The Commando is being freed from the 'One weapon' curse...why not us Firebugs?
It may be because Commandos are a noticably the hardest perk to level due to the stalker req (even toned down), and because the Bullpup is somewhat less useful during later waves.
It probably has to do more with how incredibly limiting a perk like "firebug" is when deciding on weaponry. A "Commando" you can give any old assault rifle (or even SMGs). But a firebug? Um, how many fire based weapons beyond a flamethrower can you think of?
They'll have to do some real thinkin' to help Firebugs out, since the FB's role itself is so limited that the flamethrower being it's only weapon is a logical outcome.
I don't think they need anything new. Just fixing the medigun would even Medic considerably. It should be more forgiving when trying to heal a moving player (it's nearly impossible) and it shouldn't go into a reload sequence even when you miss.
THIS. A THOUSAND TIMES THIS.
It's so frustrating that when I miss I have to watch the animation (which for the longest time fooled me into thinking I had hit them) and hope I can get them next time. Despite my character yelling for them to stay still even players entirely out of danger have an incredibly frustrating habit of dancing away from my syringe.
