Commandos: the most useless perk ever?

And if you can afford a katana then scrakes become a joke.

Only FPs are a threat to real commandos.

Even then, the best option is to unload your SCAR into his head.
This is only when he's attacking your teammates or when enraged, don't think "see FP, unload" because that is bad trigger discipline and will result in a death.

We spam nade and kill it when it is in middle of enraged animation XD

Commandos cant even do a thing facing fps even on hard Full clip to the face only drop a 6-man hard fp's health to 75%. How on earth can commandos do? Scrakes is nothing if none of my teammates do silly thing like raging them or try to knife them.

If all 6 of the team are commandos and each shoots at the fp, that's 150% health gone.
Where is it written that only you deal with all specimens on your own?

Some how it just happens, may be there are also some scrakes or fps come from the other side, so most of the team is focusing on that side, may be the fp already enrage before anyone can shoot it.

Not true at all! Commandos can:

Rage FPs
Hurt FPs
Meatshield against FPS
Annoy FPs
Get in the way of FPs
Lead FPs into the team for killing

Yes, I'm pretty sure you're the only one the feels the commando is useless. Have you considered the fact that the demolitions and berserker perks are a little more, "up in yo face" than the commando? Maybe that's why you notice them more. If you really like them, I encourage you to play them.

And assuming those are not bran muffins, would you toss one my way? I skipped breakfast this morning.

Commando can EASILY kill every enemy in the game except for Pat and FP. Crawlers get killed in one hit with the SCAR, stalkers and clots in two, gorefasts in four or five, but you can just go for the headshot and then body shot. Bloats are never a problem, and scrakes can be taken down easily if you reload at the right time since you can see their health. Seeing health bars is incredibly useful. Use the AK-47 in semi auto, its better than the bullpup.

o hai gaiz, my name is Boredom an i lieks to troll and uber hack because i took CSIII

Nothing in KF ever sucks if you use it right and have the right people to cover your back. Unless it's the M14. That piece of ****'s worthless.

[lighto000]

Commando, I'd have to go and say its pretty useful. You can just mow down basic things for most of the round with the bullpup and only have to use your scar on fp's and scrakes, Or when things just get a bit too hectic. All round effective is what i think the commando would be.

[UndeadZed1]

plus if someone dies, killing all those little things means you have extra money to spread around.

It's not worthless, it can be sold to make a small profit, and to piss off the noob who bought it

[raid85]

appart from having the fastest rate of fire, ability to kill hoards of stalkers before anyone sees them, and largest stock of ammo out of all perks. i use a mix of ak47 + SCAR. and together i have more than 20 ammo clips. i can shoot 60 shots b4 i need to reload and still have pistol incase i have no time to reload. so far, only weakness to comando that i found, is patriach at a long distance, and fleshpound. however both can be managed, yet not as easily as other specimen.

Commando is awesome if you can play the game, otherwise it sucks; because you suck.

Me too! I only have level 3 Commando as well.

Using Bullpup as Medic is fun. Ho-ho-ho.

I have a berserker lv 2, a demolitions lv 1 and they do massive damage with they weapons. Being support I devastate anyone coming closer with the Benelli, and AA 12 is a meat blender at medium range. As demolitions, anyone looking me with a bad eye receives 6 consecutive shots from my m32 (not to mention that I boobietrap key points in every level). But as commando, the only useful thing is the fact that I see stalkers at medium range (good thing! I can see how they beat me to death! >=( ). AK-47 is a muffin tosser and SCAR does not justify its´cost with the firepower it has.

Am I the only one that thinks this way?

You have no idea what you are talking about, you are a good definition of a noob... really. You're level 2 and you really think you have a leg to stand on telling us this? Guys who actually know how to use the class.

If you don't like Commando, dont play it. But dont come to the forums giving people a noobish opinion.

Correction: AKs-47u

[spikexppro]

There some thing people need to understand, no peak is suppose to be able to kill everything by himself, It's a COOP game.
The SS is the only exception.

My class:

SS: Pistol, HandCanon, Crossbow
I hate the M14, sharpshooter aren't suppose to spam...
Same thing for Dual HC.
Use your weapons only to do headshot, pistol, handcanon for averything under scrake, and Crossbow for Big guy.

Commando: bullpup, scar
I hate the Ak, to much recoil.
The bullpup as a lot of ammo, low recoil, good sight, good for headshot or spray on lot of specimen.
The scar for everything, Never use auto-mode except for scarke, fp, patty, try to do headshot, it's so easy.
The commando is my favorite class, it's so good.
The scrake: Wait till they start ragging (50% of the heal bar) and empty your scar clip on full auto in their head, them almost anyone in the team can finish them easily.
FP: Don't enrage them, you will die, if you spray them when they are enrage you can do really good damage to them, and help the team kill it.
Patty, Check is heal and report to the team, follow him when he activate is camouflage.

Medic: MP7 + crossbow
The crossbow is only in extreme condition (when the rest of your team is occupy).
You are not a fighter, you are a medic, do your job and everyone will love you.
A good medic can save the team a lot of time and from a lot of thing (game when everything come at the same time (siren, husk, gorefast) everyone get hit and lose lot of HP, and you keep them alive till the rush is finish, after you heal them completely really fast by switching MP7 and seringne(damn, i don't remember how to write it).

Berserk, I never play berserk, I'm not good.

Demo: Enjoy annoying everyone, this class don't even require skill (or people don't have them).

Firebug: can kill everything except scrake, fp, patty, husk.
This is a good class, but you need to have the good technique to don't waste your ammo.
The firebug don't get money when people kill the flaming Zed (Need to get fixed).

Support: Every weapon combinaison is good in certain situation.
Good class, well balanced, do your job. When scrake rage, dual shotgun them to kill them or take lot of heal from them.

Remember, this is a coop game, you are not suppose to take out everything by yourself.


And for the thread reply:
Commando are really good, they can decapt lot of specimen, they can spray since they have lot of ammo. They are perfectly balanced.

great teamwork if you want it work.
unload scar into FP head then it is enraged, throw nade near fp or in front of it

[Zaku212]

I have lvl3 firebug, usually gets me through a wave on normal with fuel to spare,and in good nick.

While in Hard, i'll be outta fuel with about 30 shaggers left, in which case it's mop up with 9mm and katana
