If I use semiauto on SCAR then I won't have enough stopping power to stand against the hugh wave of zeds. I use semiauto,but only for targets pretty far away (eg: bedlam,L-shaped corridor,camping point to the north gate).
Commando spams bullets like rain? I often use all the 750 rounds up..

This is how I read your comment, is that not how you meant it
[I edited the original quote, SMIFF DID NOT say this exactly.]
now I can't be sued.
I don't often play Commando
But when i do, i always finish the wave with ammo to spare.
I use the AK with burst-fire, since full-auto is a waste and i feel that semi-auto lacks the stoppin powah i need.
After i use up the AK i'll switch to my SCAR.
Which i keep on semi-auto, since it has the stoppin powah i need in semi-auto.
But if a siren or husk show their faces i'll make them into swiss cheese with F/A soon enough.
TL;DR, don't spam, aim, and your ammo will last.

I don't understand why you feel the need to attack SMIFF on this issue, if he can get accurate headshots in full-auto then what the hell are you moaning about?
Sure, the numbers indicate you are x.xx more accurate in semi-auto, but what does that actaully mean? What matters is that you can pop heads, how you do it isn't an issue if you can do it.
I use semi-auto with the SCAR because that's what feels best to me, but if full-auto works best for you then go for it, I'm not going to suggest that my preference is 'correct', and I'm certainly not going to patronise you because you prefer it.

OK, apparently I didn't get my point across. Yes I agree that you can use F-A to pop off zed heads (I do it too!), but you might as well squeeze every ounce of accuracy out of your weapon to be even more precise. Also, if we are firing faster than 1 shot every 0.5 seconds (easier to do in slow-motion), SMIFF's accuracy will degrade at a much faster rate than mine, meaning that I am more likely to headshot than he is. You guys know how it is when you put the red dot on a gorefast's head and it somehow shoots his body? Well, that's how spread can work against you.
I like to go Scar + M32 and never run out of ammo. I've probably played the commando perk 5-10 times until about a month ago and pretty much all of my leveling was from using the AK47 as medic or demolitions (it was my lowest perk at 2, now second lowest at 5 ). I use the M32 for clumps of trash and fire the Scar in semi-auto. I'll use full auto when I'm being overrun or in desperation scenarios, and am usually left with 1-2 mags at the end of the later waves and maybe 4-6 M32 grenades. Only downside to this is you gotta aim for the head.
Otherwise Scar + AK is nice, I'm just not too crazy about the AK. It's a fine weapon but not really my thing.

Like SMIFF, I usually leave the guns on full auto and tap when I want to single fire. The guns in this game have insane accuracy even if you are running full speed and firing from the hip. The bonuses gained from crouching and single shot are kind of irrelevant when everything has insanely high accuracy to begin with, excluding a few guns like the MP7.

lol, you don't know the history.
I've tried to be nice on this forum but no matter what some ones gonna make an a-hole remark towards you eventually, and what goes around comes around.
It's brutal here, just get used to it.
about the actual subject-
fact is no matter what the player skill is you have the potential to be more accurate on the semi-auto function rather than the fully-auto function.
You gotta miss all the big idea…Tie big problem is that I don't have enough time to shoot the zeds 1 by 1 with semiauto fire. I'd be overrun,and,go SS for semiauto fire.
SCAR full auto at head height works well,but there is just too many of them……

I think everyone understands what you mean. They are just telling you how they play and how they never seem to run into similar problems with their playstyle.
I personally set the scar to semi auto and spam fire at head height which does me fine in terms of ammo conservation and I find I kill them fast enough as well. You say you were on HoE so I am assuming you are lvl 6 btw. With a commando, ss and demo you should not really be overrun until later waves at least unless you are missing a lot of shots or wasting ammo on med-big zeds unnecessarily. Of course I do not always keep it on semi though - if there's a huge wave or a med-big zed that needs immediate attention, I'll switch to fully automatic and spray it or them down. Even when I do that I usually end up with a little ammo left to spare in the ak.

I buy spare AKs and never run out of ammo. Or better yet, I don't play commando because the class is absolutely horrible and I'm bad at it.
This is how I read your comment, is that not how you meant it
Yeah that's totally what I meant.
Even though Commandos get a bonus to their reload time, it's still not quick enough to push back the emerging wave of specimens.
I'd say, if you find that you're running out of ammo constantly, throw a grenade whenever you're camping and you need to reload. That will help slow down the specimen in most cases.

The perk isn't bad, it's you that is bad.
And you should feel bad for insulting something that you have not got the basic skill to play.
How hard is it to play Commando, seriously?
Fire a couple of bursts at the head, ADSd, and they die. Rinse repeat.
If you see anything bigger than a Husk then call for backup.
See, that wasn't very hard, was it?
Dear CandleJack,
You are right. I now see the error of my ways. Thanks to you, my eyes are open and I see the world for what it truly is. Forgive me if my post seems awkward, I am just in such an unbelievable amount of shock right now.
Again, thank you. I will take this to heart and to my very grave.
On an only ever so slightly more serious note, I think you need to relax. Did I happen to insult your 'main' class? Well, what can I do. Killing Floor isn't a very difficult game to begin with, but if it makes you feel better then I'll concede to your point of it being necessary to have a certain skill-set in order to line up a giant red dot with a slow moving opponent that doesn't shoot back at me. Similarly, it took me rigorous training and skill-honing regiments to muster the ability to type this message to you. Incidentally, I think Ugly Betty is hot, I voted for McCain, and I stand by my opinion that Iraq was a good idea.
No seriously though, Commando IS pretty underwhelming - a Support Specialist or Sharpshooter can outdo a Commando and then some.
How to play commando? Well,3 shot burst at the head to any trash zed at moderate range,semiauto at far zeds,go full auto at overnumber crowds or husks/sirens. If big ones appear then call for snipers/demos. The problem is that they always come in huge numbers,and I have to jeep the rifle running like MGs.
Commando ain't no underpower. Commando exceeds on ammo capacity. Also support is horrible against husks, SS is horrible against huge wave of trash.
