Back in the days of the Killing Floor mod, Commando was pretty much the only class I played. I loved the Bullpup in the mod version and I loved being able to cut down a group of weak zeds before they even got close to our position.

After leveling Sharpshooter up to level 6, I started messing around with the commando perk in this game. I wasn't attracted to it at first, but it's quickly growing on me, and I'm starting to fall in love with it the same way I did with it back in the mod days. I love being able to cut down mobs of weak zeds with my trusty SCAR, and squashing an army of crawlers with my AK47 never felt so good. I developed a burning hatred for those pesky ankle biting crawlers during my time with the Sharpshooter, always jumping on me and distracting me while I'm trying to make precise shots with my crossbow. Time for some payback :IS2:

Anyway, that's my random story that nobody cares about for the day. What do you guys think of the commando? Love it, hate it, don't care, etc.?

I looooove the commando. Sadly, it's hard to get a good pub game as a commando because there are too many morons who think it's a useless perk because it can't kill Fleshpounds in mere seconds.

A man's perk. Too bad I didn't start using it until the AK/SCAR days.

Commando is the best!

When people tell me to switch to another perk on wave 5 or 6 because commando sucks I either don't listen to them or leave the server. Maybe they're just mad because at wave 6 I already have 200 more kills than everyone else. :p

You forgot to mention running away when said freak guts them with his chainsaw :rolleyes: (nah just kidding)

Killing trash might not sound appealing, but I bet you won't be complaining when I save you from a train of crawlers about to rip your face off.

Commando is among my favorite perks. If played properly and in the right situation it gives you a great feeling of being 'useful' to the team beyond just killing loads of Zeds. You'll save your team-mates' asses quite regularly, and generally make the whole game go smoother by clearing trash around the big Zeds or picking-off stray crawlers that no-one has noticed.

Don't expect to get a lot of recognition for your efforts though - the humble Commando is a bit of an underdog, and most of his actions will go unnoticed as everyone concentrates on the Skrakes & Fleshpounds. The Commando doesn't care though, he's a professional ;)

There's just one thing I really hate, though: the stalker kills requirement. It makes leveling Commando tedious as all get out. One game I played, I actually made a joke about that by saying "Everytime you let me kill a stalker, a starving child is saved". Everyone in the server got a good laugh out of that.

Also, I've heard from some people that the stalker requirement for level 6 commando was 5,000 :)eek:) before a patch?! (not sure if that's correct, but that's what I heard) I commend anyone with the patience to kill that many stalkers.

Never been a very good Commando myself, it has to be one of my weaker, if not weakest perks... that said, always loved watching a good Commando play. As a Firebug there is no perk I'd rather have with me cleaning the floor :)

I love commando. Its fast and cheap. but I am not that type that like to have that repeatable spraying gameplay. I like to place my shot tactically out on range. so I am playing the Commando as a Sharpshooter. So Im not usually doing anybetter with commando then sharpshooters 9mm sadly :/

But what I do like is. that when you have rambo noobs messing up your zed line, (when they come after you in a row.) then the commando is way better then a sharpshooter. since its redicoulus much harder getting headshots when a noob is running in front of you sideways, and jumping. and then he get hurt and then the medic cant hit him with his medic gun so he have to also run infront of me trying to syringe that ****ing rambo noob. and then they get overrunned and then there is a demo or firebug ****ing up your aim. by spraying down range. and then the sharpshooter is rendered useless against the commando.

Commando is one of the few perks that is perfectly balanced. Even a girl can play that perk! :)
