, boring grind to level this perk; Make Crawlers count towards the Commando's leveling? Hell, maybe work out a system such as 3 crawler kills = 1 stalker kill or something, seeing as they are much more numerous in comparison.

Seeing as it's pretty much a Commando's job TO take out the lower level specimens as fast as he can, why not give people more incentive to do so? Personally, I think this would really help new players to realize what a Commando should be doing, instead of shooting at full health Scrakes and FP's unless they have no other choice.

Every three months the "Crawlers should count as well..." topic is raised. It is unnecessary. Yes, racking up the stalkers is slow, but the requirement isn't that much and lvl 6 should count for something, right?

Well, why would be it unnecessary in your opinion? Just curious as to what others think.

Wouldn't it help new players get into the role of Commando?

I'd rather the requirement not be to kill stalkers with a particular weapon, but to kill them while they're cloaked.
EDIT: But then, you can level up by accidentally killing them which seems bad... but then again you'd do that using the full-auto commando weapons off-perk anyway.

I remember when you had to kill twice as many stalkers to level up!

But seriously, just don't grind. Play the game dawg.

In my opinion all perks should take as long to level up as commando, but they merely take a few days.

Commando was the first perk I got to lvl 6. It's not at all a grind. If you do it right, the kills and damage rack up real fast...

Imo the stalker issue is always raised not because it is an excessive number but because no one gives you the chance to kill them.

"Only having ONE target" leads to frustrating situations when you play in public servers ( seeing a demo shooting a grenade into a mob and a stalkers boby landing at your feet, for a commando trying to level that's just sad ), not to mention when the trolls actively steal kills.

Adding the crawlers is a good idea if you double or triple the numbers of specimens required. Adds a new target whithin the commando role and makes leveling commando less cumbersome.

Pros:

• Teaches better gameplay conduct to commando;
• Adds a new target to commando;
• Reduces frustration and boredom of those trying to level;

Cons:

• ... Can't think of any.
