Commando

[Face-sploder]

Yes, he's old but I want to talk a bit about the commando joke class.


I know he's a joke and all but I loved the idea. In fact I almost pre-ordered the game because of him (possibly if they have a mesmer, but no for any other class.) I might be the only one but I thought it was a pretty cool idea.


Sure its not realistic to put up a knight against a super-elite spec ops trained professional with more explosives, guns and bullets then every player in call of duty combined, but hey we have mages, a race that grew from a tree and a giant death dragon so after some game balancing what could go wrong?



I know its unrealistic to ask for the class to come with the game but maybe have a similar class (or a class with similar things but a different backstory, maybe grenades can be some magical devices and instead of guns have repeater crossbows?) put in as a patch or an expansion?


You'd definitely have my money


Anyone else have an opinion of the commando class?

Well, the engineer comes closest... he can set up mines/turrets, has a flamethrower and can throw grenades...

Yeah but the grenades and guns are different, and he can't all in vehicles or support. The skills differ quite a bit as well.

Ofcourse they do. The implementation of the commando would definitely not fit in the fantasy world of GW2 - the engineer implementation is as far as ArenaNet will go, although even the engineer already had some people complaining. If that's still not far enough for you, then you may have to wait for Guild Wars 3... another 250 years into the future...

If you want some small snippets of commando nuggets then you can follow the aptly named Corporal_Bane on Twitter. It's a fan-run account that makes snarky comments in the vein of Bane

Guild Wars.... IN SPACE!

I like it.

Guild Wars in alternating universes, which the asura have discovered portals to. I'm thinking there should be a universe where the sylvari are actual leaves. Now, that would be hilarious.

Hah it's funny, but Guild Wars 40K has real potential.

^Space Charrines ftw.

^Space Charrines ftw.

Don't forget about the Imperial Charr, the Chaos Space Charrines and the Norks!
